Immigration Issues

Introduction

The United States is a territory because of immigration. For years the government promoted immigration to the United States, and now that it is the strongest territory in the world, it isn't an issue anymore. In detail, now the government doesn't desire more people to migrate to the United States, even though political and social refugees are still seeking entrance into the homeland for various reasons. In countries like Mexico, government officials have complete command over what happens in their lives, whether they are right or incorrect doesn't matter (News Brief 1995). In some countries an ethnic assembly is singled out and killed just because of their ethnicity, no one is singled out in the United States. People are given the impression that no matter how awful their life is at home, it will prosper in the United States, people that are there understand that that isn't exactly true. Immigration over the years has slowly evolved into a problem, there are numerous reasons why immigrants desire to come here and there are also numerous effects on the United States because of them.

At any time, a policeman in Mexico can make a citizen give him money, or he will hurl them in prison (UOT 1999). Whether the citizen committed a crime or not doesn't matter, what the authorized says happened is what happened. The judicial system is in the hands of the officer's phrase (UOT 1999).

Genocide or "ethnic cleansing" is another foremost reason why so numerous immigrants are approaching to the United States. They aren't being killed for any reason other than their race. My ancestors came to the United States throughout the Armenian Genocide. My great grandmother's entire family was killed throughout a death stroll, encompassing her husband, three sons, all of her siblings, and her parents. She survived and made it to a vessel that conveyed her to America. She went through Ellis Island and became a citizen. People in Armenia didn't have the choice of staying home; they either had to leave or be killed. In Chiapas, Mexico the Zapatistas and other communities have been raided by Mexican armies. They have been forced out of their homes and they fled to the mountains. Many Zapatista's have claimed frequent incidences of rape, have been falsely accused, and have even been murdered. All of this happens to them because they are Zapatista's; not for breaking the regulation, ...
