    Sessions V. Morales-Santana Case Summary

    Luis Ramon Morales-Santana was born in 1962 in the Dominican Republic and became a lawful permanent resident of the United States in 1975. His father had become an American citizen in 1917 and his mother was a citizen of the Dominican Republic. According to the Immigration and Nationality Act that was active at the time of Morales-Santana’s birth, a child born in a foreign country to an unwed citizen father and to a non-citizen mother only was a citizen at birth if the father was physically present in the United States for at least 10 years prior to the child’s birth (at least 5 of these years had to be after the age 14). Since his father left to work in the Dominican Republic and did not meet the requirements, citizenship was not transferred to…

    The Canadian Mosaic vs. the U.S. Melting Pot

    Canada is world renown for being one of the most tolerant, welcoming, and democratic countries in the world - a dynamic mosaic of multiculturalism where people live and work together in harmony. Over the past 150 years, more than 14 million people have immigrated to Canada, with 16% of the 30 million citizens being first-generation immigrants. The Government of Canada is committed to a policy of diversity designed to preserve and enhance the multicultural heritage of Canadians, while striving to achieve equality in the economic, social, cultural and political aspects of Canada. In 1991, the Department of Multiculturalism and Citizenship conducted a survey, which revealed high levels of Canadian values and identity. Six out of ten interviewees portrayed a "deep emotional attachment to Canada" and 95% believe they can be proud of being a citizen and of their ancestry simultaneously. As a nation, Canada is continually becoming more diverse in its practices, which requires residents to expand their knowledge and appreciate other cultures.…

    Canadian Identity

    Canadian Identity

    The word “Canadian”, was first defined as “British”. The meaning of this word turned into “anti-Americanism” as the history developed (Wood, P.K. 2001)—Canadian identity was completely different from what America’s is, that people in Canada were politer, relatively more passive and they welcome new cultures into the nation (Arrison, S. 1999). This impression, however, has never stopped developing, even faster now as Canadian people came to realize that, beyond those traits which Americans do not have, they have other good characteristics that worth promotions. Personally, I hold that the overall image of Canadian identity needs to be changed, for a fact that an ambiguous national identity may have Canadian people misunderstood as well…

    Borders: Narrator and Boy

    The contrast between the son and his mother is initially presented in “Borders” when they make their first attempt at crossing the US border. This contrast is displayed here through the importance each character possesses for their identity. It is clear that the son does not have the same stubborn approach to his identity at the border that his mother has: “It would have been easier if my mother had just said ‘Canadian’ and been done with it, but I could see she wasn’t going to do that,” (King 135). The boy’s compliant attitude and low importance of identity is stressed again when he and his mother are speaking with the Inspector Pratt. Again, the son is willing to relinquish his identity as a non-Canadian, against his mothers actions, in order to cross the border to see his older sister: “I told Stella that we were Canadian and Blackfoot, but she said it didn’t count because I was a minor,” (137). The boy’s attitude presented by Thomas King is very different from his mothers. The boy’s mother is biased and not compliant. When Inspector Pratt tells the mother “if [she] didn’t declare her citizenship, [she] would have to go back to where [she] came from,” she simply refuses to renounce where she stands on her citizenship (King 137). As a result of this, she “thanked Stella for her time … and drove back to…

    different borders (Guatemalan, Mexican, and the USA). She explains that this is a big accomplishment for her because when you don’t have a voice in your own country, you have to leave everything, including your love ones in order to survive; she had to leave three young daughters ages 4,3,1. She adds that before she became legal, it was hard for her to find a decent paying job that allowed her to send money for her three daughters. Now that she is legal, she feels she has a voice and can help her daughters come to the United States. This reminds me of the Theories of Migration by Douglas Massey. Which explains why Reyna moved from a segregated country to a place where there is an opportunity…
