United States Constitution
In the introduction of the book They Take our Jobs and 20 a nonher(prenominal) myths well-nigh immigration written by Aviva Chomsky, Chomsky picks a initiate the words in the United States Constitution to support her belief that although immigrants, specifically Latino/Hispanic immigrants, be a large part in todays U. S. society, they stillness do not have any rights or justification from the laws of the Constitution. She states that many another(prenominal) an(prenominal) of the arguments against immigrants in the United States stem from serious misconceptions that have been root from history up until present day.The view that immigration only brings well-nigh more problems and segregations for the host country has been on-going in history. When it comes down to it, a dewy-eyed analogy could be made it is difficult for the citizens or homeowners to be oblige to house immigrants or strangers in their own country or home. This intellect is then exaggerated and made extreme wh en times be snarly or the people of the United States need a scapegoat to endue their problems or the government/societal issues on.The finger is pointed at the group of outcastsimmigrants. They are easy targets. Easy because immigrants who are non-citizens are legally deprived of many rights the U. S. Constitution provides for citizens. What many fail to realize, as pointed out in Chacons Introduction in No One is Illegal is that immigrants who are here, doing, living, and twist a life here in the United States contribute a great deal to the overall miserliness and working class.They take part in the jobs that require heavy manual labor and provide the sanctioned jobs for many large corporations in the United States at minimum wage. balance assured, it is probable that many of their jobs should be compensated at a higher(prenominal) pay for the type of work they are doing, since most are jobs that many of the middle and higher class citizens cringe at when they think about it. I have speculated that the amount of wage pay or net today is based upon ones credentials or pick up rather than the manual load or extremities of the job at hand.This correlates to the jobs that many immigrants take on, they do a lot of work for little pay. They work for huge well known corporations and provide the labor needed to observe production at a particular rate. When times are lummox and jobs are difficult to find, like right now, the blame is put upon the immigrants who endure these types of jobs. It is said that they stole our jobs and that is why we are unemployed and out of work. However, when looking for at the core of the problem, it is not that the immigrants are ith jobs but rather the circumstance that the higher salary paying jobs and higher wage paying jobs are being let go first due to the downward economy and replaced with other persons who may be less qualified but could still complete the job and task at hand. As discussed, immigrants are a big par t of todays world and the fact that they belong their daily lives just as a citizen would, immigrants are still not granted certain simple rights a newborn child is presumptuousness at birth in the United States due to biases, beliefs and judgments based on history classes, politicians, and the media.
