Some people might argue that reforming the immigration system is not worth investing money by government. The system is working well that there are people constantly coming to the United States and lots of them are becoming citizen even it does takes a complicated process and long waits. People like Ngai, McDaniel, West, and Semotuik argued the struggles that immigrants have to face with our current system while people like York believe that there is nothing wrong. Byron York is a Chief…

Sometimes one of the biggest challenges for individuals in the immigrant community is a lack of awareness of the challenges they face on the part of other immigrants. As a Peruvian citizen from an educated family, and a U.S. green card holder, I have been peripherally aware of differences in the experiences of individuals based on their immigration and socioeconomic status. A recent experience intensified my focus on those differences. It was learning about the life of a boy sitting next to my…

People all over America are being taken from their families, deported, and are scared to death. People in our community are being arrested. People will innocently be going to work and find the police waiting for them. This has caused friends to move and is hurting the community of Long Beach. Our safe place is disintegrating. 25 students, 25 friends have “disappeared” hurting the school that they went to. This random act has confused the officers not knowing if they moved or if something…

In 1884, Europe congregated and, in an imperialistic fashion, determined who received which section of Africa. In this meeting, called the Berlin Conference, Britain received the region that is currently known as Uganda. Beginning their colonization in 1890, the British East Africa Company sent Captain F.D. Lugard to sign a treaty with the leader of the largest kingdom in the region, Buganda. Following the treaty, Lugard grew Britain’s influence further by signing two more treaties with the…

Imagine leaving your country to start a new life elsewhere. In the 1920’s and the 1930’s many immigrants went to Ellis Island. After they arrived at Ellis Island the immigrants had to pass a medical inspection and a mental inspection. Getting into America was not easy. First, at Ellis Island they would arrive by boat or ship. Wealthy people had nicer places to ride, but the unwealthy immigrants would have to ride in a cramped and small deck that they shared with many others. The well-off…

Immigration in the present age is similar, but yet very different from the late 1800s and early 1900s. In the 1800s-1900s the process was sure simpler, but the repercussions were very embarrassing, and sometimes not even worth it due to them being deported back to the country that they desired to leave. In the present day its a lot more complicated, less embarrassing, but has more risks Immigration is considered stressful to those who do it correctly and or wrong/illegally. Though is the…

Based on the statistic data in 2013, “ In 2013, approximately 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States, an all-time high for a nation historically built on immigration.” (From the Migration Policy Institute From this data). From this statistic data, it demonstrates that it’s popular for people choosing immigrant to United States because they have more work chances in U.S and enjoy preferable welfare than in their own countries. However, others will treat them differently because they…

The essay, immigration problem is about us, not them by Jo- Ann Pilardi, is an excellent and insightful story. Because it clearly depicts to us the reason as to why the United States of America faces the challenge of many undocumented immigrants in the country. According to Ann Pilardi, this immigration issue has been majorly contributed by the Americans themselves. Though, the whole blame does not fall on the Americans themselves because in the event of this immigration the Americans benefit…

it. (Doc 3). Despite what the empress had believed, the king of Prussia himself seemed uneasy of the future endeavours in his country. In a letter to his foreign minister, he expressed his understanding that Prussia needs to be united with other European countries, rather than fight them. (Doc 4). Andrew Symmer, a British representative, was also tired of the constant competition. In a letter to his government, Symmer explained that it made no sense to tax the Spanish in the Americas, since the…

The group of immigrants that came to the united states around the 1870s-1920s came from southern, Latin American, European countries, and even a small portion came from Asian countries. They did not speak English, and most of the immigrant’s religions were Catholic and Jewish. The immigrants coming into America did not stay in rural areas they preferred urban areas, or eastern cites. This group of immigrants came mostly through Ellis island and upon arrival they were checked for diseases, and…
