The system that immigrants are put through…

Reading these articles was an eye opener. Before I read these articles, I had a sense of white privilege but never really thought about it. As stated in White Privilege by Peggy McIntosh on page 172, “..whites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege.” Learning about it has really opened my eyes about society and the government, and it’s shocking.

It seems that the passage of time is a factor to consider when you are discussing the issue of illegal immigration. I think it’s a logical part of the conversation only if it’s used appropriately. Joseph H Carens a professor of political science at the university of Toronto has commonly used the theme of time in his article, the case for amnesty. Caren’s states a moral claim that time erodes the states right to deport illegal immigrants. He uses a very convincing approach to lure the reader to…

homes with multiple families in order to save money. These living conditions are not very safe. Some laborers live in their vans because they cannot afford anything better. Others live in shacks without running water, electricity, and bathrooms. No human should be faced with the need to live in these types of…

During the early 20th century, swarms of immigrants began coming to America, in hopes of a better life. They were soon exposed to several forms of corruption--although many did not know of this. This was because most immigrants came from poverty, and did not have a high end education.

In The Jungle, Upton Sinclair presents a wide range of…
