When he was asked whether he would favor the prohibition of the bilingual ballot, he simply stated, “Of course not.” Wills’ continues in the next section stating that our national identity and our federal laws are being weakened by immigration that is influenced by these bilingual ballots. He also uses this anecdote in the fourth section by showing how our laws are weakening. That these illegal immigrants are able to ask for bilingual ballots because the law is weakening and they are able to immigrate into the country in illegal ways without knowing how to speak English or know anything about our politics. Although the chief rhetorical aim of the article appears to be to inform Americans rather than persuade them as to why the bilingual ballot should be prohibited, why is Will not taking up a more serious tone if he felt so strongly about the
The Geneva Convention on Refugees forbids the return of refugees to their homeland if they have a "well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion." This universal treaty was written in response to the experience of Jewish refugees who had been forced back into Hitler's hands when other nations refused to grant them asylum. Many human rights groups attacked the American refusal to accept Haitian refugees even after the fall of Aristide. Citing numerous murders of deported Haitians, violations of Haitians civil rights, and imprisonment and harassment upon deportation, these groups tried to change the status of the Haitian refugees to political refugees. Human rights groups stated that the United States was in violation of the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, and President Bush was found to be in violation of the Refugee Act of 1980.

Professor Bailey Written Composition October 24, 2012 Illegal Immigrants Help More than they Hurt Going back in history you probably can recall that America was founded by illegal immigrants. Without them who know if we would even be. So why are we so hard on the illegal immigrants now? They made a change once who’s to say they can’t and won’t do it again but things can only happen by opportunity and availability. We have the availability we just need to give them the opportunity.
This time U.S. hoped to produce long-term stability. However, both outcomes remain obscure, and Haitian citizen is still struggling with poverty and unstable government filled with political corruption. Obviously U.S. interventions in Haiti have failure outcomes, and international relation scholars have always debating on whether or not the humanitarian intervention should take place in Haiti. This paper is on the opposite side of Haiti intervention, and I want to argue that Haitians did not want foreign intervention; Americans were in Haiti because they wanted to be there, not because they had been invited, and they remained there only by military force. I try to argue against the intervention on the following aspect: both intervention tries to teach democracy with undemocratic means, in other words the interventions are based self-interests of nations, especially U.S.’s, not the interest of Haiti citizen.
However, the recent Supreme Court decision in Shelby County vs. Holder has deemed Section 5 unconstitutional. Through research, it is seen that citizens endure the costs of voting to reap the benefits. However, it can be argued that voter identification laws have the potential to suppress turnout. In contrast, it can also be argued that there are ways around the laws, and the laws have little to no overall effect on turnout. In order to understand the recent trends in voter identification laws, we must first look back at the civil rights movement in the South.
Should euthanasia be allowed? Euthanasia is a way to relieve ill people’s pain and save them from a terrible illness. Most people choose to do euthanasia because they are terminal patients, and there is no hope to live. Now I will tell you a real story. Ewart was an American who had gotten a disease that causes his organs to shrink for a long time.
And although Savant makes a persuasive argument, he fails to tell both sides of illegal immigration. Both the good and bad. In his article “Imagining the Immigrant” writer John J. Savant give his opinion on the topic of immigration. Savant starts by giving examples of detectives and therapist, and how they must put themselves into other people’s shoes; metaphorically speaking, and use their imagination to fully understand a situation. “Imagination… can lead to moral clarification.”(1) Savant believes that we must try to imagine why an illegal immigrant chooses to come illegally before we make a judgment call.
Irene Omwega Anth 1003 Steve Kensinger 11/15/2011 Society’s influence of structural transformations In this paper I will show how Bourgois’ informants were victims of structural transformations. As we all know society puts in us standards to strive forward while offering limited set of accepted means through which each individual can be able to reach these standards, which compels or forces certain groups of people to turn to deviant behavior in order to achieve their goals. We can see this in In search of respect with the Puerto Ricans who migrated to the United States. They have no access to blue-collar jobs because no one is willing to hire them due to the fact that they are new, can’t read or write, have no job experience and they haven’t graduated from High School and therefore are forced to turn to illegal underground economy. Since I will be writing about structural transformations, structural transformations are transfer resources from a few sectors to others in a society which is facilitated through its objective or policies.
