A Rhetorical Analysis Of I Live Here

Humanity is ever so much more complicated than one could have ever imagined. Humans can thrive on change, but ultimately look for something to declare as home. In search of this home people travel long distances and risk everything they have. When an American contemplates the word immigrant, one imagines the countless people from Mexico crossing into our country or the refugees that hope to make this country their home. What eludes most of us, however, is the reality that most people were, at one point, immigrants to this country and that our forefathers came here exactly the same as refugees come today. What is brought to mind when I hear the word immigrant is hope and perseverance. I remember the countless people who have traveled here

Immigration has existed around the world for centuries, decades, and included hundreds of cultures. Tired of poverty, a lack of opportunities, unequal treatment, political corruption, and lacking any choice, many decided to emigrate from their country of birth to seek new opportunities and a new and better life in another country, to settle a future for their families, to work hard and earn a place in life. As the nation of the opportunities, land of the dreams, and because of its foundation of a better, more equal world for all, the United States of America has been a point of hope for many of those people. A lot of nationals around the world have ended their research for a place to call home in the United States of America. By analyzing

The changing environments throughout the ages have caused the movement of thousands of families out of their homelands. Whether forced to make such decisions or doing so by their own desires, all immigrants have had to survive the physical and psychological challenges encountered along the way. To speak about the experiences of all these different people using the same ideas and examples would be quite inaccurate. They all, however, had to live through similar situations and deal with similar problems. Many of them succeeded and found the better future they were looking for. Many others found only hardship and experienced the destruction of their hopes and dreams. All of them were transformed.

Immigration is the means for a individual that is not originally from an area or country to migrate to another area, “the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country” (Google, 2017). When an individual from a different country migrates into a foreign country they undergo “immediate stressors associated with meeting basic survival needs, losing the familiar, learning English, and meeting the demands of life in a new environment. They also soon face resettlement challenges of cop- ing with cultural change, mobilizing resources to meet their needs, and formulating future life goals” (Timberlake, Faber, Wall, Taylor, Sabatino, 2003) Immigrants usually rely on their spirituality, moral frameworks, culture framework and famility sustaining

Since Amin Ahmad immigrated into the United States from India, he has real life experience that contributes to his claims. He is able to connect specific occurrences he faced with immigrants alike himself, and their comparable situations. He explains that, “my passport tells the story of my immigrant life: my student and work visas; all the entry and exit stamps as I traveled between India and the United States” (Ahmad 38). His passport is a constant reminder of the journey he has traveled and the experiences that define him as a person. Ahmad demonstrates a perspective of immigration that is unique to many. Not only has he made the steps towards leaving his country, he has successfully created a life for himself. He las lived in the United States for a long period of time and even has an American fiancé. With this unique situation, he can connect with a vast amount of different people, both citizens and immigrants.

Although most immigrants are Hispanic, at least 11% of the newcomers are from India, Vietnam and China. Immigrants from all over the world come for the same three things: economic, religious, and political freedom. The countries the people have escaped from are riddled with thousands of obstacles ranging from political unrest, religious persecution to poverty and oppression. Hoping for a better life for themselves and their loved ones, immigrants experience multiple trials and unthinkable horrors on their journey towards

This project argues that due to certain circumstances affecting the security of the UK, the implementation of the immigration act in recent years has caused many immigrants to leave the country or face difficulties residing in the UK.

In conclusion migrants are becoming more and more integrated within our society as time goes on, such as with the increase of the population being born outside of the UK from 7.5% in 2001 to 13% in 2011. There still is issues and will be issues in the future, however it’s how we decide to cater to this ever growing multicultural society in a way that is economically and socially sustainable, benefiting all residents of the

