Should Immigrants live in the U.S. without Fear? About 11.4 million immigrants are currently living in the U.S., not counting those who have been deported in the last years due to the SB 1070 legislative act presented in 2012. The nation of immigrants needs to take action and needs to be supported. Americans should definitely support immigration reforms not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it strengthens families, our economy, and our country. There are Americans who believe…

As discussed in the last discussion post, the consensus is immigrants are coming to America to make money that could not have been made in their country. This can’t be said for all, but this seems to be the norm compared to the previous 200 years. Work in their home country is scarcer and they are underpaid. In the past, people from other countries would come to America for a better way of life. For more privileges, improved human rights, and to chase the American dream. Once here, they were…

America was shaped by immigrants and their ideas. Immigrant’s have had a big impact on America and our daily life’s wild would not be the same. One inventor that has had lots of impact on our life’s is Andrew Carnegie who had impact on the steel industry. Andrew was a immigrant from Dunfermline, Scotland. Kennedy and Quinlan might have the same point of view of America and be writing about the same thing but, there are many differences also. Some of the things that the authors do similar is…

Impact of the Second Industrial Revolution The Second Industrial Revolution was a major turning point for the United States of America. A vast number of immigrants began arriving to the U.S. which caused overpopulation and increased diversity. During this period, Robber Barons emerged and began acquiring a ridiculous amount of wealth and power by gaining control of industries and forming monopolies. These Robber Barons also began corrupting congress by influencing the law making process with the…

Immigration “Since 1970, more than 30 million foreign citizens and their descendants have been added to the local communities and labor pools of the United States” (11). It is the numerical equivalent of having relocated within our borders the entire present population of all Central American countries. The United States is the best country in the world, but it is starting to become a disaster. Immigrants should not be granted into the United States of America. With thousands of illegal…

How would you feel if you were forced to leave a country in which you thought would be a new beginning for you and your family? From this topic, I researched a little and came upon an article that talks about this situation. I found this article on a website known as CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) Backgrounders. The authors of this article are Danielle Renwick and Brianna Lee. When I first click on the link the first sentence caught my attention. I agree with this article that immigration…

The film industry has been around for many years. And throughout these years, many great movies have been created, ranging from romantic films: The Notebook, to death, and gore horror films: Nightmare On Elm Street, to action films: The Avengers, and to calm us down an offer a laugh or two, comedic films: Scary Movie. Each genre offers its own special element, and message relates, to us in some way or form. I first start off with the Queen of Romance, the Romantic Movie. Highly praised…

Billy Ayers, an American social activist, said “Imperialism or globalization - I don't have to care what it's called to hate it”. The history and discoveries have proofed that since the very ancient time, people have been enthusiastic about making new discoveries by travelling far away from their homeland. People from different regions gathered to do economic trades, ideas exchanges, and also cultural swaps. Furthermore, this huge historical phenomenon continues until today. Mufwene (2010)…

Questioning Identity: Examining the Historiography of South Asian Immigrants The historiography on South Asian immigration to the United States needs to be further developed because it is extremely under-developed. While the story of their immigration to America does not follow the popular narrative of other American-bound immigrants, in which most came to straight to the United States and settled, there is no excuse for their historiography and all its unique facets remaining unexplored. The…
