Immigrants face a great deal of hardship on coming to America. Many of these immigrants were on uneducated and fell into the trap of Robber Barons. During the Great Migration (1880-1921) about 56% of the immigrants migrated to the United States not knowing what to expect. Therefore, when coming to America many of the defenseless immigrants had to pay a price. “The shipping industry guarantee good profit, but they had to send their children which caused their family to be separated, this was because these immigrants did not have enough money to have them and their children going together” ( Morgan Prezi).

As fear is the defining emotion experienced by migrants, it motivates them to move faster and steadier while their survival mode is activated. In certain situations, nonetheless, fear might be a terrible sensation, such as encountering someone powerful enough to bring them back to Acapulco and prevent their journey to the United States. Although they pretend they are not migrants and are simply on holiday, “they can all taste their hearts in their throats" (Cummins 217). As a result of the adrenaline and fear, the author depicts their feelings using kinesthetic imagery as an illustration of how frightening and nerve-racking the situation is. As such, the author depicts that migrants simply want to find a home and be at ease in the United States, despite the reality that they are doing so illegally.

They shoot his brother in the face. Both die" (Nazario, chapter 1). These shared factors behind migration show the desperation of migrants who seek a better

In the book “Migra! A History of the U.S Border Patrol, author Kelly Lytle Hernandez describes the history of the U.S border patrol from the 1920s to the end of the twentieth century. Specifically, Hernandez writes about how the border patrol has changed its target or “suspect” from Chinese and European immigrants to Mexican people. In her book and through research of unexamined old material in the U.S and Mexico, Hernandez examines how Mexicans emerged as the United States “iconic illegal aliens” (Hernandez Pg. 2). In this paper I will examine Hernandez discussion of long term effects of border patrol discourses and practices in creating a prototypical suspect as well as compare her argument with that of Samual P. Huntington in his

“The Migrant Crisis” shows us how these people used many survival traits to get out of unfamiliar and

Pathos and Ethos Ever since the terror attack that occurred on September 11, 2001, United States of America put a major stop on these refugees flying from their home countries and taking refuge in the United States. United States, ever since the incident that struck our American hearts with sadness then turned into anger, the distraught Americans declared “war on terror”. This war made any refugee coming from these wars torn countries to apply to be able to come into the country and made the process lengthy to get pass the Homeland Security. Donald Trump, our president, a successful businessman, and television personality, has come out as an advocate of rejecting all these refugees until the “war on terror” is over. This reform, proposed by

The Syrian refugee crisis (caused by an ongoing civil war and Islamic terrorist group ISIS) has become a controversial topic in America during the last few weeks as most do not want 10,000 Syrians immigrating into the country. Making up most of the refugees are women and children, who want nothing more than to live in a country where war is not around every corner and where they can be safe. The Statue of Liberty has become a national symbol of freedom and immigration. At the base of the statue is a poem written by Emma Lazarus in which she writes “... the wretched refuse of the your teeming shore. Send these,

Life in Mexico can be very harsh, many people outside of Mexico believe life in the country isn’t as bad as it seems. Over the years the country has changed but still face many problems. The Mexican drug war is still a highly supplied conflict between the Mexican army and drug cartels in Mexico. The country has been one of the main suppliers of illegal drugs that causes discrimination, drug trafficking and many deaths yearly. The question is, how has life in Mexico changed before and after the war on drugs?

America’s Diverse Population In the nineteenth century, rates of immigration across the world increased. Within thirty years, over eleven million immigrants came to the United States. There were new types of people migrating than what the United States were used to seeing as well. Which made people from different backgrounds and of different race work and live in tight spaces together; causing them to be unified.

And as a result, the country has experienced increased cases of trafficking and exploitations following the immigrants smuggling individuals to it. We are aware of the fact that the big concern of Americans has been their security, and increasing number of illegal immigrants seems to threaten their state of safety and hence the outrage among the people and the

The New Colossus is about the brazen giant of greek fame whom glows the world with her torch. People like to call her mother of exiles, she stands for freedom. She welcomes immigrants from all of the world to come to america. She is there to make all immigrant be welcome and have freedom. This passage expresses the american dream because its talking about having freedom and being friendly and welcoming to any immigrant who comes.

There have been many causes due to the United States of America and Mexico border disputes. These include its extensive history through sources such as the several past wars and the countless disputes between residents. With the strong issue of territorial claims that contradict each other, treaties have been seen as useless with an even more inadequate attempt of fence construction as seen in Image 1. With many bandits and thieves in this area, drug trafficking and illegal immigration is an impending dilemma.

Throughout history, humans have always been afraid of anything and anyone unlike their culture. Even in the twenty-first century, there is heated debate surrounding illegal immigration in America; some believe that illegal immigrants from Mexico are stealing jobs and harming the economy. These irrational fears are discussed in Luis Alberto Urrea’s book, “The Devil’s Highway,” which tells the true story of 26 illegal immigrants who are abandoned after crossing the U.S. border. Through this true story, Urrea shows the mistreatment of illegal immigrants, and his use of historical examples reveals that immigrants have always been subject to prejudice and persecution in the United States.

All of these immigrants believe in the American dream. There is more freedom, hope, protection, benefits and many more. Lazarus represents hope to the hopeless. Liberty appeared as the “Mother of Exiles” represents the acceptance of immigrants who no longer welcome in their homeland and a symbol of freedom, opportunity and hope to generations of immigrants. The Statue of Liberty accepts those who have nowhere to turn.
