It is possible that while children and young people feel they can’t join in with the group they may sit in a corner by themselves as they will feel left out and their behaviour will be affected – someone who is normally quite happy and full of energy may suddenly have very negative behaviour towards other children and young people and possibly even the adults caring for them. This will lead to a very unsettled atmosphere in the setting and could impact on the other children as they will start to feel unhappy and then the adults in the classroom will have more problems to deal with meaning they could become stressed If the adults become stressed their behaviour could change meaning that all the other children in the class will start to feel like they don’t want to go school and they will be fewer positive relationships throughout the class.

As a practitioner you have a legal duty to protect the rights of all children and young people you work with therefore it is vital that you assess and evaluate your attitudes, behaviour and values regularly and make a point of looking at how they can affect your practice with the children and young people you work with. Your attitudes, values and behaviour can impact on your work with children and young people in both positive and negative ways for example if you make a point of finding out and learning about the backgrounds, interests, abilities and individual needs of the children and/or young people you work with this will help you to provide more effective, appropriate personalised support as you will have a broader range of knowledge of the different cultures and customs of the children and/or young people meaning you will be able to talk and act in the appropriate way towards them and they will know that you care about them and are interested in what they do – this will help you to build positive relationships with them and they are more likely to want to and be happy to talk to you when they have problems or are worried about certain things as they know you will listen and take what they say seriously.

Generally my behaviour is appropriate and professional when I am working with the children in my care but sometimes I can get a bit annoyed when children come to ask me something, this is normally if I am busy with a job the teacher has given me for example if it’s gluing in pupils work or sorting out sheets to be laminated. If I am busy with this and children come to ask me something or tell me that someone has been mean to them I can get annoyed as they have disrupted me from what I was doing. This can have a negative impact on the children as they may start to feel that I don’t care about what they have to say or that I don’t want to listen to them. I need to make sure that even if I am doing a job I still need to be approachable so that the children know I am happy to help them when they need it and that they can talk to me about anything if there is something worrying them – I need to remember I am there to care of them and make sure they are happy and safe and not be a reason they may be unhappy just because of the way I spoke to them.

It is important that you remember that children will take in any information you give them which is why it is important to surround them with positive messages about their peers and own importance in society and to raise them with a strong sense of self-worth. You need to make sure that you don’t let your own values and beliefs affect your practice and the ways in which you support pupils. If you respect others beliefs and values they are more likely to return the favour meaning everyone can get along and the support you give will be more efficient. This is also important in the case of SEN children – you can’t decide to not support a child because they have SEN and you think they should be in a special school, it’s not just up to you. If they school are able to adapt to meet the needs of the child and the SENCO and other professionals from outside agencies who may come to see the child are happy that they are doing well enough in mainstream education then they have the right to be and this is something you should respect. SEN children have just as much of a right to an education as all other children therefore it is important that you give them the same attention and support as you would any other pupil.

However, you need to make sure that you don’t just spend time supporting those with additional needs. If you only spend time with children who have additional needs this can affect them as well as the other children or young people in your care. The children and young people who have additional needs may feel you are crowding them all the time and feel like they can’t do anything without help, it is okay to help them but you need to know your boundaries and know that sometimes they just need help starting something off and then they can carry on themselves.
Topic: diversity

Spending all you time with children who have additional needs also affects the other children and young people in your care as they will feel that you don’t care about them or the work they are doing, even with children who often don’t need support it is important that you acknowledge the work they do and push them in their work when you feel it is appropriate i.e. you might give them some extra work to do if they finish the first task set fairly quickly. At Hillbourne in Reception, the teacher Mrs. B did a similar thing for two children. She took a group of children to do a maths activity with them, a student who is training to be a teacher took a group and another volunteer took a group as well but she gave two children, M. S and E. C a challenge to complete independently. When I got back to classroom I asked M and E what the task was they had been set – they told me they had to try and fill up some boxes and see how many things (they were using small pebbles and little plastic frogs) they could get in the boxes. They had a whiteboard and pen to help them remember what they found out. I sat with them watching what they were doing and they were telling me about which box would the most and least.

