Illegal immigration

I am writing in response to a request from The Shorthorn’s editor stating the opinions of publishing or not publishing Mae M. Ngai’s “Reforming Immigration for Good.” The author claims the government 's approach to protocols regarding control of present immigration are failed ideas. She inflicts emotion to the reader on why illegal immigration will not stop, by stressing the need to give more opportunities and to be “flexible and fair.” I consider the topic at hand appealing to the demographic…

Legal Immigration “People are seeing immigration as a negative. That’s a shame because if its done right, it’s a positive…” – Ron Woodward. In the 14th Amendment section 1 states that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside…” Taking away the rights of legal immigrant is against the U.S constitution. Legal immigration should not be decreased or eliminated, considering…

The rate of deportations is outrages. “The crusade against undocumented residents peaked under President Barack Obama, deportations reached a record 1.5 million people in his first term alone, averaging more than one thousand deportations per day”(Jobin-Leeds 86). Millions of families are being separated by the deportations. People do not really think about families being separated by…

president due to his immigration policy. After reading the book Just Like Us, by Helen Thorpe, Donald Trump is surely the wrong candidate. The immigration policy of Donald trump, is not a feasible and realistic policy. The policy will not move our nation forward in the quest to repair an increasingly conflict-ridden immigration system because his policy is racist, he plans to deport millions of people, and it is simply unrealistic. Donald Trump’s immigration plan is racist. The immigration…

how freedom in America is expressed by the Statue of Liberty; the mother of exiles will open her arms to those who have nowhere else to be truly free. The ways to balance the values of freedom expressed in the sonnet and immigration in our country are granting amnesty to illegal immigrants, allowing more wanting individuals to come to America, and not building a wall along the Mexican border.

There are also illegal immigrants who cross borders illegally to find a job and a better life. Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton…

thing you hear about in the media has been things about immigration. One perspective of immigration that’s been getting a lot of attention lately is the side that believes that we should have heavily restricted immigration and be working really hard to keep out illegal immigrants.
