Demographic Challenges Of A Migrant Worker

A sample population demographic and background information about the community provides characteristics and context about why this group constitutes a vulnerable population. A discussion about the challenges and disparities farm workers incur when accessing health care with an assessment of the impact on federal, state, and local health care delivery systems.

Slaves were treated terribly, but maybe not as bad as immigrant factory workers. Slaves were from the south and immigrant factory workers were from the north. Slaves were captured from Africa and sold into slavery. In slavery, slave owners forced slaves to work without pay and with the fear of being whipped. Immigrant factory workers were people that came to America for a better life. Slaves were treated better than immigrant factory workers because slaves were given better food, shelter, and clothing than immigrant factory workers.

Immigrating to the United States is not an easy task, but if you make it to the United States you will most likely have a better paying job then you did back home. When immigrating to the United States, there are two different ways that it can be done, either coming legally or illegally. No matter how you get to the United States, everyone has one goal in mind, which is getting a job and being successful. Americans assume that immigrants are coming to the United States to bring drugs, commit crimes, and take jobs from “hard working Americans”. Workagrating is essentially the people who come to the United States to work and build a better life for themselves and their families.

“52 out of every 100 migrant farm workers in the United States are unauthorized workers and have no legal status.” Migrant farm workers are those who leave their countries to come and work in fields. They are trying to support families back home by making some money for things like food, land, and houses. Others, bring their families with them in hopes for a better life here (González). Many people become migrant farmers for a better life, although their treatment depends on where they are, and one famous person in the migrant farm worker movement is Cesar Chavez.

Immigrant populations are unique in many ways, and some share common healthcare concerns. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, The United States has various public health problems because of all the exposure to transmitted diseases from different countries when they are brought in by refugees. This text makes me think that these people do not have a chance, because they get blamed for most things that are flawed in the country. According to the text, it becomes burdensome for the United States to help every single person that lives here, and the burden increases when it has to maintain that same aid for the refugees coming from varying countries. This demonstrates that immigrant populations are seen as a burden and not

Migrant or seasonal farm workers are U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, illegal immigrants or seasonal laborers on special guest worker visas (H-2A workers). Migrant workers mean that they have traveled “at least 75 miles during a 12-month period to obtain a farm job.” Seasonal workers mean that a large majority does not work year round even if they work for more than one farm in a single year. On average, 84% of seasonal farmworkers work over 60 days a year; 77% work over 90 days; and only 60% work over 180 days. Migrant children, defined as those who relocate because of involvement with agriculture-related industries or other seasonal work.

As the two biggest migrant countries in the world, United States and Canada do have some organizations to help migrant workers protect their rights. According to the CBC News, “Citizenship and Immigration Canada states that “Canadian laws protect every worker in Canada. This includes temporary foreign workers.”(cbc.ca) Government insist that those employers who “employing temporary foreign workers must ensure they are covered by provincial or private health insurance” (cbc.ca). The Migrant Workers Alliance for Change (MWAC) is a coalition of national migrant worker groups, grassroots organizations, unions, faith groups, activists and researchers that have come together to fight for justice and dignity for migrant workers.

Laborers all over the world spent most of their time out in the sun, picking fruits, vegetables, and cotton. They make sacrifices by being out in severe weather conditions, leave family members for a long time, and make very little pay for working long hours.

At twelve years of age, I awoke to three urgent nocks. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I opened the door to be greeted by one of my dad’s friend from work informing me my father had fallen from the ladder picking cherries that morning and was being taken to the hospital. Fear took over my body at the thought of what could have happened to my dad. With only my three other siblings at home and my mom working, we had to wait until my dad got home or my mom. Fortunately nothing too serious happened to my dad that morning. What had happened made me realize the dangers migrant workers face every day they work.

“I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind to whatever nation they might belong” this quote is by George Washington, but A Country is for all is another quote by Jorge Ramos. Everyone of any culture should be aloud in every country they want. There shouldn't be a law that doesn't let people out of a country to find a great new start for them. In this essay we will be talking about immigrants in the late days, border crossing, and families being separated.

I would look and research more through the economic lens. Taking a more in-depth look at the quality of contribution the immigrants had in the workforce and did they help/not help the economic growth of America. Were the immigrants uneducated, just a mass quantity of people could not possibly contribute to society? Or did they benefit society and quickly assimilate into America and grow the economy?

The theme of the article that I had just read Young Migrant Workers is about how children are having to work to earn money for their family and how they don't get to go to school very often. You gotta do what you gotta do even if it is difficult. ¨While most parents like Santos's want a better life for their children, a typical farmworker earns $7,500 a year or less—hardly enough money to support a family.¨ This is showing that children are not earning enough money to support/help their family. This compares to the book I read ¨Under the Same Sky by Cynthia DeFelice because Joe had to work many hard hours on the farm to get

The characters in the novel Of Mice And Men, by John Steinbeck, face many struggles such as loneliness and having to be responsible for another person. All of these workers have a dream but face many difficulties while trying to achieve them. During the great depression farmers had to go from place to place looking for work, they were known as migrant workers.The two main struggles are loneliness and having to be responsible for another person.

Migratory workers come to this country to make a better living for not only themselves but for their families back home in their native countries as well. Instead of taking jobs from people here in America many of them take jobs that pay very little compared to what most people make, this forces these workers into back breaking labor in the agricultural sector of our economy by picking and packing produce. Not only does this unfortunately benefit our economy since workers being paid low wages means that the product prices stay low, it is necessary that we as a country have illegal migrant workers to do these jobs.