It is vital in your work with children and young people that you apply principles in the way in which you form relationships in school both with adults and children and also through acting as a role model. In order to have effective anti-discriminatory practice you need to have competent colleagues who are able to see discrimination when it happens and know the right ways of challenging it. It is important that you are racial aware – this means that you are aware of what words and actions you use are considered to be discriminatory towards individuals from ethnic groups. You also need to make sure that you aware of customs and norms for an individual and ensure that you are sensitive towards that individual.
Topic: diversity

Through your work with children and young people it is important that you challenge all cases of discrimination and take all of those cases seriously no matter how small and make sure you deal with them as quickly and professionally as possible. The school have a duty to follow the code of practice to promote race equality which requires them to monitor and report all racist incidents to the LEA. One important thing to do when challenging discrimination is that you recognise anti-discriminatory practice and make sure you require knowledge of policy, procedure and practice as this well help you feel more confident about what is good practice allowing you to deal with incidents more effectively when cases arise. It is important that when dealing with cases of discrimination you recognise that it can be intentional but can also be because of ignorance and lack of understanding.
Topic: diversity

It is also vital you take into account the age of the children as very young children may say something not understanding the implications and meaning of what they have said in which case you will need to explain to the child that their comments are not acceptable and that everyone should be treated fairly and equally. In cases involving older children you may need to take further action as they should know how to behave and treat people – further action may require recording and reporting it to a member of the Senior Leadership Team in your setting. It will help in your practice if you make a point of learning assertiveness strategies that will help you to recognise discrimination. It is important that you make yourself aware of the school’s policy when racism happens and when challenging discrimination it is important that you do the following: Explain what happened or what had been said that is discriminatory State the effect of this on the individual, group and others Suggest/model ways to ensure anti-discriminatory practice

Inclusive policies should take account of needs of all pupils in the school. Inclusive practice is based on the social model of disability. The social model of disability is based on the assumption that a way the school operates, what barriers are present and how different attitudes can prevent individuals from participating in society. Legislation requires schools to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to remove barriers so children and young people can take part in educational and social activities within the school alongside the other pupils. The medical model of disability is based on the assumption that children must adapt to the environment – this can help to promote an atmosphere of ‘dependence’ and providing information i.e. worksheets in a larger print, audiotapes, alternative forms of communication.

Diversity: Diversity literally means difference. Diversity recognises that though people have things in common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising and valuing those differences. Diversity therefore consists of visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and work-style in addition to the characteristics that are protected under discrimination legislation in terms of race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age.By recognising and understanding our individual differences and embracing them, and moving beyond simple tolerance, we can create a productive environment in which everybody feels valued.
Topic: diversity

Equality: Equality means treating people in a way that is appropriate for their needs. What is needed is a way of getting on that will suit everybody’s needs without showing them up and treating them in a way that is worse than other people. Inclusion: Educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all pupils, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity, attainment and background. It pays particular attention to the provision made for, and the achievement of, different groups of pupils within a school. Discrimination: Discrimination is the prejudicial treatment of an individual based on their membership in a certain group or category.
Topic: diversity

1 Indirect Discrimination: Indirect discrimination occurs when policies and practices, which appear neutral or fair because they are applied to everyone, actually disadvantage people and particular groups within society. For example, if a job advertisement states that applicants must be able to drive then this could put a certain people at a disadvantage, such as those with a disability. So for example you may have a school display every year to celebrate Christmas because the majority of the children would be classed as ‘white’ ‘’Christian’. But if other faiths & celebrations are not represented then smaller groups could be discriminated against. 2 Stereotypes: A practitioner may intentionally or intentionally categorise children in a particular way. So for example boys play with blue things and girls play with pink.

‘Treating the individual fairly, on the same level and providing them with equal opportunities to housing, education, employment, Transport, health and social care can help as the individual will feel valued and treated fairly and not made vulnerable or set apart That will reduce, if not eliminate any discrimination against that individual or by that individual against others. Inclusion also is Important as the individual will be aware of their rights, will feel in control and will feel supported to be able to make their own Choices and have their needs met and so reduce the risk of the individual being discriminated against or discriminating against others.

