Martinez, Henry HE D 221 16 November 2015 Lack of Economic Stability Lack of economic stability is one thing. Being Hispanic is another. Put them together and they really kind of almost lock on. I am not saying that every Hispanic out there is low income or lack stability economically. Those who do are the first generation that is born into a low-income family and the family does not have much to give to their kids. First generation Hispanics struggle and tend to have a hard time since they…

In Ava DuVernay’s film 13th, the prison system is presented as the new form of slavery by how it maneuvers around the thirteenth amendment and contains elements that resemble slavery. The prison system has been an issue that has been growing by the years with the numbers of imprisonment moving up. Immigration detention centers have become known as a form of prison because of the way they are set up and the reasoning of money that fall behind them in order to keep them running. The way government…

SB 1070: Making Our Neighborhoods Safe America can be described as a melting pot of different nationalities coming together as one. Most everyone who lives in America either comes from a different country or their ancestors came to America looking for opportunity. Since America is made upon the immigrants that arrived in our country years ago, we would think that we would have an open door policy for everyone today. Immigrants today don’t arrive at Ellis Island and simply walk off the boat and…

Are Immigrants Important In America? Are immigrants important in America?I want to answer this question in this text as unbiased as I can. It just feel like people are very misinformed about this subject. America is a melting pot of culture,languages and freedom. There is a reason why people leave their own country to come to America, but for whatever that reason is;people who migrate to America seem to be the target of political bashing. The 2016 election is an excellent example of this, one…

Do you know someone who crossed the border to find opportunity and success in the U.S?Mexicans are the hardest workers in America and aren’t being treated that way.Mexican immigrants should be documented and made U.S citizens. Mexican immigrants just like any person in the u.s pay there taxes .Up to 8 million mexicans in the U.S paid there taxes,making it two-thirds that live here.The taxes paid for include income taxes ,medicare and social security taxes.The revenue from illegal…

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…

In the first paragraph I will talk about things we thought were bad about illegal immigration but are not the worst.
