...Essay on Immigration Law No Changes in the Immigration Law Essay: The problem of immigration is nowadays one of the most serious problems the contemporary American society is currently facing. Many specialists argue that the growing number of immigrants, especially illegal ones is dangerous for the future development of the national economy as well as for socio-political life of the whole country. In such a situation it is quite natural that American government is getting to be particularly concerned about the problem of immigration and initiated a legislative reform concerning immigration. The history of the US is a history of inflow of immigrants, embodied in Ellis Island, and the history of adverse reaction to the newcomers on the part of the current population. Many people in the United States think that the number of immigrants should be limited and the immigrations laws should be changed. In my opinion, immigration laws should not be changed since they work well for the country and people’s unsatisfaction with the laws comes from general hostility toward the immigrants. This view in particular, is embraced in the article by Richard Rodriguez “Trouble is, native-born just don’t measure up – anti-immigrant politic” that focuses on the role immigration has played in the development of the US and approaches that should be taken in treating this phenomenon at the moment. The current policy of the US basically target well-qualified specialists from other countries of the...

...Immigration Citizens Children The Effects of Immigration on Children and Families Introduction Illegal immigration is a very controversial issue within our society. There are families within our society that are made up of parents that are here illegally but have children who are born here and are citizens. But it is these citizens that are what I am referring to as the incomplete citizens. Who are these incomplete citizens and why are they being impacted by our society? Are there different stipulations for these children that are born to these undocumented families? Do they really receive the same rights as those born to U.S. citizens? Our societies including our politicians have different opinions about illegal immigration. Immigration reform negatively affects those children that are born to undocumented parents. They find themselves facing adversities that had the situation been different would never have to face. Working in an elementary school I have seen first hand how those children are affected as a result of their parent’s legal status. My purpose in this research is to show the emotional, educational, and financial effects that are inflicted on the undocumented families. This is a problem that is not going to be resolved overnight but rather this is a problem that is going to need help from the various disciplines. With this research more information will be found to present how children are affected through the different disciplines and how these disciplines...

...Immigration impact on food choice in Ireland In my essay on how immigration impacts food choice in Ireland, I will be discussing different advantages and disadvantages of immigration ant its impact on the country. However not only about the food choice, but also on how immigration reflected on eating habits of people living in Ireland as well as the differences between earlier ages when immigration was not a common thing and immigrants did not have a big influence in the country as in nowadays when immigration is spreading all over the world, especially after Europe Union has been created, now immigration has big influence on every aspect in the county, especially in food culture. “Food has many roles to play for consumers: it is functional (sustaining life); it plays a key role in our celebrations; it is a conduit for socializing; it is entertaining; it is sensuous and sensual; and it is a way of experiencing new cultures and countries”. (R. Michel & C. Hall, 2003, pg 60). In these days we hardly can imagine our life without different foreign cousins, like for example Chinese, Indian, French, Italian and etc... But we hardly ever think how and why we have such a big variety of food nowadays, and mainly it is because of immigration. As we all already know from media and newspapers that since Ireland became a member of Europe union back in 2002 immigration start growing really fast. For example according to the European magazine that already in 2005 it was estimated...

...Jamieson states “ …holding to their past…”(266). Jamieson presents a well-constructed argument by presenting the two points of view; from an American and a native speaker. Jamieson mentions, how Americans feel offended when hearing a native language assuming that if a person is moving to America, then it should learn the language and adjust to their culture. Yet, Americans are forgetting that one of their constitution laws encourages freedom of speech. Then why deprive a person from exercising their right? As Maryam Marquez introduces a new point of view as a native speaker herself she states: “ Being an American has very little to do with their language we use during our free time in a free country”(528). Although Jake Jamieson presents both views, it would be fair to say that both authors agree to the importance it is to keep and respect our culture. “ …Twenty-seven states…have made English their official language…official-English laws always seem to be linked to anti-immigration legislation, such as proposals to limit immigration or to restrict government benefits to immigrants”(Jamieson, 269). Jamieson’s argument suggests that this is not a native language problem but a cultural problem where immigrants are not wanted in America. The author Myriam Marquez in “Why and When We Speak Spanish in public,” also presents a similar point of view by stating: Throughout this nations history, most immigrants- whether from Poland or Finland or Italy or wherever else-kept...

...Kevin Oliveira Professor Madritch Expository Writing 30 November 2011 Leslie Marmon Silko: A Closer Look Into Racist Struggles The controversial dilemma of illegal immigration is a prominent part of politics today more than ever. Leslie Marmon Silko’s persuasive essay, “Fences Against Freedom,” exemplifies the constant battle on racism and immigration our nation faces today. Through her own experiences, she has concluded that the government evokes racism among the population in a negative manner. Silko’s essay explains that the government is a body that is not to be trusted and that their mischievous ways trickle down the ladder to us. She speaks for all persons with mixed ancestry on the point that their lives are daily struggles as a result of our nation’s leaders and their misperceived views on race. Racism is one of the leading social problems that Americans can associate themselves with because it is seen everywhere and it is spreading the wrong message. The ineffectiveness of Silko’s argument, that the government and media is to blame for the apparent racism in the country today, is exemplified through her constant contradiction of statements and child-like motives. Silko blames the government for their actions that have affected her life as well as many other people of different race. Leslie Marmon Silko grew up in Native American home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is well known for her English and writing skills and she was raised as a Laguna Pueblo...

