United States is a nation of immigrants. Every year, millions of people enter the country and nearly one million people coming without authorization and overstay visas. The escalating number of undocumented immigrants comes into the country with the hope that their hard work and sacrifice will achieve a better life, yet they are breaking the law. Due to the influx flows of legal and illegal immigrants into the United States, it’s been the hot issue for every state that immigrants bring a huge impact to the nation and the lives of the Native American such as economic threats and jobs. The issue has been long debated enough, and people have demanded a change or a law, to crackdown for those responsible who disobeyed the law and allowing the unauthorized to stay and work in the country.
One is crossing the border illegally by land. Another way get into the US are by false identities or by stolen, or falsified passports. Another way is by illegal smuggling boats. “Others enter with legal documentation and then violate the terms on which they have been admitted by taking jobs that are not authorized or overstaying the authorized period of stay in the country” (Illegal Immigration) A bad side to having such a large amount of illegal immigrants in the nation is the crime rate and prison population caused by certain “illegals”. “Illegal immigration is a major cause in the overcrowding of our schools and our prisons.” (Bender, David) Michael Huffington, a former member of the US House of Reps. For California says that, “Many illegal immigrants come for two purposes that are both destructive and expensive: to commit crimes or to receive government benefits.” (Huffington, 63) “For instance, the 18th Street gang in Southern California is one of the nation’s most violent street gangs with a staggering 20,000 members.
This refers to a risk that is seen as being global as insecurities and fears, whether they are rational or not, are no longer tied to a certain place. For example, immigration has created a moral panic as countries are beginning to clamp down on their border controls and introduce new immigration laws to reduce the number of illegal immigrants that are entering. It can be seen that globalisation is linked to an increase in green crime. Threats to
What is illegal immigration you ask? Well it is when an unauthorized or undocumented alien from another country crosses the national border in a way that violates the immigration laws of this country. In today’s world we are faced with the problems of illegal immigration, what we don’t know is that this actually cost us money. As of today we have eleven million illegal aliens in our United States, some of these 6,640,000 are from just Mexico alone. Mexico is one of our big illegal immigration problems we are faced with.
This caused the people to flock to America and seek new job opportunities. Another reason was over-population in the cities. The overcrowding of tens and thousands of people in one town in filthy conditions caused a book of problems. The bubonic plague was one, which brought one example of many economic declines, in the production of food and imports and widespread of malnutrition. Other problems included higher prices, lower purchasing power, and years of poor harvest.
At the time Brave new world was authored there were substantial issues worldwide. The economic depression in capitalist societies, fascism emerging in Europe and the high rate of unemployment meant people longed for the kind of security that Huxley provided the citizens of his fictional world. This affected Huxley, his writing and ultimately his vision of the future which inevitably seeped into Brave new world. He exaggerates all the present worrying trends of his time so that they produce awful consequences. The movement towards socialism in the 1920’s for example becomes the totalitarian state, the growth in materialism transforms into a form of religion- where humans are mass produced and henry ford is god- and depicts the end of the traditional and familiar life which becomes a strange and sterile modern state.
Westward expansion brought about negative change in America. From economic troubles to harsh stereotypes, expansion has brought more harm than good. Expansion began with the unfair treatment of Native Americans in the 1800s, and lead to economic hardships such as the contamination of groundwater as a result of hydraulic fracturing. Westward Expansion affected the Native Americans’ freedom, safety, and their economy. This is important because although new settlers were gifted with new land and resources, Westward Expansion resulted in controversial disagreements and even more hardships.
Introduction The immigration of people into the United States has affected the country socially, politically and economically. In the U.S., whose population is made up mainly of immigrants and their offspring, immigration has recently become a hot button issue because of the increasing number of immigrants coming into the U.S., many of them illegally. One of the biggest critiques that opponents of immigration use to back their opinion is the view that immigrants cause unemployment and lower wages for the natives. There are economists and sociologists that agree and disagree with this comment. This paper will look at what some researchers have found and will try to figure out the effect that immigration has had on the living standard of U.S. workers.
They have to face with many challenges here. For example, they have to work hard, but get less money. They also have to work jobs that dirty, physically because they do not have legal document. They do not have human rights. 3,Reactions and response to the movie The movie “ Uprooted: Refugees of the global economy” gave me a clear picture about immigrants from the Philippines, Bolivia, and Haiti who, as victims of globalization, unhappily left their country for the U.S.
It seems that in the modern age of globalization, a time of uncertainty and instability in terms of jobs, homes, and traditional social structures, people often feel a loss of self-identity and belonging. Thus, people are drawn to images and ideas that encourage a collective identity, a nationalism that offers a sense of security and stability. Yet the media often uses this feeling of insecurity to its advantage by demonizing outsiders and glorifying national symbols. The world today is an unpredictable place. Skyscrapers come crashing down within hours; dot-com millionaires go broke over night; levis break and flood entire cities; domestic laborers lose jobs to workers in third world countries.
