Blake, Eben. "Immigration In US 2015 Reaches A New Record With Immigrant Population Of
42.1 Million People, Study Finds." International Business Times. International Business
Times, 13 Aug. 2015. Web. 05 Nov. 2015.
In this article, Blake tells us that the population of immigration has hit a record high of 42.1
million in the second quarter of this year. The number of immigrants rose by 1.7 million since
the same time last year. Immigrants currently comprise 13.3 percent of the nation's total
population, reaching the highest level in the nation in 105 years. Immigration has become a
heated issue on the presidential campaign trail, with Republicans offering pointed criticism of the
nation's acceptance of undocumented immigrants. While much of the discussion has surrounded
immigrants from Mexico, migration to the United States from its southern neighbor dropped 17.7
percent from 2010 through 2013. The article concludes that the most common way that
immigrants are coming into the nation is from New York and Los Angeles.

This article says that approximately 47 million Latinos currently live in the United States, and
nearly 25 percent of them are undocumented. The country is a very different country from just a
generation ago - culturally, socially, and demographically. Its presumed core values have been
transformed largely by the changes wrought by immigration and ethnicity. A multicultural
society has, in 2008, elected a multicultural president. It also examines immigration discourse,
framed in terms of fear and security, and the evolution of the US immigration policy. Latino

immigration is presented as a force that has shaped the nation's past and continues to shape the
economic, demographic, and cultural future of the United States. This article then concludes that
government policy makers should encourage a more tolerant, multicultural society by integrating
Latino immigrants into the social, economic, and political fabric of the nation.
Egan, Patrick J. "This Chart Explains How Trumps Stand on Immigration Is Hurting the
Republican Party." Washington Post. The Washington Post, 24 Aug. 2015. Web. 06 Nov.
2015.
This article was written in response to Donald Trumps candidacy for President for the following
year. Donald Trump is hitting hard against immigrants that are in the United States. He says he
wants to kick them out, and build a wall so that they wont come back in. All of this information
that he is saying is really making the Republican Party look bad. This article explains how
Trumps actions are really hurting the Party. Over the last decade, American public support for
immigrantsand specifically, for allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain U.S. citizenship
if they meet certain requirementshas been remarkably strong. When asked if immigrants help
or hurt the United States, all the polls conducted since 2012 show that helps leads by a slim
plurality over hurts. By the end of the article, overall, U.S. opinion on the issue of immigration
has been remarkably stable and supportive over the past decade. Who knows what will happen
when election time comes.
Obama, Barack. "Take a Stand for Immigration Reform." Organizing for Action. Organization
for Action, 2013. Web. 08 Nov. 2015.
In this last article, we see President Obama write an Immigration Reform for the country. In
2013, the Senate passed a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill that would have
strengthened our communities, our economy, and our country's future. Representatives from both
Uribe 4
sides of the aisle have voiced their support for comprehensive immigration reform, and
Americans across the country havent wavered. And yet, House Speaker John Boehner and
House leadership refused to even bring the bill up for a vote. The President's executive actions
will give parents of American citizens or legal resident children who have lived in the U.S. for
more than five years relief from deportation if they register with the government, undergo
background checks, and pay taxes. It will also allow immigration enforcement officials to focus
resources on deporting felons, not families. The article then concludes by saying that the
President could only do much on his own. Only Congress can finish the job and fix our broken
immigration system in a permanent, meaningful way.