...Analysis Essay ENG/215 1/26/2015 Jennifer Rainville | Immigration Control Introduction Illegal immigration is a big problem in the United States. If you ask around where you live you will get so many different views and arguments. Realistically immigration has resulted in the laws having more illegal immigrants live and work here in the United States. I have read three different articles on the pros and cons of illegal immigration. Immigration is becoming a normal thing in the United States and it shouldn’t be. Summary In the article “Let Us Give Thanks to Our Immigrants” by Rupert Murdoch, he shows some evidence to support his agreeing with illegal immigration. He shows support on how they have contributed to the education in America. Whereas in the articles “The Winners in Immigration: Public Prisons,” by Aubrey Pringle, and “Republican Views on Immigration,” by RepublicanViews.org shows support on why immigration is not good for the United States. Murdoch shows that many of the high paying jobs in the United States are held by immigrants or children of immigrants. Whereas Pringle and RepublicanViews.org shows that our government is suffering because of all the illegal immigrants in our country. Argument Murdoch is pro-immigration. He has provided evidence to show why he supports immigration. He also was an immigrant himself and all his family was from Scotland. He does state though that these days it’s hard to talk about the benefits of immigration after...

...Immigration Essay ‘Immigration has a significant impact on UK society’ Assess this view. (15 Marks) Immigration is the act of someone coming to live in a different country. To a certain extent immigration has had a significant impact on UK society, however some people may argue this view. In my opinion immigration has brought multiple benefits to our society; for example immigration has brought a variety of food, culture, attributable skills and diversity into the UK. In the 2 years after the 2001 census the number of people of Asian, Black or Chinese ethnicity in England increased by 370,000. 283,000 of this increase was attributable to international migration. This conveys that the majority of immigrants that have come to England have an impact on UK society. Immigration has brought a variety of different foods into the UK. This gives Britain an insight into other cultures and experiences. For example, without immigration the UK would be unaware of how and what Indian’s eat. Because of immigration Britain is now able to share the same experiences with them and are able to learn from their culture. Likewise, they are able to learn the British culture and what we eat. However, others may argue that the introduction of new foods from other cultures has resulted in the UK losing its ‘Englishness’ and traditional culture. For example, now the introduction of foods from different cultures has arisen, British food such as fish and chips may now be in less demand. In addition...

...Robert Leonard’s essay “Why Rural America Voted For Trump,” provides insight from a person who has liberal views about the rural-urban divide in the United States considering Donald Trump’s presidency. Many Americans have split views on what Trump will and will not do in office considering the social and economic issues. The concerns of unemployment, immigration, and the well-being of future citizens was discussed.

...Cynthia Arellano in her thesis essay is presenting a diverging view of Latino immigrant youth and the normal “at-risk” perception and she is challenging it through her research. She gained her information from interviews which goes into the specific individuals that deal with her issue of the “at-risk” immigrant Latino community. Her approach is on a personal basis, getting information from individual stories and dealing with their role and expanding them with interviews that dealt with their experience. Cynthia introduces her research of the immigration identify, expanding the roles and issues of perception, and delving into the personal basis. I enjoyed how she divided her work from different areas, like family culture, or extracurricular activities. Her division of topics presented different attributes that deal with immigration and Latinos “at-risk”....

...asking too much of fate! Still I will proudly declare that there is something queer about it. Else, why should it be let so cheaply? And why have stood so long untenanted? John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage. John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures. John is a physician, and perhaps—(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind)—perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster. You see, he does not believe I am sick! And what can one do? If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency—what is one to do? My brother is also a physician, and also of high...

...scale of it continuesto expand. However, as is often pointed out, international migration is a two-edged sword with dual effects.Nevertheless, the benefits of international migration are in excess of the economic costs. This essay will examine the brain drain and government spending on education problems for origin countries, meanwhile, unemployment problems, wage problems and social service spending for countries of immigration will also be included.(the essay’s structure) Brain drain for origin countries It is believed that international migration does harm to the human capital of origin countries, which is called brain drain.（this is the topic sentence, it is important. Becs readers can understand what you are going to talk about ）Research conducted by Indian households in 2004 shows that about 40% of emigrants have obtained at least a diploma of senior high school, the percentage of which is substantially higher than that of all Indians over the age of 25(TheEconomist,2011)(this is the example.it should be closely linked topic sentence) This suggests that rather than contributing to the human capital accumulation of their countries, a portion of well-educated nationals choose to emigrate, some of whom can be rated as the pillars of the society.(this is my comments, we should explain how the example closely link to our topic, it is quite important,we should add more in our report) Hence, on the...

...Police History Essay (Week One) Policing in today’s society is very different than what it was back in the 1800’s. In my reading of The Police in America, An Introduction, Seventh Edition Walker and Katz explain how the very first American police officer received no training, forms of communication, policy or procedure guidelines or weapons. Corruption and abuse of police authority ran rampant. This is vastly different than to today’s policing in America. American policing was born as a product from the English heritage and focused on three main features which helped create American policing as we know of it today. The three main features were high value on individual liberty and on governmental authority, tradition of local control of law enforcement agencies, and a highly decentralized and fragmented system of law enforcement. Sir Robert Peel is known as the “father” of modern day policing. To this day his work is still discussed and taught at all different law enforcement training academies around America. Sir Robert Peel sought to fix England’s broken and collapsed law enforcement system. He created three core elements which are still used in today’s policing to help aid in crime prevention. The three core elements were the mission, strategy, and organizational structure of the police. Most of these ideas were adopted from the military but tailored to meet the needs of law enforcement. Those elements were designed to work with a proactive police approach...
