Asian immigrants



The diversity of immigrants living in the western states of America is profound, especially in major cities. That is also the case in large cities on the east coast. Immigrants tend to settle in major metropolitan areas as present-day enclaves still exist.

Asians for the most part settle in California and Washington State. The availability of Asian supermarkets selling Asian by-products make the adjustment to live in this country easier for them. That is the reason why they did not move to the Midwest in large numbers because living in California amongst their own specific groups or race gives a feeling of not leaving their home country. It is likely that the current trend of large numbers of Asians migrating to US will continue for a significant period of time.

Criminal immigrants



This is a case of immigrants deported because of criminal acts. In the case of these two deportees, they probably commit crimes multiple times over the years to cause them to be deported. From 1960s until present day, it will not be a one time violation of the law. As far as Immigration’s refusal to grant them entry into US even with a subpoena by lawmakers is the right decision. First, they definitely already serve time in prison for their crimes before being deported. So there are no warrants for them. Once they get back in US, they can disappear into society as illegals and commit crimes again. Two, once someone is deported, they are automatically barred from entering US for 10 years. Three, we do not need more criminals in this country.

Illegal children



Every election year, politicians running for the Office of the President of United States discussed about comprehensive immigration reform. That reform never happened as soon as the elections were over. Either it was put aside over other priorities or members of Congress did not agree on what comprehensive immigration reform is supposed to be. All these years, immigration policies remained pretty much the same. I expect the same to happen after this year’s election is over.

Hillary Clinton said in a debate that she will not deport children entering the United States illegally. What she did not discuss was what to do with these children. They have to be clothed, fed and educated. Which government agency is supposed to be responsible for them? The government is just a temporary solution. Eventually these children will need homes to live in. An adoption program is a possibility but the adoption rate will not be 100%, so what happens to the rest of them? They will likely stay in foster homes until they turn 18.
