...facing one of the more major challenges in its history, achieve that the migration process is carried in order, development and applying the laws that are effective for the benefit of our society. In the next few months, immigration reform will be high on the list of priorities in the House of Representatives. Despite significant public support for immigration reform among members of the public in both parties, many of the most basic facts about immigrants and immigration remain misunderstood. Immigration reform is part of the solution for creating a stronger, more successful, and unified nation. America is a nation of immigrants, and welcoming immigrants reflects the key values on which this country is based: hard work, perseverance, taking on challenges, demonstrating individuality, and showing compassion. In addition, immigration reform is a bipartisan issue where everyone can agree that a working immigration system contributes to a stronger country—economically, socially, and culturally. Anti-immigrant pundits often downplay the importance of immigration to America’s future, treating immigrants and immigration as a threat. While there are plenty of legitimate issues to question and debate in immigration policy, choosing to use the topic as a wedge issue, stirring up fear and uncertainty, hoping to pit people against each other, is not only unproductive, but damaging to our civic life. The facts make it clear that reform of our immigration system can benefit everyone...

...children. Each story is unique, passionate, and encouraging; as a person I do realize that each person has a right to better their life through hard work, and wish to fulfill their dream. This country was build by immigrants who sought a better opportunity, however, what was in the beginning of 20th century, drastically changed in 21st. The ongoing debate is more evolving regarding illegal immigrants and anchor babies. This issue is seeking more and more attention by the government and political figures. How does the government should deal with increasing numbers of illegal immigrants and increasing population of anchor babies. When this issue arises in the debate, we turn to 14 Amendment of Constitution, which states; All persons born or naturalized in the United states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united States. The intent of the original amendment is not to facilitate illegal aliens defying U.S. Law and obtaining citizenship for their offspring, or obtaining benefits at taxpayer expense. The United States is unusual in it's proposal to extend citizenship to anyone born on its soil. If we turn to other developed countries that have developed their citizenship practice to eliminate the problems caused by the practice of birthright citizenship. The anchor baby problem has grown to such large proportions that the united States cannot avoid it. It is only logical to correct the problems that is getting bigger and bigger this burden falls on Congress...

...Integration to Canadian Society This paper will examine the difficulties immigrants have when they arrive in Canada with respect to assimilation of language, transferability of education in finding a job in Canada and training that exists for the newly landed immigrant. We will also touch the difficulties it poses for Canadian citizens in dealing with this influx of immigrants into our urbanized centers. Anglo Canadians have quickly become a minority and continue to become a shrinking minority. Immigrants arriving to Canada in most cases believe that they have made the right choice to leave their homeland in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their children. After all Canada has a global reputation as being one of the best countries in the world for many reasons. There is free healthcare available and educational opportunities if so desired as well as many provincial social services in place to help new immigrants transition into Canadian society. Some immigrants leave there come country because of instability within their government causing national unrest and dangerous circumstances for ordinary citizens. In other cases immigration can occur simply because they are seeking a better opportunities in life. Up until 1960’s “Canada’s immigration objective was to attract more British and American immigrants, as well as immigrants from the “preferred countries” of central and northern Europe” [4] Canada’s immigration policy after 1960 has historically been very relaxed...

...population. Illegal immigrants are generally defined as unauthorized residents that are foreign-born non-citizens and who are not legal residents. There are two ways an unlawful status can occur, the most common one happening when individuals are entering the United States without the appropriate paperwork, mandatory inspections, and background searches. In the second occurrence, individuals were first legally admitted for a certain period of time predetermined by authorities and this either as students, visitors, or temporary workers. Once the time frame expired, they omitted to leave the country as they were mandated by law, thus becoming illegal residents. According to The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) latest report, it is estimated that over ten million illegal immigrants were currently residing in America as of January 2010, from which about 60% originally lived in the country of Mexico. Furthermore, the official statistics revealed that the overall population of illegal immigrants in the United States has enlarged by almost 30% in the past decade alone; this means that more than two million unauthorized aliens came to this country since the year 2000 (1). From such alarming numbers, the mainstream population seems to agree that an immigration reform is needed, but a continual conflict is keeping the nation from a solution. The argument revolves around what should be done with all the illegal immigrants that have been let in the country and are living among us. The...