The most effective way for a service provider to challenge discriminatory practice in adult social care settings is to be educated about the regulations that govern the care, be aware and report situations that are discriminatory to your team leader or group manager. There is not a specific step by step process where you fill out a piece of paper and the discrimination evaporates. What is important to remember is that the model for adults social care is based on the needs of the individual matched with the services that will most closely meet those needs. Education is probably the best weapon to have in cases of discrimination in addition to sharing information with the team to find a solution to the problem causing discrimination.

The process of immigration of different nations changes the cultural identity of the Canada. This research paper reveals the immigration issues in the Vancouver and Montreal. It highlights the main problem of the local population with the migrants that came from Asia and other countries. It shows how local residents make the attempt to preserve the cultural landscape and language identity. World Geography The North America faces the dominance of the culture and language from England settlers. However, there are two cities in the South of Canada where Asian and French culture is a dominant aspect of the society.
Topic: immigration

There are was a Great Circle Route that helped for Asians to reached Canada. In turn, Canada presented the favorable environment for Asian immigration. The closest city was Vancouver. The Asian population was rapidly growing in the city. Asian immigrants have chosen to live in the western part of the city where more space and more trees. The wealthy Asian immigrants have operation in the real estate and want to replace smaller houses with much bigger and modern. It made its impact on the cultural landscape of the Vancouver, as the houses of Asian immigrants were different and larger.
Topic: immigration

Many goods were sent thought the ocean to the North America. Many Asians have their own shops and magazines. It increased the Asian tourism in Vancouver. As a result, it increased the Asian population in the city. The business of Asian immigrants is thriving. However, the local voices of the residents changed the situation in some way. Today, new immigrants do not want to be the part of the cultural conflict; they just want to change their life by using global connection. The migration has a significant impact on the Montreal. This main language in the city is French. In Montreal people want to preserve their language and cultural identity. However, the process of globalization and nationalism could be the threat to it. The Canada faces the decline in the birth rate. The most decline process is seeing in the French speaking population known as Quebecois. In order to improve the situation with the birth rate, the immigrants are welcome in the country. However, the flow of immigrants could cause a new problem that related to the threat of the French culture. The French speaking population could remain in the minority. It is especially is dangerous for Montreal.
Topic: immigration

Immigrants do not want to learn French language when there is an opportunity to learn English as a second language. The immigrants see the success of their children in English, not in French culture. The local authority believes that the protection of the French language is a powerful means to preserve local culture. The first step to solve this issue was to stop writing English on the streets in order to create a sense of the French culture for everyone. It was a success, but today’s immigrants are a greater challenge. The authority tries to convince them that the French language is a key to success. The desperate attempt of the authority was a referendum to form its own country in order to solve the problem with language preservation. This attempt failed. Now the future of the cultural identity of Montreal depends on the immigrants. Thus, the process of immigration changes the cultural identity of Canada and makes the influence on the local residents.

The written article Our Fear oflmmigrants, constructed by Jeremy Adam Smith briefs on the causation of such issues, while providing rational explanations as well. The author claims that the overall fear can directly be linked to our genes and the evolution process as welL Throughout the entire piece, Smith utilizes pathos and logos as rhetoric‘s to help prove the given points. As we know, pathos refers to emotions, and logic. The purpose of this article is to help explain and rationalize such fears held in the hearts of the majority, while also showcasing that immigrants are human beings.

Primarily, the realization of such ideas can help cultivate a new understanding of immigrants and can eventually lead to a more openness of such instances. Through the explanation of hierarchy, evolution, and in-groups, the author reals many truths about where this fear comes from. Native Hierarchies not only feel threatened by oppositions of their own people, but newcomers alike. According to Datcher Keltner: “Any newcomer represents a threat to a person who has power”.
Topic: immigration

There is a high correlation between power and human relationships. The more power someone possesses the less concern they have for relationships and others. We can certainly see this in todays society, look at Trump for example, Throughout his entire campaign, he has discussed immigrants and deportation Whether it was the African Americans, Mexicans, or Muslims Trump has an enormous amount of power, and he doesn’t want anyone taking that from him Although, not proven, I feel that many of these ‘terrorist‘ attacks are simply made up.
Topic: immigration