As Britain opted to leave the European Union and head into a negotiation process with its European counterparts, many issues need to be considered. Mainly the UK government focuses on the economic position, in particular the single market. This issue is closely linked to freedom of movement, so it could be the hardest part of the negotiation on which to achieve common ground. A part of the difficulty are the issues relating to the migration of people who are non-EU citizens, while the focus herein is firmly on the future of those defined as asylum seekers. This category has not been shown any attention by UK policy makers, while it appears this group forms a significant proportion of net migration figures. Plus, it could be argued that the main driver of the crisis that has led the UK public to opt to leave the EU is the influx of migrants, as this issue greatly escalated when the European Union was pushed the UK to accept a percentage of people who fled their homes from persecution, in particular Syrian citizens. Thus, the problem is defined by which asylum seekers are part of the issue that has led the UK to leave the European Union, regardless from who is behind this, whether the radical right-wing or individuals. It is too late to seek the root causes of the problem; it is time for solutions and guiding principles. The neo-liberal economic policies stated that social democracy should be our guiding values

‘America is the land of immigrants’- this was the first thing I ever heard about the supreme global power of the 21st century, and my definition of the US has been expanding since then- what class of people are considered immigrants, what lives do they live after migrating, what impacts does this process of migration has on their social and family lives? Being an immigrant myself, I had the opportunity to gain many first hand experiences and find answers to many of these questions. However, as an advantage of being a second generation migrant, my transition was a lot easier than the first generation migrants. In this ethnography, I take a deeper insight on the perspective towards migration possessed by Krishna, a first generation Indian migrant to the US, who was able to achieve the American dream. Unlike most of the immigrant stories of ‘suffering’ that come to the limelight in the society, Krishna’s stance towards his immigration is relatively positive, as he believes that his new country has more or less fulfilled his dream of attaining a higher level of “well being” (Powers and Faden 2006: 15), which was his primary motivation behind the decision to migrate.

‘America is the land of immigrants.’- This was the first thing I ever heard about the supreme global power of the 21st century, and my definition of immigration has been expanding since then. Being an immigrant myself, I had the opportunity to gain several first hand experiences in the processes of migration and assimilation in a host society. Although the benefit of being a second generation migrant eased my transition than that of many first generation migrants, the culture I brought with me from India, my home country, did not fail to shape my life in the US. Culture implants moral values in one’s personality directing the cognitive pathways towards decision making, which ultimately influence life goals and attainment of those goals too. This influence of culture is conspicuous in the differences observed in the realizations of the ‘American dream’ among different ethnic groups, representing different cultural backgrounds. In this ethnography, I take a deeper look at the migration perspectives of a first generation Indian migrant to the US named Krishna, who was able to achieve the American dream. Belonging to one of the most successful immigrant groups in the US, i.e. the Indians, Krishna possesses a relatively positive stance towards his migration experience compared to the most immigrant stories of ‘suffering’ that come to the limelight in the society.

The article talked about the pros and cons of limiting immigration into Britain. Through the controversial Brexit secession from the European Union, there has been a debate about limiting immigration. Currently there is a large ageing Britain population that will heavily influence the future of the economy. There is also a large industrial and scientific footprint in the economy. All of this can be tuned and swayed by the incoming immigrant population. The article discusses how by increasing the immigrant population will benefit public finances such as health care through an increase in tax payers. The increase in immigration will also result in a higher industrial workforce as well as access to foreign professionals in fields of research.

Immigration has become a growing problem in the United Kingdom, with the Uk having the 19th biggest population density in the world and half the size of Spain, and they are not even in the top twenty. The Uk attracts immigrants with its diverse culture and low employment rate; statistics showed that the number of Romanians and Bulgarians alone working in the UK reached a record 202,000 last year. Predicted to be At 80 million by 2020, it doesn't seem like it is decreasing.

Immigration is a difficult process and should be made fairer. There are weird rules and many problems with the system including the illegal immigration policies. How do you figure out who to deport, and when to deport people? One family has over five different immigration statuses, and is was getting pulled apart. Part of the family was supposed to be deported, but others were let stay. Another problem is deciding who to let in as a refugee, and who to keep out. The categories should be because they are fleeing violence and persecution. However, Migrants fleeing Central America don't qualify as refugees because they are not fleeing a more traditional conflict, and under the current rules and they can be deported. They are still fleeing conflict,