...Illegal Immigrants Illegal immigrant creates a drain on the U.S Government. The total impact that illegal immigrants have on the United States is that Immigrants are causing a financial deficit. Illegal households created a net fiscal deficit at the federal level of more than $10 billion dollars in 2002. The illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government and only paid $16 billion in taxes. Which show illegal immigrants are causing the United States to be among a crisis? Among the largest cost are Medicaid ($2.5billion); treatment of the uninsured ($2.2billion); food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC and free school lunches and etc. Illegal immigrants don’t pay payroll taxes; they are getting citizens benefits without paying taxes. Also citizens are being charged higher tuition then immigrants to attend college. Illegal immigrants are coming over to United States to get an education and to obtain employment. Immigrants obtain employment when citizens of the United States are out of work and unable to provide for their families. How can we help others when were in a crisis ourselves. Illegal immigrants are able to get the best of both worlds such as coming to United States for education and working without paying taxes. So why are they able to get the same benefits as citizens? Why would illegal immigrants want to become citizens if their able to work and get education without paying taxes? There are a lot of Illegal immigrants populated...

...Paper on Citizenship Introduction Citizenship is being defined as the relationship between the state and individuals. Historically citizenship is being inevitably linked with the state formation. Originally citizenship was denoting residence of people within protected walls of a city. Thus, whoever belonged to a community residing inside the boundaries was considered a citizen. Later this term has acquired a different meaning and the standards and definitions of citizenship have changed. There were many reasons that have caused such changes: history proceeded with its migrations, wars and annexation and along on its way brought new meanings to citizenship. Such change in definition, for example, can be found in suffrage granted to women and the nonpropertied classes. Paupers, convicts and soldiers are another example of how political and civil rights were once a privilege of certain classes only (Dahrendorf, 1974, p. 11). With the introduction of mass democracy and social protection as well as introduction of welfare state a need in the new conception that would look on the relationship on an individual and the state appeared consequently. The norms of citizenship, therefore, have improved with the development of state and citizenship became a multination concept, which implies different things to different nations (Dahrendorf, 1974, p. 12). According to Michael Ignatieff (1995), the introduction of the welfare state can be explained as an attempt to make citizenship “a real...

It would be an injustice if their rights for citizenship were taken away because of their illegal status. Children should not be objectified on their status because they are not politically developed to interpret the policies against immigration. The ambition for these young individuals is not to break the law of the land, but to build a better future for themselves and their family. Their minds to construct a path to the American dream are what defines this country and purpose among its...

...version of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, including addenda that provide a path to citizenship for immigrants younger than 12 years of age and augment enforcement and deportation efforts for adult immigrant criminals. In consideration of the goals and prospects of our proposed legislation and its implications for future immigration politics, there are several obstacles that appear relevant to its passage. Obstacles to Previous Reform Attempts One of the greatest challenges for our group to confront is the elevated level of partisanship currently present in Congress and the federal government as a whole. Research demonstrates that over the last several decades, increasing division along party lines-- particularly in Congress’ voting patterns—has ignited simultaneous division over immigration policy and reform. A 2011 study released by the Immigration Reform Caucus of the House of Representatives revealed that agreement on immigration-related legislation in both the House had dropped on average 4 - 5% with each successive session of Congress. These numbers correlated closely with similar analyses of changes in party polarization during the same period (1975-2005). Overall, these data portray the Democrats' as supporters of policy that is more forgiving for undocumented immigrants—including more amnesty initiatives and citizenship measures, while reflecting the Republican focus on tighter enforcement of existing policy and concern for national security...

