Persuasive Essay On Illegal Immigration

The irony of such circumstance is that the migrants are there because they were trying to escape from the turmoil of their previous homes. They came for a new start, but found themselves only to be trapped again in a political game of social divisions. The man committed the illegal act for a moment of victory and freedom. An act of resistance is a moment of freedom.

Yes. I agree with the law that individuals living in the US should be documented but deportation does not make America a safe place. All illegal immigrants are not terrorist or criminals. A lot of people that want to come to the United States are really hard working and have really solid character. This nation has a long tradition of immigrants arriving to build a better life here. At different times this country will need different levels of immigration, but we will always need new immigrants. People on one side of a border are not more “valuable” than people on another side of a border. There is a reason why our founding fathers believed that “all men are created equal”. In every nation on earth there are really wonderful people.

In this film, we see how illegal immigrants are discriminated against and are unable to lead a life of privilege. In Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire he talks about how “the oppressors do not perceive their monopoly on having more as a privilege which dehumanizes others and themselves…. The oppressed are regarded as potential enemies who must be watched” (Freire, 2000, 59). We see how people view illegal immigrants as people who are unjust and do not contribute to the society. People in the United States discriminate against illegal

Those who enter the country legally and with pure intentions do not bother me; and, in fact I welcome them. However, those that enter the country illegally with impure intentions and involve themselves in criminal activity are truly the problem. With the story of Alma, Arturo, and Maribel still in mind, it is inspiring to know the lengths of what loving parents will do for their child, even if it means leaving their home and traveling to another country on a work visa. Although I understand that work visas provide legality to those immigrants during the work periods, I do not believe that they should be given the same rights as natural born citizens without following the proper steps to become a legalized citizen of the United

The first video talks about how the kids come to the United States at a young age. It also talks about how this is the only country that they know. It talks about how they didn’t decide to come to this country. The video also talks about the deportation of this immigrants after they find out when they are older. It talks about giving them a chance (Carey, 2012).

The video, shown in class, was meant to investigate and understand both sides of the immigration argument. A legal, self-border patrolling US citizen was forced to live 30 days with a family of illegal immigrants. The man was strong in his beliefs that all illegal immigrants should be rounded up and sent back to their countries of origin. The family he was forced to live with supported the idea that illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay, and even gain some legal citizenship. This video helped spark the debate, which immigration stance is better for America?

On the one hand, the student from the first video argues that undocumented immigrants should give them path to be part in American society.

Everything said in this video has a direct effect on the people in the United States 101%, what does article talked about was help crime rate has gone down along with violent crimes has gone down all while immigration numbers have inclined. quite frankly all these topics coming together should affect every person in the United States some way and somehow. with crime rate dropping it's offering a safer environment for people to commute and to socialize in their communities. it's also nice to know that violent crimes were down 50% in the last 20 years which is showing signs of improvement and maybe one day we could get that number so low that you rarely hear about them. we have the United States are a Melting Pot which is a hundred percent certain but we do have our problems and to know that our crime is being fixed and illegal immigration isn't affecting that is an amazing sign. me personally as an individual it also impacted. I found it interesting to know that many undocumented immigrants are uneducated past high school and 49% do not own their high school diploma.The video then went on to explain how undocumented immigrants are taking up jobs that do not require a high school diploma say construction or farming. now if I owned a business I would probably hire undocumented immigrants 2. Well, I know that is illegal but it seems to be the more economic move and more cost efficient route at the same time. Immigrants come in this country and they accept lower wages and accept more drooling work while people there from this country tend to not like that work because they feel they are above it. so anyway illegal immigrants serve a vital role in our economy. but I cannot just say this for the 21st century, this is been happening way back into the late eighteen hundreds with the Irish and Italians doing the exact

Even though 800,000 is a minuscule number compared to the millions of people living in the United States, none of these people deserve to be deported. Their entire lives are here, including family, friends, significant others, jobs, schools, etc. Imagine working towards a life you’ve always dreamed about, only to have it taken away. The children who were brought here illegally deserve a chance.The protest was truly an interesting experience since it was the first protest I’ve ever been to.

This article stuck out to me to hear & see the statistics and charts. This is sad that many of these people came here with the intentions to have a better life, and have to get

My main takeaway from the film “The Least of These” is that the immigrant victims, many of which are fleeing direct harm, are treated as criminals by those in power, perpetuating a narrative of the villain immigrant, out to take over our beloved country. This relates to our course tremendously because, like this last video, it brings humanity back to the immigrants by giving names, faces, and stories. Not only does it go over some key flaws in our immigration system, but it provides real examples of those affected by these flaws. “The Least of These” shed light on the inhumane treatment and detainment of immigrants seeking refuge in the United States. In addition, this video entails examples of what I believe to be the two most important concepts

As stated by premise two, undocumented people do come here illegally, but this does not automatically mean that they should be deported. Most people who immigrate here illegally, are only doing so because it is so difficult and takes so long to do so legally. The majority of them seek only to have better lives and create more opportunities for their families than they had. For example, one of my coworkers’ parents immigrated here illegally before he was born. I’ve talked with him multiple times about the topic of illegal immigration and he has always emphasized to me how grateful he is to his parents for coming here because if they had not, he would not have any of the opportunities he has now of going to college, and making a career as an engineer. Because they came here, even though it was illegal, he and his siblings have the chance to live better lives than their parents had, and give better lives to their own children than they would have had in Mexico. So, just because someone came here illegally, doesn’t mean they did so with bad intentions and doesn’t mean they deserve to be deported.

Illegal immigration is a touchy be counted that needs sizeable attention or discussion according to deep nations especially those so are economically stable. Immigration is an object about shifting to some other u. s. a. where certain was once not a prior burgher with the aid of beginning then the usage of up to expectation u. s. a. as like a place of everlasting dwelling. There are half motives as approve and condemn unlawful immigration who I wish recreation after talking about below.

Illegal immigration can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. Millions of illegal immigrants have come across the Mexico border in recent years. Even though these people aren’t documented, majority are good law-abiding people that help the economy with production and putting more money into the economy. The problem is that the Government doesn’t know who these people are and can be enemies of the United States. But it isn’t just Mexican immigrants traveling through the deserts of Mexico to reach America. Here is a story of a fourteen year old girl named Josseline Quinteros. Her mother was an undocumented immigrant working in Los Angeles and over the years she saved up enough money to pay a “coyote” ( smuggler guide), to bring Josseline and her 10 year old brother up from El Salvador through Mexico into Arizona then out to L.A in 2008. After the group she was with crossed the border into southern Arizona they began travelling through the Tumacacori wilderness where Josseline fell ill. She told her younger brother to keep on going to find mom, the coyote decided to leave her in the desert and the group moved on. The young boy went on to find their mother, but Josseline was later discovered deceased. She was one of 183 migrants that died in southern Arizona in 2008. This Government funded program named Program Safety Net will help single mothers and their children crossing the Mexican border.

Illegal immigration has our nation divided between those who believe undocumented immigrants are leading to the corruption of America, and those who believe they deserve a chance at a better life and should be able to stay. Many argue that illegal immigration brings in criminals, ruins the economy, and takes jobs from Americans. But the biggest issue with illegal immigration is the safety of our nation, and not knowing who exactly is entering our country. And I believe that in order to secure our nation, we need to initiate a guest worker program, set firm punishments if not followed, and also remember that these are families seeking a better life, not gangsters or thugs.
