11/13

today in class i took a test that was taken by the class on tuesday, which was the day i was not feeling well and decided to stay home. i had felt like i did pretty ok on the test. i got a 75% which is passing but i expected to do better. while i was taking the test outside in the hallways the rest of the class was working on their essays, so i was kinda disappointed that i didnt get that time to work on my essay like they did, but i have been working hard on it tonight. the essay that we had to do was a choice out of three options and it counted for 25% of our semester exam for this class. i felt like i really put in a lot of effort on the essay and hopefully i will recieve a good grade.

today i was not in class due to being home sick.

migration

US citizens favor letting law enforcement officials stop and verify the legal status of anyone, but they fear civil rights will be infringed upon the citizens here in the states, as a result of racial profiling. Polls suggest that the US citizens believe authorization immigration is a pressing matter to the nation and should only be dealt with at the federal level and not local.

There are many immigration concerns in Europe. Population growth in Europe is fueled by immigration from other countries and regions of the world, a trend disliked by many of the Europeans from Europe. The biggest fear is that the host countries culture will be lost, because immigrants adhere to different religions, speak different languages, and they also practice different food and other cultural habits that are hostility to immigrants has become a central plank of some political parties in many European countries. Immigrants blamed for crime, unemployment rates, and high welfare costs. They usually were not very happy about this.

Europeans as emigrants. Inhospitable climate for immigrants in Europe is especially ironic. Europe was the source of most of the world’s emigrants during the 19^thcentury. Most Europeans fear of losing their cultural heritage to that of the new immigrants while Europeans fear of losing their cultural heritage to that of new immigrants while European languages are now spoken by half the world as a result of emigrants from Europe. Christianity was the world’s largest number of adherents. European art and music have diffused throughout the world.

Characteristics of migrants; Ravenstein noted that most long-distance migrants are male. Most long-distance migrants are adult individuals rather than families with children and other people. Most long-distance migrants are young adults who are seeking work and jobs that they can do to either make a living or make money rather than children or elderly people with jobs already.  This rout is the easy way out of having to have a family 

controlling migration

Countries have adopted many selective policies. Preference shown for specific employment placement; and family. Passing of the Quota act in 1921 and the national origins act in 1924 by the US congress marked the end of the unrestricted immigration to the US. More and more seek admission to the US than is permitted by the Quotas, thus preferences are show towards family reunification, skilled workers and diversity. A few immigrants admitted because their sending country historically has sent very few migrants to the US and know that they are here. 

Unauthorized immigrants are those who enter without proper documents that they are supposed to be or allowed to be here in the United states. Characteristics of unauthorized immigrants into the united states are source country and that is roughly fifty-eight percent, the other is children and most of the immigrants are children or sometimes people face problems when they have children that were born here even after they were not supposed to be here. During the residency has increased for unauthorized immigrants and in 2010 thirty-five percent of adults had been in the united states for at least 15 years. Labor force is another huge contribution to this. Approximately 8 million unauthorized immigrants are employed here in the states. Distribution from Texas and California are the largest number of those types of immigrants because they are so close to the borders of Mexico. A view from the us recognizes motives that compel unauthorized immigrates to enter the US illegally such as employment opportunities, family reunification and a better way of life. 

Immigration concerns in the US are like the views of immigration by the US citizens that are ambivalent in nature. We also must have good border control or at least make it more effective. The workplace is important and it’s a big problem because some of these illegal immigrants take jobs from people that are actually supposed to be here such as the citizens or legal immigrants. The citizens here in the states favor letting law enforcements officials stop and verify the legal status of anyone, but they fear civil rights will be infringed upon the citizens, as a result of profiling. Polls suggest US citizens believe unauthorized immigrants is a pressing matter to the nation bit it should only be dealt with at the federal level and not the local level.

Why do migrants face challenges?

èToday the major obstacles faced by most immigrants are political

èMost countries have adopted selective immigration policies that admit some types of immigration but not others. For example, the united states are no exception.

èThe two reasons that most visas are granted is employment placement and family. 

èThe four immigration policies:

1.    Maintain the current level of immigration 

2.    Increase the level

3.    Reduce the level

4.    No policy 

è21 countries seek more immigrants, 32 want fewer immigrants, 116 wishes to maintain the current level, and 25 of them do not have a policy at all. The 32 countries with policies to reduce immigration include 10 in the southwest: Asia and North Africa and 8 in the sub-Saharan Africa. The UN considers 67 countries to have policies that encourage more highly skilled immigrants and 14 countries to be encouraging greater family unification. The UN found policies to increase emigration in 18 countries, decrease in 46, to maintain current level in 43 and then 88 left with no policy.

èThe amount of people allowed to enter the united states is historically high 

èMany who are not able to enter in legally to the united states often just immigrate illegally, then they are considered undocumented and could be sent back.

packet notes

1. Mass European immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: Between 1820 and 1920, about 32 million people immigrated to the United States and nearly 90% of them were coming from Europe. immigration multiplied by 10 and 75% of the immigrants came from Ireland and Germany. Ireland had many push factors due to economic issues and germany had political issues. since the Industrial Revolution had spread to scandinavia the population increased greatly, and many of them came to the U.S. Many of the immigrants from Europe came here because of the industrial revolution. 

2. Asian and Latin American immigration in the late twentieth and early twenty-first countries: Immigration was pretty low during the Great Depression and the world war one but it slowly increased and by the 20th century it was at high levels. Many of these immigrants came from Latin America and Asia. About 13 million Latin Americans have migrated to the U.S. in the past 50 years, nearly 500,000 annually. Around 7 million Asian have immigrated to the U.S. in the past 50 years. In 2006, Mexico passed Germany as the most people that have come from one country to the United States. Mexico became the leading source in about 1990.

migration

migrations:

asylum- the act of asking to come in to a certain country if you actually give them a real reason and even if it is. real reason they still have to approve whether you can come in or not. an example would be you would like to leave your country because you are being persecuted for what you believe, and even though that might be a real situation of somebody, they still have to decide if you can come in or not because not everybody will be able to just come in. we would have an overflowed country.

the way that immigrants get in must go through the process like the real documented way of migrating to another country (aka though the ellis island)  if you are trying to get from one country to another they have to consider a lot of factors before they decide to let you in. 

-> the trump administration is making it harder: (to apply for asylum)

things to consider:

1. is he doing the right thing?

2. why does he do what he does?

caravans of people keep heading from central america and trying to get in

- is he undermining the asylum?

- is he restoring it (back to original intention)

- they haven't gone through the process everybody else had too
