chapter 3 Section #1 Due Sunday Night
Journal Topic: (After the Chapter 2 Test, answer this journal Question and start Outlining Chapter 3 Section #1)
Nationalism is becoming a very hot topic with the influx of immigrants from around the world (Syrian refugees entering Europe, etc, etc). The subject of immigration has never been more at the forefront of American political thought. During the American Revolution, and the French Revolution, people had to "decide" where their allegiances lay. Many of the colonists were still loyal to England, and that caused a problem. In France, many "heads rolled" as a result of allegiances being questioned (We will see the reasons inside Chapter 3). Looking at our current immigration issue there are 11 million (estimated number) people who are undocumented in the USA today. What would you do with them if you were the person setting the policy?
Things to consider:
1. Path to citizenship? if yes, what are the requirements, timeframes, etc
2. Deportation? how would you arrange that and who or what pays for the costs
3. Arrest and detention? time frame, how long, who pays for the cost of incarceration
4. Identification cards? allows undocumented to stay but does not grant amnesty, and do all 11 million get this? if not who qualities?
5. "Birthright citizenship" question - keep as is or modify
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868, and granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States,” which included former slaves recently freed. Would you keep that Amendment in place or modify it? if so how?
