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

  • Will the Real Lupe Garza Please Stand Up?

    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.

  • 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

  • Illegal Immigration in America

    1545 Words  | 4 Pages

    Out of the 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States, 8 million of them are currently working. Employers in America who want inexpensive workers, hire illegal immigrants and pay them under the table. Since the system does not have an efficient way of identifying and penalizing these employers, this has been an ongoing dilemma. As a result, the American economy suffers because illegal immigrants are not paying taxes like the rest of the legal citizens. Americans who are citizens consequently have difficulties finding jobs because employers would rather pay under the table so they can make higher profits. In my perspective, the employers are at fault here if they knowingly hire workers who are not eligible to work here. However, if the employer did not know about an immigrant’s illegal status than the immigrant is at fault for cheating the system. These are just some of the current issues related to illegal immigration t...

  • Illegal Immigration: Negative Deviance

    1236 Words  | 3 Pages

    What is deviance? Deviance describes actions or behaviors that go against the social norms of a society. There are two types of deviances. Positive deviance is when someone over conforms to the norms of society. Like a straight “A” student in middle school or high school, this makes everyone else not like them because they make them look bad by doing extra. Negative deviance is the more recognized of the two. It’s when someone under conforms to society’s norms. For instance, a student who skips class and doesn’t do any work. Deviance is determined by three circumstances. Social status and power of the individuals involved; social context in which the behavior occurs; and the historical period in which the behavior takes place. Social status and power also manipulate deviance. During times of racial segregation whites were the ones in charge, if a white and black man committed the same crime the white man would get the minimum punishment if any, while the black man got the maximum and be labeled deviant for his crime. On another note, deviance is based on social definition and over a period of time. For immigrants, if they were in their homeland coming to America for a better life, it is considered a norm for their homeland. However if they are in America and did not complete the necessary process to become a citizen, then they are deemed a deviant for violating our norm, which is to go through the full process of becoming a citizen. Illegal immigration is not considered to be deviant in some countries since it’s their norm, but in the U.S. it is against the norm. Illegal immigration is a negative deviant because they did not follow proper procedure for entering the U.S. and currently the U.S. is trying to con...

    A topic crucial to the world today is illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is when people live in a country without permission from the government, nor have any legal documentation. As more and more illegal immigrants enter the United States, it either upsets some people, or others feel like they should just grant them ability to pursue life, liberty, and happiness because that is what the Constitution says. 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.

  • Immigration Reforms: Impact on American Economy

    In the upcoming presidential election, one of the most popular topics is that of illegal immigration. Leading Republican candidate Donald J. Trump has run a campaign heavily anti-illegal immigration. He proposes reform in American immigration, specifically from Mexico.

U.S. citizens are passionate to restore their economy, and many have adopted a very xenophobic attitude towards immigration amidst the new presidential debates.

  • 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.
