My Experience Writing Blogs

There is a total of ten blogs that I wrote in a period of eight weeks. The blogs are about immigration; and they give good information that is never given to or paid any attention by the American people. The experience is incredible not only because I was able to express my beliefs but also because I was able to do something that I have never done before. I remember the day that Mrs. Julie Peluso (English professor) said that we were going to be writing blogs, I felt intimidated because the word made it sound impossible to do. I had no idea on what a blog was at the time. I thought that it was going to be the hardest thing that I would have to do in college. Mrs. Peluso assured me that I was going to be fine and I am glad that I was given this opportunity to write blogs.

This type of class is the class that keeps the student motivated because it gives the student an opportunity to write about their interests. I feel that I have been able to not only enhance my writing but also to learn a way of communicating through the internet. This way of communication is still new to many people, in fact most of the people that I have talked to about what a blog is, I have had to explain to them what it is. I am very happy with the outcome that I have had in my English Class. As a student, I would recommend this professor to anyone who has to take this course. She always found ways to gain the students interest in the class and this class has served its purpose.

Ways to Enter the United States Legally

This blog is the continuation to the prior blog. On the prior blog was mentioned that there are very few ways to enter the United States legally and that it is not an easy process. Many people has obtain asylum in the United States and the requirements for an asylum are as follow; fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality or political reasons. The person applying for asylum has to be in danger in the place of origin and it must be proven to the United States government.

The people that enter the United States illegally have to remain illegal until the government approves a reform for immigrants and this is always different. It could be for people that have been working in agriculture and they have to fall in a time frame. The immigrants have to show that during their stay they have been good citizens and any problem with the law would disqualify them. Immigrants come to the United States to have a better future and not to take jobs away or commit crimes, they are people that want to make a better living in the land of opportunities and freedom. What we us Americans need to do is to strive for a better education and immigrants would not become a threat to us instead they will help us to be better in our country.

Ways to Enter the United States Legally

It is believed by many that it is very easy for immigrants to come into the United Stats legally, but in reality it is very hard to do because of all the barriers that have been put against immigrants. There are very few ways to come to this country legally. To give a better idea, next is a list of the ways that immigrants can come legally to the United States. Two of the ways that immigrants can enter the United States legally, are with Immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

Non-immigrant visa, the individual that obtains this visa is only allowed to do what he has been authorized to do in the United States. This visa could be a student visa, visitor visa or a temporary work visa. The temporary work visa is only issued to those that are categorized us having “Extraordinary Ability” or people that are very smart and have a good education. Non-immigrant visas also cover the people that are sponsored by businesses in the United States and the employer requests that the candidate enter the United States on a temporary visa.

The immigrant visa is issued to those individuals that have been authorized to work and live in the United States. Most of this people are the people who came to the United States illegally and have the opportunity to become legally citizen. Once an illegal immigrant becomes legal immigrant, they can request for an immigrant visa for their close relatives.
