It is a step that has to be taken, for skipping it creates a new identity different enough from the original culture to label someone as foreign, but not changed to the extent that they are considered assimilated. Mukherjee calls this as “a great disservice” because immigrants don’t belong to one culture or the other, but are isolated in a hybrid culture, hamstrung by the inability to read, write, or speak the common language. Imagine an immigrant driving through a city in a foreign country, getting lost because they can’t read the street signs, and not being able to remedy the situation by stopping to ask for directions because they don’t speak the same language. This is the plight of the immigrant that doesn’t assimilate, in which everyday tasks that citizens of a country take for granted morph into impossible endeavors, daunting and unassailable mountains. Every street sign is an obstacle, every neighbor is out of the reach of dialogue, one is alone in a foreign land.
He doesn’t make a blunt judgment. By observing, he brings new eyes to a complex matter, enabling an awareness of the differences encountered when traveling. When we, the travelers, observe from “behind glass,” as Manseau points out, we should become aware that in judging a culture or religion different from our own, there is a fine line of which we should be cautious. Tourists and travelers are indeed “insulated” by the fact that they are a foreign group setting foot on virtually unknown soil: there is “no need to meet or interact with anyone who lives among the sites we see” (4). It takes an intrepid traveler like Manseau to escape this insulation, to see through the glass by talking to these people and trying to understand a faith and culture different from his
An asylum seeker is a person who has fled their country but is not accepted yet as refugee. Whereas, a refugee is a person who is outside his or her country of origin or habitual residence because they fear persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, because they are a member of a persecuted 'social group' or fleeing a war. Such a person may be called an 'asylum seeker' until recognized by the state where they make a claim. The decision whether a person is a refugee or not is most often left to certain government agencies within the host country. This can lead to a situation where the country will see an asylum seeker neither as refugee nor as legitimate migrant.
The fourth amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, unless probable clause can be provided. The Arizona Immigration Law says that law enforcement officers only need a reasonable suspicion of a person to be an undocumented immigrant. Citizens of America (legal immigrants), are subjected to embarrassing and uneccassary searches if considered to “look” like an undocumented immigrant and may have some properties taken away from them since it may look like a threat to the government. The 14th Amendment prohibits state and local governments from depriving persons (individual and corporate) of life, liberty, or property based on race, ethnicity, or gender. This law should not have been passed in the first place, since it violates citizen’s right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
From massive borders to disobedient citizens, the United States government is unable to enforce their own policies of immigration. With the inability to enforce the law, the United States and its citizens endure several negative effects of illegal immigration. One of the most significant problems caused by illegal immigration is the issue of national security. As previously established, the United States has borders that stretch over thousands of miles and lacks the capacity to fully observe and protect every corner of its territory. As a result of this, thousands of illegal immigrants cross the American border virtually undetected.

Society had thrown out Oakhurst, Duchess and Mother Shipton for them being themselves; by living their successes they were condemned. The lovers left society because they knew their union wouldn’t be accepted. This is an example in literature about how the society in real life didn’t accept people who were living out their lives on their terms and not according to any unspoken rules that were expected to follow. Though all of the outcasts were looked down upon and their lives were cut short by the storm that forced premature death they had been living the new American success by being themselves and not letting society dictate their every decision. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain show both how society still tries to shape individuals and how Huck lives his own success.
In conclusion, people should express their own personality and style without, being forced to convert to a new country’s national culture. Forcing an immigrant to change culture, language, and religion is against the 1st amendment and should not be broken based on our founding father’s laws. Forcing a non-resident to adapt to a new country is morally wrong and should not be allowed. Being an immigrant, this will be extremely hard on being unique. Even if someone is less fortunate and was born in a third world country, it doesn't make it any better if you force them to learn your culture and
