Refugee Boy is a novel written by Zephaniah that addresses the issue of refugees. It’s about a 14-year-old boy named Alem...

In the 1880s, America started its period of rapid industrialization, and this would ignite the second big wave of immigration into America. Most of these immigrants were coming from Southern, Eastern, and Central Europe with some of them being Italians and Jews.

This wasn’t the first...

“Because I don't want to be a white coolie in my own country because it's not our country anymore” (Wright). This quote originates from the 1992 Australian film, Romper Stomper, which depicts Hando, the leader of a neo-nazi gang, and his reasons for his nazi obsession. This quote is interesting as it outlines a society of multiculturalism but also hints at ideologies of white nationalism and racism which quite thoroughly encompasses what Romper Stomper is about. Furthermore, the themes of...

Over time more policies were set in place to target people because of their race and ethnicity. Moreover, people today are targeted because of their...

With much speculation, this topic has become a very intriguing argument. What people must understand is that various factors applicable to the United States...

I will illuminate some of the many ways the English and then, later, Americans used stereotypes and propaganda to marginalize the Irish, and much worse. Their intentions were to defame and demoralize the Irish people so they could conquer and control them. I will examine how America worked on immigration issues in the 1800s. I will show...

It granted “protected status” to immigrants who had arrived in the United States before the age of sixteen, meaning, it allowed immigrants to remain in the U.S. While DACA did offer individuals the opportunity to work, obtain a driver’s license, along with a few other privileges, it did not offer them a pathway to citizenship. It simply meant that they would...

Immigration in National Security has proven to be an infeasible task for Congress. Congress has not passed any reform bills regarding immigration in 1986. Terror acts on U.S. soil have been perpetuated to highlight the role immigration played in National Security during that same period. Under the Supremacy Clause, Congress holds extensive power to regulate immigration which, at times, invalidates state and local laws (Price 2007). Recent history has been fixated on the Deferred Action for Childhood Advents (DACA) which...