There have been several inconsistencies amongst these headlines. These attempts were made to persuade citizens that immigrants are dangerous and should not be allowed into the United States, By doing so, those of high degrees of power can assure that citizens are fearing immigrants, and they cannot be a threat to the elite. One reason that such people feel so threatened, is because unlike Americans, these people haven’t been brainwashed as much. Most often, they will want changes made, whether it be small or large, no one in power wants opposition to the scheme of things. They have made the laws and regulations to fit their personal interests, not that of the people. Therefore, when someone brings opposition, others will wake up to the truth as wellt. Which is something the elite try so desperately to stop. The author utilizes logic in this argument. It is only logical that someone in power would not want someone from a foreign country to overrule their power and governance The author also used evolution to help explain why we fear those who are different coming into our lands, The fear, as explained by Smith, is not necessarily the sort of fear we would envision. We do not necessarily think they will harm us, unless we follow the propaganda mechanisms listed above, but hear of survival.

According to Mendoza- Denton: “at the end of the day, we’re motivated by resources-distribution”. What the Psychologist is referring to, is the need for basic objects, Such as food, water, and shelter. In the past, these instances were very severe and threatening, because the world wasn‘t developed as it is in modern times, Men hunted, and women gathered fruits and veggies One area could only provide so much food and water, and if more people populated it, others would have to go without. However, even though these cases are completely different now, our bodies and genetics have adapted from our ancestors.

In my opinion, the United States, amongst other countries, should feel the least amount of threat regarding resources. I say this, because this country takes resources from multiple countries, and have way more than what they need, Not to mention, that so much food is wasted and thrown out here. Food that could be used to support immigrants coming to this country. Since we no longer harvest and hunt, the scarcity is somewhat dismissed. When can you remember a time you went to the grocery store and the shelves were bare? That’s right, never, not to mention there are so many grocery stores to choose from, I remember watching a video last week, it was a man outside of Walmart. He was next to the large garbage cans in the back, there were mountains of food being thrown away, Not to mention, that most of this food was neither damaged nor expired, He asked a manager if he could take some of it and he denied him. The Corporate greed is at such high levels, that they wouldn’t even donate this food to even the needy, As we can surely see from this example, there is not in any way, shape, or form scarcity here in America.

It may exist in other countries, for instance third»w0rld countries, but certainly not here, Although, it was said that human nature is to hog resources, there are more than enough in this country, that no one would need to hog anything. Lastly, the author uses the point of in-groups to help explain such fear. However, it‘s not necessarily a few of immigrants, rather a preconditioned notion. According to Fiske: “we care deeply about our in-groups” (Smith, p. 752, 2016). An in group can refer to race, gender, age, whatever links you to another person For such examples in this essay, American citizens would be the in-group being described, However, by excluding immigrants, we are inadvertently out casting people that share more in common with us, even if they weren‘t born here Why should someone be excluded simply on the premise of where they were born? I mean, rationally such ideas really evoke emotion in audience members.
Topic: immigration

Being an out-group member in the United States personally, I can certainly relate to what these immigrants feel. No one likes to be unincluded especially for such petty reasons such as this If we started realizing that we are more connected than separated, the world would advance significantly. Through the appeals to both logic and emotion, the author reveals several conclusions as to why we ‘fear‘ immigrants in this essay. In essence, the fear is not really there, however, we are greedy and selfish for the most parts. Through the explanations of evolution, in—groups, hierarchies, we can begin to see why immigrants are not warmly welcomed into the United States. We as a human race, should certainly look past such differences and understand that conditions in other countries are far worse than our own Most often, immigrants desire to leave their homelands because of tragic issues. Whether it be war or inadequate job markets, we are all of from the same God.  thinking, we are all human, with similar goals The author uses pathos in this section, because

Over the past few decades the talk of illegal immigrants has been a major topic in today’s politics. An illegal immigrant is someone who is born within their country, but then migrates to another country to live without the proper certification of citizenship. There are many negative effects caused by illegal immigrants such as: the cost of deportation, anchor babies, and a gain in violence and crime, however, there are some positive effects that could also occur such as, a gain in tax revenue, more diversity within cultural enrichment , and an advancement in education.

