Recommended: Immigration ethical issue

The ethical case is that there is a perfectly good worker who needs money more than most that is trying to work illegally. There are a lot of people who are stakeholders in this situation. There are other workers who established a relationship with Carmen as well as people within the community. The biggest stakeholders are Carmen’s kids, they didn’t ask to be born and the life they have isn’t their fault. The second biggest stakeholders are the human resources management team. It may not be obvious, but people can get into a lot of trouble for hiring an illegal immigrant. In fact, I’m reasonably certain that by not immediately calling the police Mark is already breaking the law.
Mark has a loyalty to the company as well as a loyalty with fellow

  • Stephen Macedo's The Moral Dilemma Of US Immigration Policy

    1666 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are several theories to look into when discussing the morality of borders. I specifically look into Stephen Macedo’s chapter “The Moral Dilemma of U.S. Immigration Policy, open borders versus social justice?” in Debating Immigration and Joseph Carens article “Aliens and Citizens: The Case for Open Borders.” Using political theory back up his argument, Carens uses Rawlsian, the Nozickean, and the utilitarian to support and explain his claims that there is little justification for keeping oppressed people from other countries seeking a better life out of the United States. Macedo also uses similar liberal philosophy referencing Rawlsianism to support the opposing idea of a more restrictionist society, posing the question of cosmopolitanism

The Chelsea Tenant Association helps with housing and tenant/landlord disputes. CLIC (Chelsea Latino Immigrant Committee) helps undocumented workers know and understand their rights by running Worker Centers. There are employers who take advantage of these individuals and violate their rights since they feel there is no consequence since the workers they hire are undocumented. Although these workers are undocumented, these employers must understand that they have human rights and a complaint could still be filed with the Attorney General’s office to look into the matter.

    Every day we face decisions that we need to make. Right or wrong we make a decision and follow through with it. Not every decision is the right decision, but if we can justify or learn from our decisions the consequences is what we take away from each decision. Human resource departments handle complex decisions every day, but their decisions may not be as black and white. Human resources have to make the right choice for both the employer and the employee and this decision is based on ethics and the moral principal that needs recognized. In the case of Lupe Garza, an illegal immigrant who is working under a false identity, the human resource specialist finds out that Lupe is working under false pretenses and he is torn on making the right decision.

Some people feel that illegal immigrants should be protected by the same rights and laws as American citizens. On the other hand, many people believe that this is a horrible mistake. They feel that the rights of citizenship should be earned and not extended to people who haven broken the law just by being in the United States.

  • Discrimination Against Undocumented Immigrants

    610 Words  | 2 Pages

    The presenting problem in my group is discrimination against undocumented immigrants. “Discrimination is acting on the basis of prejudice.” (“Institutional Racism and The Social Work Profession: A Call to Action”, 2007). Hutchison (2015) says, how waves of immigration have historically been accompanied by anti-immigrant sentiment. There are many reasons for discrimination against undocumented immigrants and some may include, fear that new immigrants will dilute the “purity” of the native culture, racial and religious bias, and fear of economic competition. (Hutchison, 2015, p. 18). We can see here that there are plenty of reasons as to why there could be discrimination against undocumented immigrants. It is our job as social workers to be aware of the diversity in our community and help these populations as much as we can.
