Latin America has long been fighting an uphill battle against corruption. From colonization, to authoritarian systems, and then further to democratization, corruption has plagued and dominated Latin American societies. One may assume that corruption is mainly found within the political systems of Latin America, but rather, corruption besets the personal lives of its citizens as well. One instance of many corrupt scandals is the Petrobras Scandal. The scandal now involving Brazil’s president…

1810 marked the beginning of the Spanish American Rebellions when nations in Latin America began to gain their independence from Spain. With the help of patriot rebels and a growing sense of nativism amongst the colonies, nations such as Mexico and Peru fought for independence. Mexico’s journey involved a large uprising of indigenous and mestizo populations that sparked the concept of nativism that led Mexico’s patriot armies to independence. Peru, on the other hand, avoided a large rebellion…

Sanctuary Cities The fear of being moved from conformity is a grave one; who doesn't like the idea that the hard work they put in for is there to stay and to appreciate. A sanctuary city in the United States is one that protects the immigrants residing in the area from harassment and detainment from immigration and customs enforcement (ICE). The removal of sanctuary cities leaves families of immigrants to live in fear, even though they are wrongfully in this country this issue requires a…

Abolishing birthright citizenship is a much more delicate issue as it could cause more problems than it actually fixes. For now, I believe that we should not get rid of birthright citizenship because of the many problems that it may cause. Donald Trump’s view to abolish birthright citizenship has some flaws, as the actual deportation of several illegal immigrants would cost several thousands of dollars to execute. Trump states that illegal immigrants are taking the jobs of American citizens, not…

Yes I agree that illegal immigrants should become legal citizens. Put yourself in their shoes. What if you couldn’t do anything? Imagine not being able to get a good job, provide for your family, or have freedom of speech? It is very miserable and emotional, wouldn’t you like a chance to be a citizen? I’m sure I would. Immigrants come to America for better liberties and for a finer life. Illegal immigrants are people like everyone else. They come here to live the dream and become a citizen. I…

As of 2010, there were an estimated twenty million illegal immigrants living in the United States. That number only goes up every year.(procon.org) Some illegal immigrants have done harm, but some have done good by not doing anything. It is a problem though. President Donald Trump has recently passed an order to ban immigrants from a list of countries from coming to the U.S. period, therefore it must be a problem. Illegal immigration should be stopped because the immigrants are taking the lower…

Even though those people are here illegally, if they don’t have anywhere else to go, I think they should be allowed to stay and made legally citizens in the U.S. It’s kind of obvious that this paper, will be about immigration. My thoughts on immigration are that, immigration is a good thing for the U.S. because then the country itself has diversity. I don’t agree with anybody who wants immigrants to go back to their own country, because even though they’re not American citizens, there’s a reason…

The decreasing trend also affects the nature of Mexican illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants make up about half of the total 11.7 million immigrants who live in the U.S (Gonzalez-Barrera & Krogstad, 2017), although in recent years, there is apparent drop from 6.9 million in 2007 to 5.8 million in 2014 (Gonzalez-Barrera & Krogstad, 2017). In 2015, although the overall number of apprehensions decreasing to 462,388 in 2015 from 679,996 in 2014, Mexican immigrants still dominate up to 58% of the…

Stop deporting illegal Immigrants. First, deporting illegal immigrants can take a huge effect in the U.S economy and workforce. Not deporting illegal aliens can better the U.S Economy. Secondly, basic human rights; the definition of human rights as defined by Webster's Dictionary; it states “Rights (as freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution) regarded as belonging fundamentally to all persons”. What is america all about if not basic human rights. Finally, why are they leaving…
