Hmong Refugees And Vietnamese Refugees

Refugees in the United States go through the struggles of not being able to communicate in an effective way because of the language barrier. This barrier makes it harder on them to be able to get a job, attend school and success academically. This also gives them the feeling of being the “others,” as well as a loss of their dignity and culture. Although, refugees go through steps to be able to find a place, where they can call home, but their struggles is what holding them from having a good life and an easy life. Consequently, refugees have valuable characteristics, such as: education, language, job, religion, health and owing a home. As a foreigner, their struggle is exasperated since many of their valuable characteristics are now liabilities in a different land compounded with new and daunting cultural differences.

A Refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Ha’s a 10 year old girl from saigon who is a refugee, she had to flee her home in saigon, before she fled her her she was a very stubborn and sassy. The title of the book is Inside out and back again by Thanhha Lai.

Have you ever meet a refuge or know someone who escaped their country because of war? When refugees flee their home they need to stay in refugee camps where they get food and shelter but they can't stay there for ever. Refugees go thru many things when they come to America, one thing is they don't know english and they struggle to communicate. Another thing is that the kids might get bullied because they come from another place or of there religion. Ha life is similar to the universal:Refugees life because she was a refugee and she got bullied in school because where she came from. Ha’s life and the universal:Refugees life have been affected wich that make there life inside out.

Many refugees have a hard time living in a different country because it is often very different from where they’re from. Gurung states, “But here in the United States my community continues to

Visualize a country that cannot secure your future; moreover, think about leaving the country that you cultivated with your parents, brothers, and sisters for unrecognized land and culture. This experience distressed many Vietnamese refugees as they arranged to evacuate from Vietnam. They did not possess a choice; they either progressed or died in their homeland. Due to the end of the Vietnam War, many South Vietnamese desired to leave because of the new communist regime, treatment they received, and their futures.

In my opinion, immigrants and refugees should have the right to obtain medical coverage under the Affordable Care Act. At the end of the day, all human are created equal; I also think that immigrants and refugee that came to America under working visa should qualify to receive healthcare coverage. Many immigrants migrate to the US with hopes that they will have a better life and brighter future for their children. Immigrants and refugees who reside in the US illegally will work for any price to earn a living; they are hard workers and willing to do anything to put food on the table. There is no reason anyone should be denied access to medical services, because of their legal status or because they were too poor to afford healthcare. When it

Refugees “Today, more than 14 million men, women, and children have been forced to flee their homes, towns, and countries because they are afraid to stay” (Gevert, “Refugees: Who, Where, Why”). Refugees come from all over the world to seek protection to escape their country from war, poverty, disease and natural disasters. A refugee is a person who is forced their home because of a fear for their lives to stay.

Refugees usually leave their countries because of war or political and religious persecution, you could call this being turned around completely or inside out, having everything you know being flipped around and meeting the standards of a different culture.. Ha had to leave South Vietnam because of war over political power. Ali (from desperation at sea) had to leave Somalia because of a terrorist group called al-Shabaab. Ali’s experience is like Ha’s. Ha had to flee South Vietnam because of the Communists in North Vietnam taking governmental control of the south.

“Over 800,000 refugees from Vietnam came to America in 1978” (Rosenthal). These refugees came fleeing war and hardship, but often come and find that their struggles are not over. They often face discrimination from their new community. Ha, a character from the novel Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai struggles with this like so many others. After being forced to leave her home country of Vietnam because of war, she moves to Alabama. There, she faces discrimination from the community. These hardships turn her life inside out, but eventually she was able to bring it back again. Discrimination from the community is one of the many problems Ha and other refugees experience that turns their life inside out and back again.

A refugee is defined as “someone who has been forced to leave a country because of war or for religious or political reasons.” This definition does little to paint the picture of the horror and terror that many refugees have come from, yet even when refugees flee, they often still live in fear. 95% of all Afghan refugees flee to Iran or Pakistan (UNHCR 4), yet many are not safe there either, with the spread of heat-related diseases and the abuse against women. Thus, many must seek refuge in the United States, where although they must overcome many struggles and difficulties, many look to start a new, safe life.

Refugees are innocent human beings who have been forced to escape their homes. As they face mental, physical and emotional trauma, they face and confront astounding obstacles during their escape from their corrupted country.

A refugee, as defined by the 1951 Refugee convention, is an individual who “owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country” (Oregon Department of Human Services, n.d.). Moreover, in some countries, the home government may also be persecuting the individual. Each year, the U.S. government allows certain numbers and categories of refugees to immigrate into the U.S. through the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. Under the National Refugee Program, the U.S. may also grant asylum to selected immigrant groups who are then

A person who is outside of their national country with the fear of being persecuted based on a specific reason given by their country is referred to as a refugee. Persecution can occur if their country does not agree on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or the membership of a certain social group. An internally displaced person (IDP) is a person who has not crossed an international border in order for them to find refuge. Both groups of people are similar because in both cases there are people who are running away from their own country or land. They could both be running from an issue, law, or belief that they may not agree with and can be victimized for such beliefs. The difference between a refugee and an internally displaced

The immigration of Vietnamese people to the United Kingdom started after the Vietnam War in 1975. Most early immigrants were people fleeing persecution by the communists and the other were academics, students or business people. The Vietnamese people didn’t easily settle into a British lifestyle. The government didn’t give the newcomers vital mutual support. The majority settled in the Lewisham, Southwark and Hackney areas. The existence of much larger and more established overseas Chinese communities in the United Kingdom has had a significant though perhaps understated effect in helping the new immigrants setting roots in their new

Because Americans used education as a marker to determine the success of the refugees, division amongst the Vietnamese occurred frequently. Whether or not a refugee would successfully adapt to American culture depended on the form of education they received When Vietnamese refugees had little to no education and didn’t speak English, “they suffered tremendously as they lacked the opportunity to get jobs” (Gavin). In order to prove that they have the ability to work in America, they must demonstrate that they can assimilate to the culture. Therefore, if a refugee lacks proficiency in English, then America’s workforce discriminates against them as they fail to display that they’ve accepted American culture. Furthermore, having higher education
