Discrimination Against Latinos

Geography will never mean the same to me, the more I read the more I’ve learned it’ so much more than land and boundaries. What I’ve learned from this literature it seems to be the study of issues that affect people and the environment, and ways to solve the world’s problems. Geography is important because it affects all aspects of life. No matter what you are talking or thinking about geography is somehow involved. Everything in the world has a direct connection to place, location, interaction, movement, and region.

In 2010, when Ahmad wrote his article, immigration was on the rise in the UK. Many immigrants were being accepted into the country which created a record high. Although this situation may seem to be a good thing, it can be deceiving. Due to the increase in immigration, the government had pledged to cut migration by an exponential amount. “The British, who ruled my country for decades and taught me the English that I speak, have always had the power to keep me out of their country” (Ahmad 38). At this

But one prevalent issue that has continued to be the source of much controversy is immigration. Founded on immigration this issue is not new to this country. Although it’s an issue that has been around for many years the mixed sentiments directed at it have only continued to become more prevalent. This may be due to the various perspectives from which it is viewed. The way in which an issue is looked at is influenced by various factors which become evident when the issue of immigration is discussed.

Does it matter what we are called: Latino or Hispanic? Does it change who we are as people? To an extent, most people do not know the difference between either. Typically, people group both terms as one singular item. However, Hispanic and Latino racial classifications are more than a broad category for people from Spanish-speaking countries. The words connote and represent a history of colonial terminology that based its success on the failures of innocent, historically peaceful, cultural groups. Hispanic and Latino terminology are political and economic in every sense. This paper will show that colonial leanings to control and govern people’s lives have yet to culminate, even though the era of imperialism ended a century ago. The United States, although far from its heyday as the singular house of power, still manages to achieve control and influence over the imperialized minds of groups of people, specifically Hispanics and Latinos.

Racial discrimination commonly refers to unfair or unequal behavior upon on individuals due to their race or ethnicity. Racism has been practiced for decades. Exerting superiority or supremacy over a race of individuals is the attempt of racial dominance. Despite the increasing population in the United States, Hispanic Americans find racial discrimination a reality in their lives. Migration rates have been on a dramatic climb over the past several decades resulting in a significant growth in diversity being experienced. The migration of the various cultural groups, including the Hispanic cultures,

According Almanza, a Latino man working in the helping profession chosen to be interviewed, believes that family and church are the two places that man Latinos turn to when seeking to find assistance or help that might be facing

Latino discrimination and how it relates to deportation and border that want to be built.

Conversely, some participants explained that they have experienced discrimination even in a predominantly Latina/o community. With regard to this finding, perceived discrimination in a predominantly Latina/o community, there may be two possible explanations. First, intergroup contact theory argues that prejudice is reduced when there are positive relations between groups. However it is possible that the intergroup contacts in a homogenous community are not positive interactions that promote decreased prejudice. Second, some of the participants in this study explained that they have perceived discrimination from other Latina/os, This finding consistent with previous research that has noted the existence of within-group discrimination in the

In his editorial, Miliband criticizes Pres. Trump’s decision to ban immigrants from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and some other Middle Eastern countries. Miliband does not find immigrants from these foreign countries as an endangerment to the American society but simply seeking safety in security in this country, he argues this policy through factual evidence. The author makes an ethos appeal for his

“Why Geography Matters More Than Ever,” was written by Harm De Blij. It was published August 17th 2012 by Oxford University Press, USA with 354 pages in it.

Despite where the funds are generated to support these programs and immigrants, the citizens of the US may see them as a threat to their way of life. Furthermore, this will open up a whole new issue involving the employment from a discriminatory position, which can cause problems for employers. Of course, there will be an imbalance of pay and possibly workload for some immigrants, but there is really no legal guidance on how employers should treat them. On the other hand, there will have to be guidance on what is considered discrimination for immigrants. Since they are migrants from other countries, they are not considered to be Americans. Therefore, the general principals of the country may not apply to them.

Immigration became a significant part of society in the post-war period, it redefined the public’s perception regarding culture and attitudes in society. Despite this, it is worth noting that immigration was not a new phenomenon in 1945. Britain had welcomed refugees in the past, notably the Irish who became one of the largest groups throughout the 20th century. Many Europeans also sought refuge in Britain, for example German refugees who fled to Britain in 1930 ; Peter Fryer notes on the existing black community in Britain since the 16th century. However, the level of immigration after 1945 was enough to redefine British culture and created an exclusive national identity by where ‘Britishness’ is now recognised through the colour of your skin. Race as a concept has also transformed, with culture being a major element in British society. Politics has also had a major influence, with the introduction of immigration laws bringing equality among Britain’s citizens, although this could highlight the opinions of the public with the need for legislation to be introduced. The economy thrived with immigration, noting on the Windrush which allowed the empty gaps in employment to be filled. However, despite the progress that has been made due to immigration, the reaction of the people wasn’t always as positive, subsequently leading to racial tensions and a lack of respect among the people for immigration. These aspects are very significant when discussing the development of

As Britain opted to leave the European Union and head into a negotiation process with its European counterparts, many issues need to be considered. Mainly the UK government focuses on the economic position, in particular the single market. This issue is closely linked to freedom of movement, so it could be the hardest part of the negotiation on which to achieve common ground. A part of the difficulty are the issues relating to the migration of people who are non-EU citizens, while the focus herein is firmly on the future of those defined as asylum seekers. This category has not been shown any attention by UK policy makers, while it appears this group forms a significant proportion of net migration figures. Plus, it could be argued that the main driver of the crisis that has led the UK public to opt to leave the EU is the influx of migrants, as this issue greatly escalated when the European Union was pushed the UK to accept a percentage of people who fled their homes from persecution, in particular Syrian citizens. Thus, the problem is defined by which asylum seekers are part of the issue that has led the UK to leave the European Union, regardless from who is behind this, whether the radical right-wing or individuals. It is too late to seek the root causes of the problem; it is time for solutions and guiding principles. The neo-liberal economic policies stated that social democracy should be our guiding values

Immigration has become a growing problem in the United Kingdom, with the Uk having the 19th biggest population density in the world and half the size of Spain, and they are not even in the top twenty. The Uk attracts immigrants with its diverse culture and low employment rate; statistics showed that the number of Romanians and Bulgarians alone working in the UK reached a record 202,000 last year. Predicted to be At 80 million by 2020, it doesn't seem like it is decreasing.

The European Union has reported that as of January 2016, there has been a large amount of people living in countries within the EU. Those same people were also born outside of the EU. Those people were immigrants from other countries, and the total number of immigrants that lived in the EU at the time was 35.1 million. However, that same number rapidly rises each year. Especially in Germany, being the country with the most expanding immigrant population in Europe. Many reasons lead up to the decision as to why people migrate to other countries. Some reasons include war, poverty, and political instability, and other reasons might be due to higher employment rates, better goods and services, and overall safety in the area. The topic on immigration lies on a large spectrum of views. Some Europeans believe that immigrants have made their country a better place and others believe the complete opposite. In this research paper, I plan on discussing the effects on the increase in immigration in Europe alone, and how those effects are similar and different throughout other regions in the world.