The cost involving deportation has increased tremendously over the past few years. “In 2017 there were over 200,000 deportation cases reported by the end of December; (“Nyla Rush”). “Over the past 3 years more than $746.3 billion dollars was spent towards the deportation of illegal immigrants; putting the United States in more debt than it already is” (“Deportation V.

This would cause a rise in tax revenue increasing funds for military, education, and money towards canceling out debt.”Combining both citizens and immigrants together and allowing both parties to share resources could help the United States in the future” (“Reuters”). Children who are born in the United States and have foreign born parents without the certification of citizenship are known as anchor babies.

Anchor babies have increased rapidly over the past few years due to their parents wanting them to have a better life full of freedom. “In 2017 over 297,000 anchor baby births were recorded” (“Illegal Birth Rates 2017”). That’s more births than any state in the United States other than California and Texas. This cause the population to become overcrowded in return decreases the living spaces along with gaining more food consumption overall. “The birth of anchor babies cause the DHS departments and foster home communities to become more compact and full” (“Homeland Security”). With the DHS departments and foster homes reaching their maximum capacity, this causes some anchor baby children to confine in gangs searching for a place to call home.

The United States passed the immigration act making it a federal offence to support illegal immigrants and encourage them to live in the United States. The Immigration Act violates the 1st amendment of the constitution taking away every citizens freedom of speech and press. Although there is a chance of an increase in crime there are still ways to work around this. All immigrants that go through the process to gain certification of citizenship, should have thurow background checks done before they are allowed to enter and live in the United States becoming a permanent resident.

However having a diverse population in the United States could have some positive effects as long as everyone is getting treated equally. “A variety of race can help slow down racial comments and actions due to the diversity in cultural experiences” (“Helen B. Marrow”). Culture helps shape people into the men and women that they become through their passion and beliefs. Sharing and comprehending one’s beliefs, ideas, and cultural experiences could possibly lead to creating more peace throughout the nation itself. Another aspect to think about is that by bringing upon a more diverse population to the United States would help bring together a variety of collective minds to create more ideas and issues that occur everyday. By working together as a unit combined as one, it can make the world a better place.

The talk of immigration has become a very controversial topic in today’s politics and society. Although there are many reasons why foreign born immigrants could cause damage and lay waste to the United States, there are also a lot of positive effects that can possibly occur.

Yes problems such as a rise in violence could occur, but by working together to change these issues may have a more of a positive effect instead of negative.

There are many policies that simultaneously hurt and help people. However, this policy, the sanctuary policy, only hurts America’s communities, and helps America’s criminals. This policy has been around a long time in America, though many do not know that the sanctuary policy dates back even before America came into being, all the way back to the time of antiquity during the Biblical times. During the Biblical times sanctuary cities were put into place by the law of the Torah, and was known as a place for murderers and criminals of all sorts to flee to, so they could escape the punishments of their crime.
Topic: immigration

As stated in the Fair Federation for American Immigration Reform, “Sanctuary policies are laws, ordinances, resolutions, executive actions, or any initiatives that prohibit local officials from inquiring, acting on, or reporting an individuals immigrations status.” (Sanctuary Policy is Bad Public Policy, 2016). There are many forms in which sanctuary cities destroy communities, but there are three that hold the most weight of all; Illegal immigrants of sanctuary cities inflict pain on innocent people, steal from communities, and sets up a preset to break the law.
Topic: immigration

To the contrary, the democrats argue that sanctuary cities were created to protect the innocent and improve the communities. By having sanctuary cities, they believe that it promotes new immigrants to reside in an area that won’t threaten their families from being deported. Additionally, they believe that by having this policy it brings about a growing economy by the increase of the work force workers, coupled with the consumption of local products and services in the sanctuary jurisdiction. Furthermore, they believe that sanctuary cities help new immigrants to root themselves in our country and work on becoming a citizen without fearing that they will be deported for a minor speeding ticket. They also say it helps make sanctuary cities safer by providing protection for immigrants from the law, that there are more that come forward and report crimes in the area making the community safer. In other words they believe that without this policy, immigrants would not report crime when they see it, for fear that they will be reported and then deported. Correspondingly, they think the community saves money because in sanctuary cities they don’t have to detain immigrants longer than necessary. As the article The Effects of Sanctuary Policy on Crime and the Economy states, “By keeping out of federal immigration enforcement, sanctuary counties are keeping families together—and when households remain intact and individuals can continue contributing, this strengthens local economies” (Wong, T. 2017).
Topic: immigration

