Nation of Immigrants: The Beginning of Racism and Discrimination

Our nation is strong when we accept the diversity of ideas and contributions from this nation of immigrants. For people of all ages, races, and ethnicities to feel free and pursue happiness — it’s more than a Dream. It’s an idea, a glimmer of hope, for immigrants who come to America seeking better opportunities for their families and be able to move one and progress with their lives. During history, we can see how immigrants were judged by their skin color and their traditions. From the beginning of this country till know we can see that this country has been divided by the cause of racism and the way our political system expresses their beliefs without knowing the consequences that can affect the people of this country.

Trump has been making hateful remarks to immigrants and his violation of the rights of these people during the election of 2016, Donald Trump was elected the new president of the United States. During his campaign, Trump said, “[He] will deport immigrants who came to the United States illegally”. Trump also said in his presidential campaign that “Mexico is not sending us their best; criminals, drug dealers, and rapists are crossing the Border”. When Trump said that in his campaign, Hispanic people were terrified and instead of taking a step forward into the light of freedom, they were forced to take a step back into the darkness where they would never see the light of the American Dream again.

When President Trump took over office, he started to make the Latino community in the United States afraid by changing the immigration laws and saying how dangerous the Latinos are to the US. Trump stamens provoke of bringing the scares of racism back to the Hispanic and immigrants’ communities by attacking and saying that they just coming to this country to steal American jobs and bringing their problems while they are crossing the border. The characteristics can speak from how trump administration see the way of seeing the differences of cultures that we have in the United States from their views. All this ate that this administration is feeding anger to the white supremacist groups. They believe that immigrants are invading their country and are afraid of being the minority, these groups are aware trough the country by making an aggressive campaign to finance their activities to fight for what is right for them. Most of these groups all they want to be part of a movement because they want to be known as a superior class.

On March 26, 1790, the first naturalization law in the United States was ordered by Congress. This law would provide citizens to free white person with good characteristics. Most of the people that got their citizen was able to stay in Texas and started their new lives. The people who would protect the border across the United States and Mexico were the Texas ranger, they built an electric fence that would keep the Mexican from crossing to the US. Years later Sam Houston describe that all American would never mix with the undocumented Mexican while they are where leaving in American lands. All countries have borders and restrictions. They must because they must make decisions about who can enter their country and who can be a citizen. Nations can’t function without basic laws. but the remains that the rangers decide to take over their lands and the low power that these Mexican families had they didn’t have a choice

During 1848 United States won the Texas elections and the battle against Mexico for Texas. they were a lot of contempt against Mexican and this type of anger against this people spread to the famous American poet Walt Whitman wish he wrote in 1845 “what has miserable, inefficient Mexico with her superstition, her burlesque upon freedom, her actual tyranny by the few over the many”. Whitman wanted Mexico to join the United State in the great mission of colonizing the new world. The colonizers believe in the manifest destiny that made them believes were destined by God to govern the North America continent and would make the United States a superior nation. The whites would use this power to justified lands and start expanding to the west close to the Mississippi River. Analyst locates the emerge of the white supremacy has the ideology of the colonizers from then this people started stealing Mexican lands and control the population because there was a low-intensity war against Mexican population during that time of year.

The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1865 it was extended to every southern state by the 1870 and became a power to white southern resistance for the reconstruction of policies of the republican party. The KKK or how is known Ku Klux Klan is a long American history of violence and hate torse African American, Jews, immigrants, gays, and Catholics. Know days we can see that these groups are coming out of their shadow thinking that the new waves of immigrants are going to become the majority in the united states. This white supremacy doesn’t think that we all created equal they think whites are more intelligent than other raises. they believe that God created the white raise to be the leader of nations and to conquer every place they put a foot on. Their clan are strict let’s say if one of the members need a blood transfusion they won't take any other blood beside a with man blood because they say if his blood is touch by an African American or immigrant is not acceptable they rather die then take a someone el that is not white blood.

These clans groups want to defend their race be white because they want to continue protecting what their ancestors fought for and because of that, they would not be white today. President Trump on his speeches has been saying racial discrimination to woman, immigrants, and Jews. This type of discrimination feed these clans groups and empower them to ate other raises. They say because of all these immigrants waves the American people don’t have a job because the immigrants are stealing their jobs. They think that is not fair that people who were here since a long time before the arrival of immigrants are taking what they believe is there’s. but what these groups don’t realize is that this immigrant makes a big important part in this country by helping to make jobs and make the United State economy grow. The immigrants have done it from decades it doesn’t not only to a strong economy but a country that is diverse and rich of culture, religion and a country where you can live democratically and openly free.

Not all people have the same believes on august of 2010 during a protest of counter-protesters of a United the Right rally Charlottesville, Virginia plowed his 2010 dodge challenger where the protests were happening. The driver ended up wounding 35 people and a 32-year-old woman was killing. This catastrophe brought anger to the country, the racism has growth with the Trump administration anger against communities that they are just here for a better future for their families. These people get their flue of motivation by the president

From insult to racist stamen and discrimination all that change to gunfire against the Latinos on a Saturday morning. On August 3, 2019, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius emerge accused of carrying a gun and making a deadly mass shooting at Walmart in the border city of El Paso. Patrick had in mind that the main target was to kill Mexican most of his victims were Hispanic and eight were Mexican nationals. The authorities say that before the attack, Cruises made a racist screed on social media. Crusius motivation was some of President Trump divisive rhetoric that he has said about immigrants in the United States. People that want to hurt these immigrants can be a danger for their lives, but we can’t change that because it was part of how America was founded. The members of this clans that’s how they were raised since kids, our disadvantage is that with the technology that we have known days it makes it harder to stop this violence.

I believe that our characteristics can define the way people see us from their views. This can define the way our character speaks from our self and what we can archive from it. But the controversial issue that we can argue and see the reality of an immigrant. As a son of a parent who migrated to the United States from Mexico, I believed that immigrants are the correct side for what America sees or believed. But something that we must understand that this land is the land of the free. The majority of immigrants come here to contribute to society by working and looking for a better life of what they were living in their common countries.

When President Trump talks about his major policy proposal he defined that he would build the greatest wall America ever had and the beginning with the most complete and efficient border security packages. One of President Trump immigration new policy’s is to end chain migration. Chain migration let immigrants from the foreign county who are US citizens to give their family members like parents, brothers, sons, and wife’s legal status in the US. Trump thinks that by this United State is going to be overpopulated of immigrants from this law. but thanks to this chain migration a lot of new jobs can be created, and the economy will grow form all the new jobs.

Sanctuary cities are created precisely to protect immigrants. Seeing all this ate hurts me especially because I’m a Latino seeing how my community is afraid of Trump. Some of this immigrant doesn’t have a way to express their feelings, because they don’t have legal status in this country. Know why Trump decides to talk bad about this community the one that doesn’t have a way of decision and expression. Some of these Latinos have work in Trump businesses there the ones who cook and clean the president famous hotels and even his gulf clubs. Trump isn’t only hurting the Hispanic community, he is also hurting their ambition to grow their dreams and their future. The United Sate was built by immigrants, these people are the ones who farm our food, make our food and are dedicated to working how are they “criminals, drug dealers, and rapists”? All I see is just people trying to reach their dreams without having a limit to what they can do, but that’s what President Trump is doing: limiting their options to become greater.
