In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump won presidency. In his campaign he promised to solve a lot of issues modern day America has to deal with. Some of these issues included immigration, debt, gun control, etc. I am going to talk about my main concerns about the future of our country. My main concerns about his promises are the issues of immigration, debt, and Common Core. I hope Donald Trump is aware of the power he holds and uses that power to the best of his ability. Donald Trump…
Did you know that there are 11.3 million immigrants living in the U.S? Every year, the U.S receives 700,000 illegal immigrants that come in and decide to stay permanently. You’d wonder why people even come to the U.S since we have our own predicaments in this country alone. They are always going to be questioned on why they are trying to migrate here, but these immigrants do have some reasons to migrate here perpetually. This essay is going to explore why people migrate, some controversies and…
Sanchez was able to bring up some very rational, defensible points through her testimony and opinions about illegal immigration and deportation. And, although I agree with her, and was shaken by what she declared, I can totally see the points and concerns that many Americans have in regards to deportation. The common belief which Americans feel a tendency to believe is also Donald Trump’s belief, who is known to be one of the most controversial bigots (opinion) when it comes to the “border…
pedestal of the Statue shows the New Colossus, a sonnet by Emma Lazarus. It says, in part: “Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is imprisoned lightning and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome, her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbor that twin-cities frame.” Cries she with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming…
The U.S. Congress does have the ability to enact effective immigration reform but in order to do so; Congress needs to refocus their views from being prevention oriented to assisting immigrants in entering the U.S. legally and for a lawful purpose. Immigration reform should provide for the ability for more workers to legally enter the U.S., especially in industries such as agriculture and construction which require a large workforce. The true crux of the problem with immigration reform is that…
Even though illegally entering the United States involves the risk of losing one’s own life, many still have the courage to endanger themselves. Leaving loved ones behind and knowing that there is a great chance of not surviving the trip is burdensome, but it does not stop them from reaching their goal, also known as the “American Dream”. This term has a variety of definitions. Residents in other countries outside the United States, especially from Latin American, tend to use it more often. From…
discriminated by their skin color. Other people take advantage to one another. I also feel that immigrants are the victims of microaggression too. Why do immigrant people get deported every day? They feel that they are not welcome, because they are illegal aliens. Don’t you hate it when the police ICE agents comes knocking on the door, sooner or later you will get deported back to Mexico?!…
La Linea by Ann Jaramillo La Linea, is a book that I would recommended to read because it is accessible, connects the reader with the story, and has a good character development. The story is about the difficulties that Miguel, Elena, and Javier have to confront to get across La Linea ( across the border between Mexico and the US). The language that is used is very basic and the words in spanish, that make the story more realistic, are translating. In the part of character development, the…
Illegal immigration is something we should be deeply concerned about in our rowing economy. I believe that our future president should stop or control illegal immigration. There are many issues currently in the United States and with this election, we need to think about these issues. A big one is illegal immigration, and what should we do about it. One reason we should stop illegal immigration is because there’s already to many of them in the United States. Yes, illegal immigrants can help our…
of what the consequences can be if they do not do it. For example, in the United States, if a citizen does not follow rules such as respect the speed limit or traffic signs, they are sanctioned with a more of two hundred dollars ticket. On the other hand, in Mexico, if a police officer stops a person for one of these reasons, they will try to solve…