However, this could not be further from what is really conspiring in these sanctuary jurisdictions. When those who favor sanctuary cities claim that the crime is lower because of their statistics, they don’t take into account of the unknown population of illegal immigrants. Since these people don’t technically exist because they do not have record of them living here, their deaths among themselves would not show up on any statistic. Additionally, all illegal immigrants do not stay put inside the sanctuary cities. They move about and travel outside the sanctuary city limits. With our ease of transportation of cars, buses, and trains, it is not uncommon for an illegal immigrant to migrate much further from the original destination of their sanctuary city. Once outside of the jurisdiction, there is no accounting for acts of crime committed by these illegal immigrants. Thus, it is impossible to keep accurate account of the crimes committed by illegal immigrants outside of their jurisdiction: There are no true statistics or real account for the deaths that have happened by these illegal aliens that are protected by the sanctuary city policy. Though many have tried to be as accurate as possible, it is impossible to achieve this because of the enormous amount of unaccounted illegal immigrants that have migrated to these sanctuary cities.
Topic: immigration

The opposing view of sanctuary cities do have a valid point that there are more illegal immigrants that report crimes in sanctuary cities. Without these laws of protection illegal immigrants would be afraid to call the police to report a crime because they themselves could then be subjected to investigation as witness to the crime, but then discovered of their illegal status in the United States, resulting in arrest and deportation. So, it is true that this policy helps in this account. However, what is not stated, is that sanctuary cities also have more unaccounted crimes by illegal immigrants than reported ones, which the supporting side of sanctuary cities will never admit to. Many of these crimes by illegal immigrants that remain unaccounted for, are due to the sanctuary officials letting them go even though they have committed serious felonies. As the report by Homeland Security states, “In Fiscal Year 2017, more than 2,300 [illegal immigrants] were released because of that court decision, including more than 1,700 criminal aliens” (To Make America Safe Again, We Must End Sanctuary Cities and Remove Criminal Aliens, 2018).
Topic: immigration

These sanctuary cities not only have a massive hole in their statistics, but they are also flawed in the way they handle illegal immigrants. As stated in the article Massachusetts Sanctuary Policies Freed Hundreds of Criminals Aliens in 10-Week Period states that an illegal alien was, ‘Arrested for the rape of a Boston College student who was his Uber passenger. Despite an ICE detainer and discussion of his deportability in court, the judge granted bail of $2,500 and allowed the alien to be released and abscond without notice to ICE. He is still at large” (Vaughan, 2018). Sanctuary cities would be more safer and less harmful, if in fact they only let illegal immigrants get away with a minor offense, for example speeding. To the contrary of that idea, the truth is that there are not many cases like that for most illegal aliens that ICE wants to detain. They are arrested and then let go for offenses. For example: sexual assault, child abuse, using narcotics, dealing narcotics, and murder. They are arrested and then let free to prey again on the community of these sanctuary jurisdictions. These sanctuary cities have become an area for gang activities, terrorists, murders, and rapists to call home. They flee from one sanctuary city to the next to continue their crimes, and the people who defend this policy stand idly by and watch the havoc they cause, and turn a blind eye. This is because these people would rather let innocent people and children die, then to let themselves realize that their statistics are not accurate and that they are wrong. That they have silently been destroying these communities in the pretense that they are helping other countries victims, when they have only been protecting the criminals of another country. For example, as stated in the article Massachusetts Sanctuary Policies Freed Hundreds of Criminal Aliens in 10-Week Period states, “In December 2017 a citizen of Guatemala was arrested in Lynn, Mass., for armed assault to murder and other charges, but was released by the Essex County sheriff despite an ICE detainer and arrest warrant” (Vaughan, 2018). To let this type of behavior to continue is to knowingly let illegal aliens, murder and inflict pain on the innocent right before America’s justice system’s eyes. This is not what the United States stands for; the United States puts its citizens before all other nations victim, the United States brings justice to those who have been wronged, and the United States does not protect those who have taken another life.
Topic: immigration

