...seen big waves of human immigration between different regions of our planet. This phenomenon is one of the more characteristic of human behavior in the search of welfare for the families and his descending also. Today our country is 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...

...Hispanic Immigrants and Politics Ulyses Rivera 02/13/2015 Hispanic Immigrants and Politics Why does our government treat Hispanic immigrants like if they were individuals who don’t deserve to be part of the American society? We are all make of the same flesh and genetic material and everybody deserve to be treated with respect. The unique differences of each human being are what separate us from each other. Every single person plays an important role in our society. The wellbeing of the Hispanic immigrants in the United States is in the hands of our two political party’s Republicans and Democrats who can’t agree on anything because they think these people don’t deserve to be treated as human beings. Jackie Calmes, wrote an article in the New York Times on November of 2014 about Hispanic Immigrants and our politics. The Republican Party was represented by Mitt Romney argued that Latinos who are here illegally needed to go back to their native countries. His argument was that they broke the laws and they don’t deserve to stay in the United States taking advantage of the American system and not contributing to the American economy. The President Barack Obama was proposing an amnesty to solve the illegal immigration problem in the U.S. The proposal did not go very far because the Republican Party voted against it. Mo Brooks, a Republican of Alabama failed proposal to extend citizenship to “so-called Dreamers – Latinos who were brought into the United Stated illegally...

...Welcoming the new immigrants? Leonel Camacho Regent University Professor Baugus Welcoming the new immigrants? Throughout American history, immigration has become a part of our nation’s dilemma which, began hundreds of years ago. It has become a daily argument in the US in recent years with illegal immigrants as the main focus. Illegal immigration is described as people entering a Country without the government permission. According to Preston Julia from the New York Times, in 2008, the Center for Immigration Studies conducted a study and concluded, there are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States. Nations such as the United States, Canada, and Australia will always attract people that are in search for prosperity. Since the Twin Towers incident, many people in the United States are scared and have second thoughts of allowing immigrants to cross our borders. Therefore, some people think that immigration is a threat not just to U.S. security but also to our economy. A lot of individuals want the government to stop illegal immigration; but would it not affect the United States more to do so? As illegal immigration increases dramatically as the years go by, so has a concern about its effect on taxpayers. While other consequences are clearly significant, the financial impact of illegal immigration is at center stage of the ongoing debate. Amazingly, few studies have tried to calculate the net economic impact of illegal immigration in the United States...

...Gray Area Immigration has been an ongoing topic in the United States for a number of years. Back in the day, immigrants were coming from all over the world and nothing could really be done about it. Specifically, in 1907 there was an informal arrangement agreed upon between the United States and Japan. The “Gentleman’s Agreement” as it was called stated that Japan would stop immigration into the states especially California where a segregation issue began with the Chinese, Japanese and Korean children. Even though the agreement was informal, it fixed the issue for the time being. In today’s society we are not only dealing with mass illegal immigration but also adding in the potential of violent gang members in the mix, makes it a little more complicated. Issue number 7 in Taking Sides: Clashing views on Latin American Issues, sets up each side of the spectrum with valid and convincing points. The question asked, should illegal immigrant gang members be grated legal clemency from U.S. law, and is a tough one to answer. At first, one would say no because they are committing a crime because they are illegally in the U.S. and on top of that they are bringing in gang related violence into the mix. As an overview Greg Campbell’s article, “Death by Deportation” spoke about the story of Edgar Chocoy. Chocoy lived a troubled childhood and ultimately joined, what came to become an infamous gang, the Mara Salvatrucha controlled his life the second he made eye contact with an existing...

...significant diversity as it relates to the issues of migration in the United States. These issues vary from state to state. However International /global migration posed the most issues in this country. These issues have affected the United States for many years. James Rubenstein notes that “unrestricted immigration to the United States ended when congress passed the Quota Act in 1921 and the National Origins Act in 1924. However over the years different issues arose on this topic; some of which are job threatening, deportation, population overgrowth, devaluing of property, and increased crime rate. Legal as well as illegal immigrants encounter problems to some extent. The questions of who belongs? Who stays? And who goes? Are often widely debated topics by citizens of the United States? It has also been a focal topic in presidential debates. Others made reference to the DREAM Act by claiming that the political parties fail to address the heart of the immigration problem. Immigration has impacted the United States socially, economically, and politically. Like Global migration, interregional migration also creates issues, in the United States. Introduction The topic of immigration can be broken down into many different categories, to deal with different aspects that affect people. Many Americans are of the opinion that America is for Americans and immigrants are not welcome. History teaches us that the Indians were the first set of people to live on this wonderful land. This means...

Body Paragraph #1: * Topic Sentence: Perhaps one of the most critical reasons why Canada’s national identity has struggled to develop is due the considerable amount of tension between the two founding cultures of the country. * Throughout the history of Canada, the English and the French have faced off in a conflict against one another. * This relationship dates back to the start of the French-Indian War * Even though France had to hand over Canada to the British, most...

...accomplishments, some though may look at Bruce and think nothing of him because of his ethnicity or background. Many people are descriminated against because of their race. This is because many people are still bound by tradition; when the elder generatoin of people says “no” to something, then these other people will strongly disaprove of it as well. If the elders say that something is wrong, then they also believe that is is wrong. They seldom use their mind to find out the truth and seldom express sincerely their real feeling. The simple truth is that these opinion on such thing as racism are traditions, which are nothing more than a “formula” laid down by these elder people's experience. As we progress together and time changes, is is necessary to reform this formula. We must all look at it this wasy no matter if your color is black or white, red, or blue, we can still make friends each other without any barrier. I personally believe that Bruce Lee brought they barrier down for many Asian Americans. In one of Bruce Lee's films Fist of Fury, Lee was simply just going to walk into a park but the man at the gate said he couldn't. The man then point to a sign above their heads which read “'No Dogs And Chinese Allowed.' Lee then fights off a couple of guys then he ultimately ends up kicking to sing in half. Though this was a movie the message it is coveying is very really. The message behind this scene was regarding one race as 'inferior' to another is stupid. Which I could not...

...FINAL ESSAY - US HISTORY COURSE (2013) Topic: Write an essay discussing the problems created by the Great Depression and actions taken by the federal government to solve these problems The Great Depression was the period of worldwide economic depression which happened from 1929 to about 1941. Although it was a global event, the United States was the country attracting the most attention of people all around the world, which resulted in its great influence to the global economy. Some people said that the Great Depression created problems which weakened the U.S, while others argued that thanks to it, the nation had opportunity to fix itself and experienced a following long prosperous period. My essay will discuss the problems caused by the Great Depression and actions taken by the Federal government and the President to solve these problems. After years by years of optimism, development and prosperity, it was on Tuesday, October 29th,1929 , called “Black Tuesday” when the U.S officially faced the despair of the Great Depression with the Crash of the Stock Market. Though the Falling of the Stock Market was not the only cause of the Great Depression, it was the starting point of a decade of high unemployment, poverty, low profits, deflation, plunging farm incomes, and lost opportunities for economic growth and personal advancement. The main effect was a sudden and loss of confidence in the economic future. What were the problems created by...
