Stop Deportation

What has our nation come to? Separating children from their parents. Aren’t children in America a number one priority? It’s clear that illegal immigrants looking for an immigration reform is a huge issue, there are many things holding our nation back from giving the ones in need one. Perhaps, Terrorist Threat, Economic Reasons & even Violence. However, it’s time that justice has to be made for those who come to this country to make a better future for their families. Over a decade illegal immigrants have been discriminated, being called “illegal aliens” and mistreated for only coming to this country to give their family a better place to live. It is unfair how adults are trying to build up a better life for themselves, having children in this country and getting deported. This affects children in many ways emotionally & mentally. It is obvious that America has been deporting these “aliens” as easy as one, two, three just thinking about their benefit but not thinking of the children who are being separated from their parents. The government believes keeping illegal “aliens” out will prevent Terrorist attacks and Economic issues, when the truth is they are only affecting our own nation. Deportations leave many U.S.-citizen children with unauthorized parents in foster care, “often for no other reason than the undocumented status of a parent,” at a cost of nearly $26,000 per year for each child. Nowadays the cost of deporting a single person back to their native homeland reaches tens of thousands. Instead of the government saving up money, they are only wasting it on an issue that can simply be solved if we understood the magnitude of how complicated is to deport people back to their countries.
Daily, unauthorized immigrants live in constant fear of deportation, which creates a large number of single mothers struggling to make ends meet after the deportations of their husbands

    First, I wanted to start by stating that not only was your post compelling, but it was also well researched. Secondly, I agree with you that the idea of amending the 14th amendment, to exclude children born in the United States (U.S.), by undocumented immigrants would be absolutely horrific. In addition, I also agree with your statement that children born in the United States, whose parents are illegal immigrants should not be punished just because their parents are not U.S. citizens. It is tragic that so many people are blinded by the stereotypes of illegal immigrants that some U.S. citation will speak ill of infants born by undocumented immigrants. A survey was taken in 2011 which showed only 57% of American citizens wanted to keep the…

    I agree with Martinez’s point of view. I think every mother and father want to live nearby their children. They love their kids so much. They want their kids live in the places where safety, have education and economic development. They try to find the best way to make their children have the happy life. If they cannot bring their kids to the United States, they know the kids will be killed in someday. In El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, every day the number of the kids between 15 and 24 of ages was killed are increasing. They are the parents, so they cannot stop worrying about their children if their kids still live there. However, they are illegal immigrants, and they live without paper and undocumented, so they cannot bring their children…

    The term anchor baby is being used to describe the children of illegal immigrants. This child's purpose is to help the parents secure citizenship in the country. This practice occurs way too often because one out of twelve babies born are anchor babies (Semotiuk). This is crazy that the government is allowing this to occur. The Commonwealth of Independent States did a study and the number they found are absolutely astonishing. They found that between 300,000 to 400,000 children are born to illegal immigrants every year. They also found that spikes in the data occur, because in 2003, 2.3 million children of illegals were born in America. Then in 2008, four million children were born that had parents that were undocumented. That is 1.25% of the…

    Recently, over this summer there has been hundreds of children who have illegally entered the United States from Central and South America. They snuck here because a lot of their parents sent them here in search of a much safer life with more opportunity ahead of them instead of being under a gruesome government control over in there home country. I believe they should be sent back to their country because, these kids could potentially be a liar and or a threat to our countries safety, and it is unconstitutional to make exceptions for anyone that doesn’t abide by the law, especially if they’re not a United States citizen, that entered the U.S illegally.…

There are many illegal immigrants that make their way to the U.S. for better opprotunities such as education and employment.

    The children would not be able to just walk out the door, leave their parents, and fly back out of America; it isn’t up to them. Even if they did leave their parents, they would not have a great way of earning income. It really affects a child if they are not able to go to school and learn how to interact with other people. They may end up socially awkward and may get teased. That is no way for a child to live.…

    The Heritage Foundations, Tim Kane, Ph.D., writes “America’s exceptional status as a ‘nation of immigrants’ is being challenged by globalization. The biggest challenge for policy makers is to distinguish illusory immigration from real problem. The supported approach from recent years ‘a policy of benign neglect’ is no longer an option.” Members from the Senate and House of Representatives both recognize this and should be given credit for their efforts to craft this proposed comprehensive law which today, is known as the ‘Amnesty Plan.’ I strongly agree with this ‘Amnesty Plan’ and feel it needs to be pushed through due to its solid pillars. Such as, having undocumented aliens to pay fines, back taxes, and requiring them to understand and abide by the laws of the U.S.. It also addresses border security and identity theft by illegals that use false information to gain employment.…

    To deal with the large numbers of undocumented immigrants in the country they propose mass deportations. However the feasibility of these deportations are often overlooked. In early years the director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Julie Myers estimated “to detain and remove 12 million people would cost at least $94 billion, more than twice the entire Department of Homeland Security 2008 budget” (Hatch 9). This estimate does not include the cost of relocation and the cost of court hearings. Altogether the costs would be even greater than these predictions. Despite tremendous costs, deportations of such magnitude would also have an impact on American communities. With the deportation of 12 million adults this would estimate “for every two adults deported after the recent raids, one child was left behind, the majority under the age of five” (Hatch 11). Mass deportations don't only have an immense physical cost but also an immense emotional cost as…

    A topic that played a role in the United States presidential election was the topic of if U.S citizens would have more job opportunities. President Trump during the election promised to bring more jobs back to America. His method of accomplishing this was to deport everyone in the United States who was an illegal immigrant. This method from President Trump received a lot of backlash as he was deemed as having racist intentions to deport everyone of Latin descent as Mexicans have the highest amount of illegal immigration statuses in America. Currently the law for deporting illegal immigrants has not been passed and the issue that has still yet to be resolved is the decline of job opportunities in the United States.…

    For years Immigrants have came to America undocumented and have kids on American soil so that the child will remain an American citizen and can not be deported. This is however a common misconception among American citizens as the child only meets half of the quota for the Fourteenth Amendment as the children are not under American jurisdiction and are not Americans. Now I do not believe the family should be deported but should instead be prep to learn how to get a visa however those who have broken American law can't get one so by law they must be deported.…