In addition, the United States does not tolerate being taken advantage of. This is exactly what this policy does, it takes advantage of America’s communities, by stealing jobs from the citizens who were born here and raised here. While the supporting side of sanctuary cities says that this policy helps boost the economy. This is done by bringing in more workers and the consumption of more local products in the area. What it doesn’t think to mention is the flip side of this purported boosted economy. The other side of this is not so glorious. The truth is that the masses of illegal immigrants that sanctuary cities attracts work for the lowest of wages, and the result of this is that American citizens are losing their jobs because they cannot compete against such low wages that are offered by these illegal immigrants. So yes, it looks like the economy is growing, but not for legal American citizens. Contrary, they are being pushed out of their own community making room for more illegal aliens to come.
Topic: immigration

The supporters of this policy also do not care to mention or realize themselves, the overwhelming taxes that are caused by illegal immigrants. These taxes are not only derived from the sanctuary jurisdiction, but from every community in America. As stated in the article Fair Federation for American Immigration Reform states that, ‘Illegal immigration is a huge burden to state and local governments, costing taxpayers an estimated $113 billion in 2013.’ (Sanctuary Policy is Bad Public Policy, 2017). As many would like to think that their taxes are rebuilding America to make it a better place, they are also being used to support a policy that does more harm than good, and the general public has no idea that the policy even exists. Taxes are based on the public knowing that their money is contributing to their communities. In this scenario, the public is oblivious to this donation of their money. The argument can be made that many individuals don’t agree what taxes are used for even if it’s used for fixing roads. However, this is not to better America if it is giving criminals of another country sanctuary, and avoiding the consequences of their crimes in their country as well as the crimes they commit in America. The taxes that are used to support this policy are paving the road for more officials in power of their local district, to go ahead and disregard the law, and make loopholes to bypass it. Instead, these taxes for this policy could be used to improve American lives, but because of the ignorance of the real statistics, no one is in great opposition against the policy.
Topic: immigration

Equally important as the other problems with the sanctuary policy, is what this policy represents. It sets a preset for not only the citizens of America, but for future/current immigrants trying to become a citizen of America. As stated in the article Sanctuary and sanctimony: Defying the law is defying the law—even if it’s immigration law, “It was Southern states in 1861, like sanctuary cities now, that believed their sovereign authority was whatever they wanted it to be.” (Kane, 2017). If the U.S. starts to let a few laws slide to permit local officials to see what is just and right in their own eyes, America is creating a slippery slide downhill for upholding and respecting the law. When the law is watered down to let a few ‘innocents’ abide within the borders, it also gives dangerous criminals the opportunity to take advantage of the weak policies, for their gain. This is exactly what this policy does, it permits illegal immigrants to stay in America, without any consequences. This is an example to other immigrants of what the United States will tolerate when foreigners that break the law, which by many examples over the years have shown is that the United States has tolerated a lot of violence from these illegal immigrants. On the other hand, in other countries when a United States citizen breaks their laws, only death or a life sentence might await them, the word tolerance isn’t in their vocabulary when their laws are broken by a foreigner. America is not like any other country. The United States does not resort to the means that many other nations do when certain situations arise. However, the United States of America is comprised of free and liberated people, that are intelligent enough to know when a policy makes them vulnerable to the people who wish nothing more than to destroy America. Consequently, by breaking the law it not only hurts the future of America. It sets an example to all future immigrants that America does not uphold their own laws, and continues to treat law abiding immigrants the same as the illegal immigrants. That even though they went through the long process of becoming a citizen, there are those who can get away with skipping it entirely and doing as they please. This is setting the example that there is no benefit or consequence from obeying and breaking the law.

