    Power, wealth and morality are ways in which someone excert his or her power over another person. This has been adopted by the United States government in the removal of the Cherokee people in the 1800s.

    The government offered the Cherokee people money (wealth) to relocate to another part of thier country thereby abandoning their ancestral homes. When they refused, the government adopted forceful removal (power). The government even went to the extreme to hang some of the tribal leaders of the Cherokee people inorder to pass a message across on the need for them to leave their ancestral lands.

    In the case of illigal immigrants, the US government believed that it is morally wrong (morality) for illigal immigrants to still be in US and take up job opportunities meant for the citizens. This could be seen in the recent policy of the current US president in banning of immigrant visa in most countries as well as forceful removal of illigal people on daily basis.

    Also, for the fact that US government has the greatest power and influence in the whole world, they can forceful remove an illigal immigrant without any consequences whatsoever.
