Immigration in the United States
By:Sean Cox
Community College of Vermont
Immigration Is The Backbone of
America
President Obama Has...
● Doubled Funding on the Southwestern Border
● Hired 3,000 More Border Agents
● Created a Pathway To Citizenship For 11.5
Million Illegal Immigrants
● Moved Old Immigration Cases To The Front Of
Court Dockets In Hopes Of Providing Relief For
the Courts and a Fresh Start
Most Controversial
● The DREAM Act
-Allows children of illegal immigrant families to
become residents, and provides them with an
expedited process in becoming American
Citizens
Arguments For and Against
DREAMers
● For: These children were not responsible for
the way in which they ended up in the U.S.
● For: These Children will provide valuable assets
to America in the future
● Against: Injecting already over-burdened
schools with more children the states, and
school districts cannot afford.
● Against: Takes attention away from American
students.
How Can Social Workers Help
● Advocacy- According to the code of ethics a
social worker is required to advocate where
there is prejudice or discrimination.
● Organize- Rally support for the immigrant
cause by agitating the population into action.
● Appeal to Lawmakers- Write letters reaching
out to Senators and members of the House of
Representatives, telling them where social
workers stand on the issue.
Major Problems:
Social Security Fraud
● Sometimes, not even a card is required for job
openings.
● Immigrants have been found to make more
than one social security number under different
names. Then they collect federal benefits and
send the money back to their families.
● Using dead peoples social security number in
order to trade federal benefits for drugs and
other illegal substances.
Solutions
● Biometric social security cards that would
employ retina scan and thumb print technology
instead of a number.
● E-Verify- Internet data-base that analyzes a
potential employees I-9 forms and tax returns.
Is There Hope For American
Immigration In The Future?
● Yes
● We Can: Secure the border in hopes of
preventing a problem like this from reoccurring
in ten years.
● We Can: Provide a pathway to citizenship for
11.5 million illegal immigrants
Should Social Workers Participate In
Policy Formation Regarding
Immigration?
● Yes
● It is a social workers job to study public policy
formation.
● It is a social workers job to advocate against
discrimination.
Did This Project Change My Career
Goals
● No
● I would still like to be a drug and alcohol
counselor