In conclusion, there are two type of laws that exist: One that hurts Americans and the other that improves American’s lives. The sanctuary city policy is not in the best interest for the communities of America. In addition, the policy is unfair to the immigrant who are truly trying to improve their families lives by becoming a citizen of America. By helping these illegal immigrants in this manner, it is only hurting Americans by pushing them out of their own communities. It is also hurting American’s by crippling the government’s ability to protect the communities from foreign threats. This policy is not on the road to improvement, it continues to spiral downwards, due to ignorance of those who choose to believe the fantasy of what this policy was supposed to do. America becomes more advanced every year, yet it is still holding on to a policy that dates back to ancient times, to a primitive time where a criminal can escape his crimes by fleeing to another jurisdiction. There were times in the distant past where justice was a scarce thing to happen, and where murderers were the ones who could continue happily with their lives after taking another’s life. It is horrific to read about it in history books, and the injustice is disturbing. Yet, this same line of thinking is upheld as a policy for America, and families that have had an illegal immigrant take the life of their loved one, have to live with the same injustice as those in a primitive time. The policy is a broken one, and could easily be replaced by a better policy, that would actually function better for both American citizen and immigrants trying to transition into a citizen of America. A policy that allows the U.S. government to protect the communities from foreign threats, that doesn’t contrast against the laws of America, and doesn’t steal from the United States citizens. In addition, we need a new policy that sets an example that America treats the law-abiding immigrants different from those who break the United States laws. The United States is an advanced country that works to improve its citizens lives, and could immensely improve this horrible policy, but this will only come about if America becomes aware of the many flaws of this policy. There is hope to improve this policy, but that is only possible if those who favor the policy come to recognize the many negatives outweigh the positives. However, if those who favor sanctuary cities are not willing to even recognize, let alone fix these glaring problems, then the policy as is needs to be repealed. America is here to help the victims of other countries, and the families that wish to build homes, but there are many ways to go about it than to bend the law. New laws, ordinances and resolutions can be made to replace an outdated and harmful policy that America currently has.

Border Security, Cooperation, and Act Now Drug War Prevention Act of 2013, also known as H.R.72, gives the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland security the authorization to supply to a state on a U.S. border up to 500 additional U.S border patrol agents and many more different type of agents as well. This directs the Secretary to increase their number in U.S. border patrol power boats and helicopters as well as equip such motor vehicles with portable computers with access to law enforcement databases and quite a few other things in addition to those two I stated.

It aims to help improve on keeping illegal immigrants away from the southern border and under control. It also aims to keep the safety of others away from any harm that any illegal immigrants might do. Although the number of illegal immigrants will decrease, it will require spending more money to produce more enforcement to take action. This would be a more negative affect instead of a positive affect on and for the government. This puts a lot of pressure on them to make sure no one who is illegal gets through that border. The bill aims to affect illegal immigrants by stopping them for going any further than past the border.

This bill affects other citizens by keeping them safe from illegal immigrants who may act violently and dangerously. It may also increase the taxes that the citizens pay since the government is going to need more enforcement to help the citizens. The arguments for the bill are improving the protection around the southern U.S. border and the illegal immigrant decrease. The argument against the bill is that the prices as well as a few other things will cost more than the benefits will do. This bill was made to make sure everyone feels safe and cared for in their country.

S. economy, but more often it focuses the burden that the immigrants have for the people in the community. While some argue that illegal immigrants are a burden on the U.S. Economy, whereas some believe that they are a vital part of the society. Statistically, illegal immigrants have equally benefited and deteriorated the U.S. economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Census, “As of 2017, there are more than 11.3 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, making up 3.4% of the total population” (Severe). And around 10 million of them participate in the U.S. workforce, contributing a significant amount to the overall GDP of the United States.

Out of all the multiple benefits they have had on the U.S. economy, undocumented immigrants pose a huge threat to the taxpayers. As Congress debates the contours of immigration reform, many arguments have been made on economic grounds. Undocumented workers, some suggest, undercut wages and take jobs that would otherwise go to Americans. “Worse, the argument goes, many use social programs, like hospitals and schools, that cost taxpayers and add to our $16 trillion national debt” (Davidson). Undocumented immigrants pose a threat to state and local tax burdens. They continue to use education, health care and other welfare benefits under the state and local tax payers. Labor economists have concluded that undocumented workers have “lowered the wages of U.S. adults without a high-school diploma by anywhere between 0.4 to 7.4 percent” (Edsall). Though undocumented immigrants, pose a risk to the economy, but they also contribute to the overall GDP of the nation, and thus contributing to the welfare of the nation. Most undocumented immigrants are seen taking jobs of a driller and plumber, because those are the jobs that rare American adults would like to take up, for obvious reasons of low growth rates.
