First synthesis essay draft:
Some people may wonder if people of immigration/undocumented people should have rights or not in the United States. This entire concept as a whole is such a complex phenomenon; so many profound effects take place. However, one may say granting rights to immigrants can center towards human rights in general, so what this means is that immigrants should be seen as human too and not just some secondary citizen. One may also say that countries have the right to prioritize or, in other words, exclude their own rights and resources from their own citizens. However, I think that all citizens, regardless of legal background, should have the same rights. People think that undocumented immigrants are uneducated or criminals that lack proper speaking skills in English; however, we can’t categorize all undocumented immigrants into a bad category. And at the end of the day, regardless of their criminal status or uneducated status, they are human just like us who should be granted rights just like everyone else. While others are compelled to leave their own countries, which can be due to either environmental disasters or employment/higher wages, it is important to realize if America wants to thrive, it needs to be filled with the diversity and creativity of people from all over the world. You can’t just gatekeep a country to certain people; it shows biases and bigotry. According to “Why We Dehumanize Illegal Immigrants: A US Mixed-Methods Study” by David M. Markowitz and Paul Slovic, it states, “Many immigrants are dehumanized based on social and physiological phenomena; because of this, immigrants are treated inhumanely, whether that be because of dehumanizing metaphors or dehumanizing judgements.” This evidence surrounds us with a question: why would such people go through such dehumanizing methods to put one down? I think that all these methods are creating even more barriers for immigrants and America. Now let’s talk about the economic impact of immigration. Immigrants would often fill out jobs that are more likely to be done by native-born people/workers who are very unwilling to try and contribute to the overall economic growth; however, immigrants are known to create multiple jobs and spur innovation. Thus, the economic impact of immigration is positive; this has pretty much shown how immigrants had to work for a fundamental human right by reducing their poverty. According to “A Summary
and Analysis of Amy Tan’s “Mother Tongue.” It states
“In Amy Tan’s mother, what happens is Amy Tan’s mother, who’s an immigrant, is judged based off the way she speaks, which is broken English. Since she’s not from America, she speaks broken English and is judged by society for speaking this way. However, Amy Tan’s mother, after fleeing from America, has faced financial and emotional struggles due to her difficult past.” So overall what this means is immigrants have a deep traumatic background mainly due to environmental factors like wars This evidence also means that there is a social structure in America for immigrants who speak broken English, which is often depicted as a negative trait in America.
It can often be seen as a bias if you think about whether immigrants/undocumented people should have rights in the United States. Let’s say if you say all humans should be treated with respect regardless of background, it can still be seen as a bias. Let’s also say that you think undocumented immigrants shouldn’t have rights in the United States due to them not contributing to society; all these opinions will always land on being biased, which shows that this is a very complex issue with varied perspectives. According to Anderson, Ron J., “Why We Should Care for the Undocumented.” AMA Journal of Ethics, vol. 10, no. 4, 2019 , pp. 245–248, shows how people tend to lean towards being more bias towards the rights of immigrants/undocumented people Many Americans tend to think that human rights are a fundamental right, especially for citizens or non-citizens receiving health care. Because of the majority of positive bias towards immigrants/undocumented people, many funded services were created, which many immigrant families use for support. Overall this just shows that many Americans in today’s society think that anyone who goes against immigrants of a noncitizen background can be seen as corrupt or evil very easily due to the injustices they have already faced. Now let’s move onto the challenges many immigrants have faced due to their non-citizenship background. We can most definitely say that immigrants face having a lack of healthcare and access to education and even housing. Now this can mainly be due to discrimination or policies that are targeted towards certain groups of people that can limit quality education, and having no quality education in the United States means that you are unable to really contribute and thrive in today’s society. According to a scholarly article called Zajacoval, A. (2002). “Constructing the Reality of Immigrant Life. Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness,” 11(1), Page 69–79. Shows how an average immigrant must know their facts and ethos better than the average American citizen, and that is mainly due to the discrimination they are going to face off rip. This scholarly article overall shows how even without the targeted policies towards immigrants or the poverty many immigrants face, they’ll eventually run into external challenges like having a lack of education or adapting to languages or social injustice.
Translation 2: 
Throughout history immigrants/undocumented immigrants have always fought for their rights in the United States. The type of rights I’m talking about are more paths to citizenship, like voting. You should be allowed to give your opinion on politics despite your citizen background. This is mainly due to injustices and prejudiced actions against immigrants. We can overcome this obstacle in the United States by simply granting immigrants and undocumented immigrants the same citizen rights as a United States citizen. However, one may say granting rights to immigrants can center towards human rights in general, so what this means is that immigrants should be seen as humans too and not just some secondary citizen.
One may also say that countries have the right to prioritize, or in other words exclude, their own rights and resources from their own citizens.

In Amy’s mother’s case, what happens is Amy’s mother, who’s an immigrant, is judged Based on the way she speaks, which is broken English, since she’s not from America, she speaks broken English and is judged upon by society for speaking this way.

It can often be seen as a bias if you think about whether immigrants/undocumented people should have rights in the United States. Now let’s discuss some biased topics of immigration.
Let’s say if you say all humans should be treated with respect regardless of background; it can still be seen as bias. Let’s also say that you think undocumented immigrants shouldn’t have rights in the United States due to them not contributing to society; all these opinions will always land on being biased, which shows that this is a very complex issue with varied perspectives.

This can also be due to the injustices non-citizens have faced already.

Now moving on to some reasons why immigrants are very vulnerable to immigration policies, one reason could be many immigrants are granted limited access, like, for example, the Remain in Mexico policy, often referred to as MPP. This therefore forced all immigrants to wait in Mexico for their immigration to be processed. This policy was mainly forced against immigrants to keep immigrants in Mexico while their cases were being solved, or in other words, processed. Another reason why immigrants are so vulnerable in the United States has to be mainly because of employer penalties, which influence restricting hiring for immigrants. In other words, let’s move onto how employers are impacted by immigration.
Employers who go against the policy of restricting undocumented immigrants from hiring would face civil fines and could most likely have their business license taken or revoked. Evidence to support this would be from a YouTube video: “U.S. Immigration Policy and the Violation of Human Rights.” Michelle Brane’s TEDxBerkeley talk informs us how immigration policies mostly target women and children, or in other words, people who are trying to start a future in the United States. This basically shows how the United States government doesn’t want people of non-citizenship to have a bright future in America.
To summarize everything, in total, immigration has definitely had a historically major impact on society. Immigration has also contributed to things such as cultural change. Without immigration there wouldn’t be as much diversity. Immigration helps enrich a society’s economy through hard labor; most immigrants fill in the roles of being construction workers, agriculture workers, healthcare workers, etc. Most immigrants contribute to society more than an actual citizen of the United States, so in essence immigrants work harder mainly because of societal pressures they will endure. Now while many people try and suppress immigrants, it’s safe to say that immigrants actually help stabilize populations that have a labor gap in the workforce
