The Illegal, The Bad, and The Ugly ENC 1101 Professor Robin Rodgers October 26th 2011 Do American citizens ever think about how they pay for stuff that they never actually get to use or see? Do they ever have thoughts about unconsciously paying for someone to stay in our country illegally? Most likely we Americans don't even stop to think about these sorts of things and yet over 113 billion dollars of our citizens hard earned money is paying for illegal immigrants to be in our country. Illegal immigrants are a threat to America's economy in many different aspects. Anyone has a chance of becoming a citizen but not everyone is willing to.
Illegal Immigration and their Impact on the United States Have you ever wondered why our cities are becoming smaller and smaller by the minute? No, they are not sinking into the ground, and no they are certainly not being shrunk by alien rays from flying objects. Only one other possible explanation can be drawn, illegal immigrants. They come to the United States in , as they say, hopes for a better future for their families. They take all of our and jobs and money and send it back to their families in their country of origin.
The article is also based on an observation by journalist Harriet Sergeant, who spent 1 year discussing with gang members and found out that those who lack a male figure in the family whilst growing up had more conflicts and chaos at home meaning that most of them were misled and not warned about consequences of any actions. This again links to explaining why the summer riots has occurred: the fact the main members who were part of the chaos were the ones who lacked being led by a father figure, helping them to grow up “to do better”, being told what is acceptable in society and what to avoid doing. This is why they are less aware of the consequences and the effects of their actions, leading them to be part of events such as the riots of 2011, causing harm to the
This flawed system has allowed American children to age out of the foster care system never knowing the comfort and support of a family. Families struggle with a system that seems broken and wonder, if adoption is so good why does it have to be so hard? California facilitator, Tina Johnson, placed twins with one family for $6,000, then later removed the children and placed them I custody of a British couple for $12,000. When couples hear of stories like these, and find out how much money they will spend and how little accountability they will receive in order to adopt in America, the idea of adoption abroad begins to sound like the best option. The more families that decide to adopt from countries such as China and Guatemala, the more children in America that are left without a chance of a permanent home.
The same case where an immigrant leaves their country for good intentions can have bad effect on their family back home. For example, when someone leaves home it can cause their family to lose income and suffer more as a result until the immigrant can either return or send remittances. That is the main negative result when someone immigrates to the US. For individuals in the US, when immigrants are seen either in school or at work, many believe that they are here illegally and are taking the jobs of American people. Even though this fact is true, in most cases, it is not true and the immigrant has earned the spot or position they are currently in.

Running head: A CHILDS RIGHTS pg 1 A Childs Rights Sherry Dixon DeVry University Professor Page 09/09/12 A CHILDS RIGHTS pg 2 A Childs Rights There are many children in our foster care system. For most of them, it isn't by choice. Many parents just can't handle the duties that come along with becoming parents. Because of this, the law steps in and decides what is right for the children. This is how we ended up with more than 408, 425 children in the foster care system as of September 2010 according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway.
This isn’t a topic that many would think as a potential vulnerable population, yet they are faced with many barriers on a daily basis. Illegal Mexican immigrants fit perfectly in what the meaning of what vulnerability is. They are susceptible of being in situation that can cause them harm physically, emotionally, and financially (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, n.d.). This is the risk they take while being in this country in order to provide a better life for their family in their home nation. In 2009, the number of undocumented immigrants living in this country was 11.1 million, and the majority of them (around 60%) were Mexicans (Cabrera & Arenaza, 2012).
The neighborhoods where blacks and Hispanics live are made up of families where both parents usually work at lower wages to make ends meet. The children who live in these neighborhoods do not have the same advantages as those students who live in the more expensive suburbs. They are forced to attend the neighborhood public schools. Their parents would never be able to afford private schools or live in the suburbs. In Jonathan Kozol’s essay, Still Separate, Still Unequal, he writes “One of the most disheartening experiences for those who grew up in the years when Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall were alive is to visit public schools today that bear their names or names of other honored leaders of the integration struggles that produced the temporary progress that took place in the three decades after Brown v the Board of Education and to find out how many of these schools are bastions of contemporary segregation” (Kozol 240).
