Immigration law

On behalf of the Immigration and Citizenship Society of Canada, it is suffice to say that the Canadian government through the bills of C-51 and C-24 are ruining the prestigious reputation of Canada as a country who welcomes and takes care of refugees. Our target is the people of the government, and the use of boundary making due to these laws is wrong. Everyone deserves a change at life in Canada, and these legislations do the opposite of that. These bills need to either be revoked or…

new lives and face many obstacles, such as social prejudice and poverty. Both immigrants today and in the past have to face discrimination and inequality no matter what race or gender. Manifested in the past, in literature, and in the present, immigration was and still is prevalent in society today. The Dust Bowl, prejudice against migrants in John Steinbeck’s American classic novel, The Grapes of Wrath, and efforts to deport immigrants made by Donald Trump truly capture some of the…

Staying Is Not Better Imagine yourself being all alone, in a different country, with different costumes. Your family is either dead or half way across the world. You are on your own, you are a refugee. Many children are going through this right now. They are on their own trying to make a different life for themselves. Refugees moving to different counties is an ever changing problem. The stress put on the kids is too much and may cause mental health problems (“Mental Health...”). When…

were) are never truly seen as British. Their ‘home’ is always thought of to be whatever land their skin tone hails from. Powell sees immigrants as an “alien element,” having no right to be here, fit only for re-immigration. And even many immigrants themselves support these strict immigration laws. Why does living among people different from themselves make white britons “strangers in their own country?” To “become more English [is to become] even more…

Immigration Reform can go either way, by helping immigrants and asylum seekers or placing further restrictions on their lives by ever more punitive laws. One part of the act would make it more difficult for those fleeing persecution to find asylum here. Bishop Gerald Barnes of San Bernardino, CA chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop’s Committee on Migration wrote on April 25 to the House and Senate conferees on the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, emphasizing that the Real ID…

Hand in Hand A wise African proverb states, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” (“African” 1). This philosophical quotation encompasses an important message on how to address one of the world’s most prevalent and devastating problems: the Syrian Refugee Crisis. As millions of Syrians are displaced by the Syrian Civil War, they attempt to seek refuge in surrounding foreign nations. So far, the countries of the world have only addressed the crisis by deciding the…

education for the children because they are not given a place for safety resettlement. In the news, we only see that these people are suffering because of death and separation, but they almost do not mention anything about how they can improve the immigration and resettlement process in order for Syrian refugees to receive aid and refugee resettlements status in other countries. Syrian’s are not only at risk in their home country, they are also at risk in other countries where they would want…

among the population. Granted, the inequality may not be as extreme or easy to see at times, but no one can deny that it still exists. For example, the wage gap between genders, discrimination against people of color, and the defensive stances on immigration – which are still as relevant now as they were then. The industrial age significantly affected the norms of the typical American household in the 1800s. Since the machines were taking over jobs mainly completed by men at home, the burden to…

could potentially infringe on the social fabric of Germany by trying to introduce Sharia law and Islamic customs upon the German people. The sentiments felt by PEGIDA are also shared by other political movements in France. The National Front, a French right-wing political party, has steadily been increasing in popularity over the past decade. Like PEGIDA, The National Front has been taking a stance against immigration and their respective rise in popularity indicates a general increase in…

well as the opposing rebel groups and allies, masses of displaced civilians have simultaneously flooded into Europe and surrounding Middle Eastern countries. Through this memorandum, I will look at the theoretical underpinnings of refugees and immigration policy and the current U.S. Policy on Syrian refugees. The policy that should be undertaken is an increase in the Syrian admission quota and humanitarian aid. Refugee Crisis Context According to the BBC, in early 2011, unrest arose in Syria…
