Alien Resurrection

A man makes the most daring crossing of his life. After gathering all of his courage he crosses something that could be his new life or his undoing, the U.S., Mexico border. No matter what he does, from this moment on he lives in the shadows. This story has become more and more common as illegal or otherwise known as undocumented immigrants have been entering and living in large numbers in the U.S. Their presence has seeped into the fabric of the country, even it’s politics today. As…

Entering a new foreign environment is a struggle one cannot relate to unless they are put in a similar position. Although I have experienced moving to a different American city and switching schools, but leaving your home country to find suffrage in a new territory is very different. New language, new food, new clothes, different social norms; your life in a way restarts. I have always wondered how my parents (both Ghanaian immigrants) were able to adjust to such different environments; it is…

The Immigration movement was triggered by Arizona signing the Senate Bill 1070 which led to numerous protests. The rate of deportations is outrages. “The crusade against undocumented residents peaked under President Barack Obama, deportations reached a record 1.5 million people in his first term alone, averaging more than one thousand deportations per day”(Jobin-Leeds 86). Millions of families are being separated by the deportations. People do not really think about families being separated by…

Illegal immigrants have been a major issue for quite some time now. Many illegal immigrants choose to come to the US because of the places they lived, an example of this is Estevan and Esperanza they were in a very bad place before they came to the US. If a lot of immigrants were to stay in their hometowns they would possibly dead or in serious danger. Immigrants also have a choice to either start a new life or hide in the shadows. When they choose to start a new life this helps our country and…

The topic regarding legal and illegal immigrants has been a debate in our country for years; nevertheless, it is safe to say that many of these minorities in the United States have populated into a majority. According to “The Facts on Immigration Today”, the foreign-born population in the past decade has significantly increased. America’s foreign population has gone up from 31.1 million people to about 40.8 million people in just ten years (2014). Minorities, such as Hispanics, Asians, and…

The social work profession is to infuse change into the lives of individuals and into the community to reduce or eradicate the ill effects of personal distress and social inequality (Cox, Long, & Tice, 2016). Social workers are constantly working on brooding their horizons, by learning on the job or continuing education. Social work has seven values, some of which are grouped together, “dignity and worth of person, competence, importance of human relationships, integrity, human services, and…

What is Border Security? Border Security is the protection from illegal weapons, drugs, and people that are trying to come across the border into the U.S. Some pros of Border Security is that it protects us from terrorism/danger, and we have more jobs for the people that live here already. Some cons of Border Security is America is pretty much immigration itself, legal immigration still exists, there will always be a way in no matter what, and it creates more jobs and ideas for people. I am not…

America has been described as the country of endless opportunities and freedom. People have risked their lives to escape from their countries to come to this great nation to obtain those possibilities. Foreigners face the difficulty of insufficient funds because of their immigration status and possibly the lack of educational achievements. Many Americans have become outraged over time due to the decreased work employment and have placed their blame onto those who are immigrants. The majority of…

All things aside, whatever comes out of this election cycle, there will be action done towards the issue of illegal immigration. We must not ignore the needs of the people residing in this country, be it citizens or undocumented. The needs of the citizens should be addressed; therefore, there should be more done for the protection at our southern border from unknown people and the drugs that could be brought. However, this does not undermine the needs of the contributing undocumented population;…
