Recommended: Syrian refugee crisis summary

I hope your campaign to be the next president of the United States will soon wrap up, so you can return to your towers. When I was at school, an individual asked me if I was Indian, and I thought of you. I am not Indian, but you see, since I am a different skin color than others, I am often asked a question like that. But Americans think of darker skin colored people, as Indian or Muslim. Yet, if I were to judge a white American based on their skin color of what their nationality is, they would immediately get offended, for most in America. We live in the society that judges based on how one looks. America is hypocritical. You want to run for president and talk about how in your debate, to get rid of all immigrants including Syrian refugees.

    Making sure everyone has equal rights and freedom is crucial to people's lives. Accepting people into our country shouldn't be based on their skin color or religion, but their criminal record and if they could truly be a threat to us. In fact the immigration and nationality act of 1965 says, you cannot discriminate an immigrants visa based on their gender, race, place of birth, or nationality(Bier, 2017)."We cannot allow terrorists to intimidate us into abandoning our values and humanitarian obligations"(Clinton). These refugees are trying to get away from the same terrorists that we are facing, so why force them to stay in their country where their lives could be at stake? The U.S immigration laws are what kept the Frank family from coming into America, and look how terribly they were treated. If only we could have noticed that these innocent people were not spies but people trying to save their life. Overall, we need to realize our values and start acting upon as they

  • Pros And Cons: The Removal Of Native Americans

    559 Words  | 2 Pages

    The removal of Native Americans started when Andrew Jackson was elected President. Jackson was the candidate of a Democratic Party, which was good because he was elected at a time when national politics were becoming more democratic. Historians now refer to this trend as the Jacksonian democracy. Jacksonian democracy inforced serious limitations on Native Americans, who were not considered citizens, and women could not vote in any state. This was only the beginning of Native Americans being treated poorly.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Immigrants In America

    1190 Words  | 3 Pages

    Some would say, quotes John F. Kennedy, “Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life.” Thus, in today’s society, we can say that immigrants are what made America possible—economically and socially. We are in a melting pot era where the impossible was made possible. From the time John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960, making a promise to change the national origins system to unite the nations of all countries equally. Hence, in 1965, under Lyndon Johnson’s administration, Kennedy’s promise came into light, amending the INS—favoring unification of families, not national origins. Although, the unification was made possible, the peacefulness never lasted.

  • Race : The Power Of An Illusion

    ...his race talk has to come with a large amount of bias. I believe that ethnic controversy has always been a means to separate us. I feel that way because people have made it the way it is. The United states in commonly referred to as a melting pot however, the darker your skin the further to the burner you fall. We cannot blame one country individually but the human race as a whole for creating something so depurating. The human race, collectively, has attempted to fix the race issue around the world multiple times but there are always counterparts who disagree or simply think they are the superiors. It is kind of disappointing to still see that this type of collective hatred still appears all over the world today. I do not think the issues will not die down anytime soon, especially after all of this time. I guess it is true what they say. History does repeat itself.

I understand this opens a lot of problems forAmerica. America has wronged so many races and still do. I believe that American having toface consequences for what they did. America should be forced to pay anyone that wemistreated. I feel that reparations can be the start of potentially making things better. In DavidMuras article “No-no Boys” said, “110,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated, and did notget trails or any just treatment.” This information shows that America wronged so manyJapanese Americans.

  • Pros And Cons Of Being Native American

    When you think about a Native American what comes to your mind? Being Native American is harder than you think. We don’t get everything handed to us like you expect. Everyone assumes that Swinomish gets everything just because we have Brian Cladoosby as our Chairman. Also, Brian is not the man you think he is. Yeah it looks like he’s the kind and loving Chairman of our community but it's the total opposite. When Brian said he was going to make our community better we never see him at our community dinners. He probably one been to 1 the past 2 years and we have one every month. It’s sad because he is going to be our chairman once again, no one notices because when someone stands up to him all he does is give people money to keep their mouth

  • The Pros And Cons Of American Opportunity In America

    2043 Words  | 5 Pages

    America has long been thought of as the land of opportunity. Thousands of people from various countries emigrate to America each year, but why? North America is a place where individuals can safely escape famine, as well as religious and political persecution; however, not everyone was considered equal. The ethos that the “American Opportunity” establishes an idea that any individual can achieve true prosperity and success. Al Sharpton once said, “America can’t work for only some people and become a dream for all people. It has to work for everyone. And even though everyone might not end up at the same place, if everyone starts with the same beginning, then that’s the dream fulfilled. We all don’t have the same abilities, but we should have
