Central Latin American Stereotypes

The Puerto Rican parrot or "iguaca" (as our Taino Indians called it) is a bright green bird with a red band on the forehead, a white ring around the eye and the blue primary feathers. Juveniles are quite similar to adults. Both females and males are similar and measure about twelve inches.

A common misconception is that legalizing illegal immigrants would just result in “criminals” running around the streets causing disturbances. Who is ignored is the benefit of a very specific population of Americans, the sons and daughters of illegal immigrants. American children are harmed every time one or both of their parents is deported as a result of the lack of an immigration reform. In the article, “Children of Illegal Immigrants Struggle When Parents Are Deported” Valbrun states that “the government deported more than 46,000 parents of children with U.S. citizenship in the first half of 2011, according to the ARC report.” In these conditions, jailed parents cannot fight for their children’s custody and at times lose it to the government who then puts the children out for adoption or in foster care when they already have loving parents. Properly legalizing immigrants would improve the lives of many American children and improve the American social aspects with more

Immigration has played an important role throughout American history. What fundamentally sets America apart from other nations is the foundation that it was created by immigrants seeking a better life for themselves and their children (Camarota & Zeigler, 2016). During times of economic growth, laborers have been imported, and deported during recessions (Flores, 2016). An average of 1.1 million immigrants relocate to the United States annually (Storesletten, 2000). US Customs and Border Control officials, have witnessed a significant increase in the number of “unaccompanied alien minors” from Latin America, anticipating 75,000 minors (if not more) from 2016 to 2017 (Rush, 2016). The average age for “unaccompanied alien minors” is 11 years

Cuban Americans are sometimes stereotyped as mostly being anti-Castro militants or extremists and have been described in some media reports, including newspaper editorials, as “crazies” for their aggressive protests. They were also labeled as overly emotional and hyper-violent criminals. Unlike other Latinos, they still have their images of being lazy, submissive, and

Most of these individuals have families and their deportation have an impact on the family since they are often the bread winners.

The real crime would be to separate a girl or a boy from his or her father, mother or even both. As Cecilia explains “the removal of a parent without any idea of when they will be together again disrupts bonds within families, alters gender and generational relations, and generally produces a lasting alteration in the family structure and redraws power lines within families” (726).Those are just a few of the consequences that children with deported parents would suffer every

I was about eleven years old when my aunt got deported. She came here to have a better life, work and most of all be with family. About two years later after she got deported she died in Mexico because of health issues. She wouldn’t have died if she wasn’t deported because the U.S has more advanced medicines that could have helped her. Illegal Immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S.

Do you believe that the United States should deport illegal immigrants, and their children, back to their home country? The United States should not have illegal immigrants deported out of the United States right away, they should be given a certain amount of time to get their things together to become a citizen. Illegal immigrants should have a path or granted a chance to be able to become a U.S citizen.It will cost the government millions of dollars to deport illegal citizens than keep them in the US. Illegal immigrants come to America not to make trouble, but to be able to stay here and find jobs to support their families. The United States should not be able to deport Illegal immigrants, and their children back to their country.

The influx of children to the United States from Central America and how the U.S. is handling it

Exile Thousands of children are brought to the US every year illegally. They live in the US the majority of their lives. Then if they commit any crime, something as minor a traffic ticket, they can be deported. Deportation should not occur to immigrants brought to the US illegally as children, if deported, they have no identity, job or family.

Listing the movies or programs that has been extremely popular such as Maid in Manhattan, Spanglish and Family Guy. These three program all share the stereotypical that was strongly presented. For example, they all happen to a single mother raising a child, speaks in Spanish accent and their appearance. They all have black hair, caramel skin tone and a sassy attitude. This exactly proves my point, as I said earlier, these directors all have the same perception of Latinas.

During the 10 year span of 2003 to 2013 there have been between 740,000 to 925,000 parents that have been deported to their home country leaving their U.S. born child citizen. (Lee). Deporting a parent or even both parents while leaving their children alone in the U.S. has negative effects on booth the child and parent. While the parents are sent back to their home country the child or children are left becoming with drawn, anxious, or even depressed. Being a victim of depression doesn’t always take place within the child. If the breadwinner of the family was deported their spouse is also affected. By having no way to pay rent or to provide food for your children can lead the parent to stress and also depression. If the family isn’t capable of affording their rent, they have to move out and look for cheaper houses. That can result in instabilities in the community also causing the children to move schools, and it can lead the single parent to splitting his or her children up in different houses while searching for a stable house. (Koball). Legalizing will help families stay together once they’re in the states, and give them a better opportunity of having the stability and security they need. The second candidate in the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton speaks her voice on the immigration reform and stated “The American people support comprehensive immigration reform not just because it's the right thing

There are some issues in the world that go unnoticed by people if it does not pertain to them, and deportation is one of those issues. Deportation is the act of throwing a foreigner out of the country regardless if they are a resident or an intruder. Someone who is in a country they were not born is considered a foreigner and in the United States some foreigners have to deal with this unforgiving decision by the country they are deported from. Deportation commonly happens to parents who have young children and oftenly tears families apart. Deportation within families is a very punishing issue that a lot of people who were born in the United States will never know the harm in because they will never have to deal with it. When someone is deported

I’ve never admired to read about deportation due to the amount of crossness I acquire. To me, it’s probably one of the few minute laws that the US should be lenient on. I believe that if a family is simply trying to occupy their lives with freedom and protection, then let them be. It could be unquestionably stated that they have to go through a few trials, distinguishing the fact that they aren’t going to cause crime or that they already had a criminal record, but they should have a right. In the end, if we have or have not given them the honor, they will still proceed to make an effort to cross the border to safety and freedom no matter what the law says.

Another issue that families with illegal status can face is what will happen to their children if they get deported? Families have the constant fear of separation. They know it can happen but they don’t know when. Children of “undocumented deportees may end up in the foster care system, often for no other reason than the undocumented status of the parent.” One example of this is the background story of Diane Guerrero. She is a U.S citizen whose parents were both undocumented immigrants. Diane’s parents tried to become legal citizens but they would see no progress. Diane explains that her “childhood was haunted by the fear that they would be deported” and if she came home to an