...Solutions to the Influence of Illegal Immigrants on Health Care Costs Learning Team A University of Phoenix HCS 440 Monday, January 27, 2014 Solutions to the Influence of Illegal immigrants on Health Care Costs The problem of illegal immigration is current and has been around for decades. With over 11 million immigrants there has not been a successful action on how to prevent this from happening; the United States should consider solutions to this economic issue. According to Sy Mukherjee studies have shown that the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants cost federal and state governments 10.7 billion a year in health care expenditures. We have all been witnesses to hospitals and medical facilities struggling with the rising cost of providing care to the uninsured population. Hospitals and health care facilities are struggling with massive costs of uncompensated medical services for uninsured people, by federal law they cannot be turned away for the lack of insurance or the ability to pay. Unfortunately these costs are only estimates because health care facilities do not ask for proof of citizenship before providing care. The immigrants are overwhelming healthcare in this economy. Due to billions of tax payer funded dollars they have cost us, a dozen of hospitals in the south-western states have been affected by this. They either go bankrupt or close down. According to CAIR (an organization) ‘because of the federally-mandated...

...Abstract Immigrant groups in various lands have had to contend with ferocious animosity in the wake of the twentieth century. It is not till the late decades of twentieth century that there has been significant relief from oppression and stigmatization even in the face of law prohibiting such inhumane acts. These illegal activities are present long after all lands were emancipated and freed from colonization. Of noteworthy concern is the issue of citizenship. Neither philosophers nor legal professionals have come to a consensus on a clear cut definition of citizenship in order to determine who does or does not qualify for citizenship in different lands worldwide. Despite adequate protection by conventions on human rights outright objectification...

...citizen is formally removed from the U.S. for a violating the U.S. immigration laws. The U.S. Citizenship and immigration Service (USCIS) is the government agency that handles lawful immigration into the U.S., a different agency known as the Executive Office for Immigration (EOIR) is a division oversees the court procedures when an alien is brought before an immigration judge. Deportation may have the greatest individual impact on those actually marked for removal, meaning sent back to their home country. The removal procedure begins with the Department of Homeland Security file a document called a “Notice to Appear” form I-862 with the immigration court after is served on the alien. An order for deportation is disruptive to illegal immigrant families. Parents and children stand to be separated from one another with long periods of time, and a family might be forced to move on without the deportee, because illegal immigrant lack of monetary means, also children could become wards of the state. According to the Pew Research Center, relieve from threats of deportation is more important for Hispanic illegal immigrants than obtaining a chance at citizenship. The threat of deportation increased when the program named Secure Communities, which began in 2008 at the end of George W Bush administration, local law enforcement and federal agencies work together to identify undocumented immigrants or...

...Another consequence of rule imposing is that the requirements inadvertently exclude certain national origin groups: “For example, a minimum height requirement for certain jobs…may disproportionately screen out people of certain national origins…and would be against the law unless the employer could prove that it is related to the job and needed for the employer to operate safely or efficiently” (“Employment Rights of Immigrants Under Federal Anti-Discrimination Laws”). With these rules, employers are easily able to discriminate against immigrants. Even if an employer doesn’t refuse to hire an immigrant, they are still able to mistreat immigrant workers in other...

...National Healthcare and Immigration Roberto Macedo ITT Tech Mr. Berndt EN1320 Composition I Healthcare and Immigration What is healthcare? Healthcare is a service that is supposed to be provided to a country’s citizens that the U.S., for some reason, cannot get right (shocker!). Meanwhile, Canada has no problem handing medical care to its citizens for free, that’s right free. Why can’t the U.S. be as caring as Canada? On a side note I hope they take Bieber back. The people (the ones that aren’t fanatically crazy for him because of raging teenage hormones) of the U.S. do not want his presence here and no longer will we the people suffer from headaches due to his annoyance. No longer will important political or non-political events that are being streamed by news media (by which news stations consider “breaking news”) be interrupted. At this very moment my family and I have no medical insurance, thus resulting in $3000 of medical bills that I am not paying simply put “because I don’t feel like paying 3 grand for a f**king checkup that tells me my spouse has depression problems once every so often, it’s a given.” What I do know for sure is my son is eligible for Nevada Checkup; however, seeing that the online healthcare system that was supposed to make applying for medical insurance so easy for all of its U.S. citizens just happened to be in a few nice words “a piece of s**t!” My son (who is turning one this 24th of February) still has no insurance.
