After reading and watching these pieces it was obvious that the criteria for citizenship was created by a biased white system that was built to solely benefit European white men and women. “White” being the standard and even ideal citizen. Personally, this information did not come as surprising but only solidified y thoughts on immigration and citizenship. The Loyalty questionnaire stands as a great example of the bias within the government in terms of citizenship.
Citizenship today is still as difficult and lengthy as ever. Especially under Trump’s administration, many good people fear for their livelihoods. In my opinion, there has to be a bias within the immigration system. Citizenship should be granted and rewarded to true, hard working people regardless of race and origin.
Yeah, white people always considered they are the high-level race in the past. I Really don’t like this thought and it is against The us amendment that everyone is equal.
Hey Danielle,
I disagree with you on the bias part because there already is bias in the current citizenship system we have and that is one of the roots we have to kill in order to make the system that much better. Letting it keep growing would kill people’s hopes and dreams of coming to America. I get being realistic but we have to have hope and let people in regardless of their race and origin as you have stated in your discussion board.
