Immigration Law Reflection
I attended a panel on immigration law and college policy and how it impacts the students of the Alamo Colleges. The panel members consisted of: Don Adams, Carmen De Luna-Jones, Elizabeth Almanza. The panel member where the Chief of Police for the Alamo College District, Student Success Coordinator, and Outreach Coordinator for American Gateways respectfully.
The presentation for the police and student success representatives were factual and helpful. Ms. De Luna-Jones was informative as to the programs and financial aid available to DREAMERS and DACA Students. She also reinforced the institutions policy to provide support for all students regardless of immigration status. Chief Adams spoke about how law enforcement's main objective is to provide

    Immigration Reform In The United States

    Immigration has been an ongoing issue that has affected many people in the United States today, many immigrants have doubled since the 1960s because of the economic stability in their country. Even though immigration from Mexico has decreased over time there is still a majority of other immigrants in the U.S. The immigration system is broken and needs to be addressed and called for attention because they supercharge the economic benefits in America. An immigration reform that comprehensively addresses these problems like providing a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants living and working in the U.S. A common-sense reform would restore faith and still bring hope to immigrants; this will change America…

    AP US history essay immigration DBQ

    During the late 19th century and early 20th century, immigration to the United States was wrought with challenges. The newly arriving aliens were met with racist native-borns who feared that they would threaten their way of life. This tension between these new groups facilitated the U.S. government’s anti-immigration laws, which also caused political outbursts from those who supported immigrants.…

    Fear and Learning at Hoover Elementary

    I watched the documentary called Fear and Learning at Hoover Elementary. The filmmaker named Laura Simon, was born in Mexico and her family immigrated to America when she was six. She began her career working for a non-profit organization that dealt with immigrant rights and education. Her personal odyssey and involvement with dilemmas of her students led her to the making of Fear and Learning at Hoover Elementary. During 1994, California voters sanctioned Proposition 187, which denies public education and health care to all undocumented immigrants.…

    Personal Narrative: Ty Dooley

    1st of all I think Ty Dooley did a great job speaking at the panel and really made look at things from a totally different prospective. Something that I’ve taken away from him during the event is even after we leave this diverse university environment it is up to each and every single one of us to keep the conversations going and regardless of the good and bad going on around us we should never forget about our heritage and background regardless of where that might possible be. Something else that he made me think is that if we choose to forget about history then it would surely repeat itself. I personally will take his advice by not being scared to speak up about certain issues within the university and even a larger community, I also learned…

    DAPA Community Forum Analysis

    My attendance to the deeper than DAPA community forum was a life learning experience. I am grateful to have attended the forum because I was able to learn and get informed about a big problem in our community. Before the forum I knew little to nothing about DAPA, and even less about the significance to undocumented people. The environment in the room helped me feel close to home because of the amount of Latino students present, the pan dulce and champurrado. Just learning a brief history of the policies of DAPA/DACA+ helped empower and enlighten me. The presentation was hosted by Fernando and Magdaleno. Both the hosts did a great job in making everyone feel comfortable and excited to be spending there Friday evening on campus. I learned that…

    Immigration Struggles: an Annotated Bibliography

    This journal article was written by Leisy Abrego about the effects of AB 540 on undocumented students in California, which I found in EBSCO. The journal talks about how the AB 540 helps undocumented Latinos go to school. The journal is more for the public audience. The journal isn’t biases; it’s more into dept on how they students can go to school. It talks about how some illegal students get turn down from schools because of them being undocumented. But some schools do take undocumented students; the problem is that they’re going to have to pay out their pockets. They don’t qualify for any government support. Going to school, getting your Bachelors or Masters degree is not a problem. The problem is going to be when they have to get a job. How are they going to get a job, when they don’t have the access to a social security? Unlike other articles, this journal is focused more on undocumented Latinos education. I would use this article for my struggles with undocumented Latino students.…

    Immigration Reform Hypothesis

    There are several methods that I would use to test these two hypotheses. For the first hypothesis, I would test it by interviewing people about the issue. I would ask people questions about if they felt that the recent immigration reforms did affect the current rise of immigration in America. Another simple question to ask might be if the person accepts or declines these immigration reforms. If they do accept these immigration reforms, this might falsify my hypothesis and show me what other views are upon this hypothesis. If they don’t accept immigration reforms, I might ask them of why they don’t accept these reforms and this might be good background information for discussing my view towards this hypothesis. Overall, this method is appropriate,…

    Immigration Argument Analysis

    People from different parts of the world come to America in search of freedom and opportunities to make a better life for themselves and their children. However, due to the political uncertainty in the United States, immigrants are not welcomed or accepted with open arms. By being unwelcoming toward immigrants not only are we preventing them from coming to America but we also prevent aspiring, and hardworking individuals who have the potential to make America a stronger nation. Though some people will argue that there are many natives who are willing to work and are left unemployed because immigrants are taking their jobs; this argument is simply not true. During the 2016 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton stated that immigrants have a…

    Stop And Frisk Reflection

    The presentation that I attended was on Thursday January 21 2016 from one until two fifteen. The event took place inside the Loosemorre auditorium in Devos. The presentation was titled, Stop and Frisk, Racial Profiling and the U.S. Constitution. Dr.Kanaboshi, Dr.Gerkin and Gonzalez (a grad school student) put on this presentation. The event was held at this location because it was during the week that Grand Valley did the teach in. The speakers gave their presentation on this issue, and I felt that the crowd was very involved. The crowd was filled with many students as well as professors, and people in the community. Many of the adults were very intrested in this topic, and continued asking questions. There was so many questions that they…

    Immigration Argumentative Essay

    People want to blame immigration for the economical crisis. Also, people think that immigrants take job opportunities away from U.S- born citizens. Forbes newspaper contributor, E.D Kain asserts “Yet in Alabama, the draconian new anti-immigrant law HB56 is promising not only to destroy people's lives and tear families apart, it's also threatening the state's already brittle economy at the worst possible moment....” Passing anti-immigration laws will not help the economy. Immigration does not destroy the economy. However, if an anti-immigration law is passed, the economy will most likely decline. Many individuals look at all immigrants as if they do not contribute into improving the economy. Legal immigrants…

    immigration reform

    Today our nation is faced with many problems and one that seems to stand out is an immigration reform. Many of those who reside in the U.S may not see it as a big issue, but in reality it really is. An immigration reform would not only help our nation’s struggling economy but it will also allow our government to keep better track of its residents given us a sense of higher security. Those who oppose such reform fear it will only serve to decrease job opportunities due to the increase in completion for places and ultimately burry us deeper in this troubling economy but with an immigration reform, there would be a stop to the separation of families, a boost to the economy and nation’s security will also have its benefits.…

    Illegal Immigration Reflection

    My first addition to the bill would be is, I believe we need longer and harder processing system for entry to have more evidence whether or not the applicant is a hazard or not. I want to include the Muslim population, the reason for that is because I feel it could cause more issues Mexicans on the immigration bill. With how I view the Muslim population and how maybe many other Americans see them, is as a threat, due to many of the ISIS members being a part of that race, and causing a tragic day known as 9/11. Not only was that a very scary and sad event in which the members of ISIS attacked US citizens on our own territory but they still made more threats and promises of things yet to come. This is where I feel that the Muslims population…
