Using the current module's readings and documentary as context, examine issues of Asian immigration that are being discussed in the current political climate. The past election year saw GOP candidates vying for nomination and discussed immigration as a result, with a range of comments on everything from the construction of border walls to the mass deportation of the undocumented populations in America to the danger of "anchor babies."  (Links to an external site.)

As a part of Trump's presidential campaign promises, he has tackled the idea of tougher restrictions on immigration, including imposing travel bans, building a border wall with Mexico (Links to an external site.)

For this discussion though I'm asking that you consider those impacted by the recent DACA rescission. This is population that has been seeking status adjustment with federal legislation that has been in the works for over a decade now. These immigrants generally did not have a choice in the decision to migrate (either too young to understand and/or brought over by their parents and relatives) and grow up in all respects "typically" American, often with little ties to the countries from which their parents migrated. (A well-known example is the case of Filipino American Jose Antonio Vargas who became a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist before he revealed his status in a New York Times article (Links to an external site.)

). However, as these youth grow up they realize that as undocumented immigrants they encounter numerous barriers in education and employment, as well as facing the constant threat of deportation back to a land that they are completely unfamiliar with.

While federal legislation is still pending, states (like California) have taken the initiative to extend opportunities to undocumented youth, allowing for in-state tuition and access to financial aid that they would have otherwise been denied. Moreover, the Obama administration's Executive Action (Links to an external site.)

s were geared toward allowing these youth some semblance of "normalcy."

However, they are still considered "undocumented," and with the rescission of DACA, they face a bigger dilemma. For this discussion, I'd like you to consider whether undocumented youth be allowed a chance to adjust their status. If these youth are willing to get an education and find gainful employment, should they be given that opportunity to do so, or will this be a burden (and if that's the case, then what do you think should be done to address that situation)? Or are such qualifications even necessary?
