There are over 11 million illegal immigrants in America. Many illegal parents have their children over the border allowing them to become American citizens. Citizenship is granted to these kids under the 14th amendment. This is also known as birthright citizenship. People feel strongly about whether this should be allowed or if immigration regulations should be stricter. Many people are supportive of birthright citizenship in the United States, including a highly regarded columnist, Linda Chavez…

Many Americans suppose that the constitution declares anyone born in the U.S. has the right to citizenship. In the article, “The Proposal to Eliminate Birthright Citizenship Is Long on Attacks, Short on legality” by Ediberto Roman, a professor of law, explains the 14th Amendment as it claims that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Birthright citizenship is dated back since the constitution, it…

A global citizen is somebody who lives to better the world around them, to be a citizen of earth, not just the community in which they live. Global citizens are hard to find. There are not many people on Earth who are truly global citizens and not because they don’t want what is good for the world, but because they haven’t been afforded the opportunity to explore the world to discover what truly is the best for the entire world. Firoozeh Dumas is not a global citizen according to my definition.…

Immigration is happening at a very high rate, some legally and many not legally. Approximately 11 million people live undocumented in the U.S.(Immigration notes). All immigrants have arrived from what is known as the front door, side door, and back door policy. Front door policy is when a person arrives to be a permanent citizen by going through the legal steps to be a citizen (Immigration notes). First they become a naturalized citizen and are here in a legal long term residency which after so…

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men -…
