Latino Immigrant Families

To what extent is the hardship for immigrants from Latin American countries to immigrate, both legally and illegally, to the United States given past and present immigration laws?

America the land where all dreams are possible if you work hard for them because America is the land of equal opportunity. Is equal opportunity a reality if you come from a poor disadvantage background such as those of the Latino Immigrant community. Disadvantaged Latino immigrants face many difficulties when it comes to equal education as many lack English proficiency, struggle financially and lack educational opportunities. We cannot deny that the United States is quickly changing as the minority Latino population has increased in unpredictable numbers. Such increase will focus on the Children of Latino Immigrants to transform the future of the United States. The Pew Research center informs that Latinos are expected to grow to 107 million

Commentators who see immigration as a problem frequently place most of the blame on Latino immigrants (Pérez Huber, 2015). Immigration reform should be approached from a humanitarian lens, therefore seen as a moral and social responsibility, that all should work to address (Pérez Huber, 2015). Multiple Streams frame also lacks a human rights and social justice lens, immigration reform through these lenses would recognize undocumented immigration as a humanitarian crisis (Lakoff & Ferguson, 2006). More consideration should be placed on patterns of immigration and how U.S foreign policies in Latin America influence these patterns. This is a major limitation of Multiple Streams as it does not take into consideration on the process outside of the

As the number undocumented immigrants continues to rise in the United States much of what is communicated in the media has consistently taken on a negative tone. A negative tone giving many in the public the impression that undocumented aliens are without an advocate in the pursuit of streamlining the path to become legal and enjoy the rights and privileges that go along with being a member of American society and all that that entails. There exists however organizations that have taken up the cause for these immigrants providing legal support, health care and a voice for the larger audience to hear. Two of these organizations are the Federation for American Immigration Reform or FAIR and the Immigrant Youth Justice League or IYJL.

The goal is to emphasize on the roles that immigrants have on the economy and society because it frequently goes unnoticed and forgotten. In addition, to retouch these roles can help create future beneficial policies. In this paper, the policy issue will be discussed at the national, global, and regional level. However, the center focus will be the current problems occurring in the Los Angeles area. Furthermore, I will examine how immigration deportation affects the family itself, society and economy, and what has been done to help the undocumented. There are current and older policies that have helped the undocumented, but have not been enough. The overall purpose is to explain why immigration deportation will not benefit society or the economy; furthermore, the negative effects it can have on citizens other than just the undocumented will also be discussed.

In this study, they focus on the outcomes of household wellbeing, access to community services, employment, and satisfaction with agency services over the course of 2 years, as well as qualitative exploration of participant feedback and household achievements at 24 months. The study reveals an integrated approach to supporting new arrivals in the U.S., with critical implications for future refugee and immigrant services and

Illegal immigration is quickly becoming a big issue in this country. With the country divided on whether to call for improved border security and reform for illegal citizens to be naturalized, there is something that needs to be done. Illegal immigration in the United States is something the government needs to begin focusing on and reaching a decision to help improve the wellbeing of this country. There are too many people in which are affected by this issue for it not to be at the top of Congresses priorities. According to Katel, in 2014 there was a total of 11.3 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. But those 11 million immigrants aren’t the only ones affected by this issue. The entire U.S. population is affected

Social workers should receive training when working with Mexican migrant families. This population encounter different types of stressed due to acculturation and it’s important for the social worker to understand how this process is affecting the families. Its also important to train the social workers on the policies so that they know exactly that procedures to follow and who to contact in order for the children and families to receive the appropriate assistance. They should also be familiar with the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services so they know and have an understanding of the application process or petition paperwork. It’s important that the workers build connection with other agencies in order to be able to direct the families

In this study, primary and secondary research will be both incorporated. The reason for this is to be able to provide adequate discussion for the readers that will help them understand more about the issue and the different variables that involve with it. The primary data for the study will be represented by the survey results that will be acquired from the respondents. On the other hand, the literature reviews to be presented in the second chapter of the study will represent the secondary data of the study. The secondary sources of data will come from published articles from books, journals and theses and related studies.

Though the author agrees with the significance and implications of this article, there were many notable weaknesses identified especially in the area of the research methodology which affects the credibility of the article. This review will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the article following the structure of the article reviewed.

Data to be collected. For this survey the graduate students at the Central Michigan University will be used. The survey population includes both domestic and international graduate students. An e-news letter containing the cover letter and short invitation to participate in the survey is sent to all the graduate students of the University. The e- newsletter has a survey link attached where the students can gain access and participate. The survey will remain until sufficient sample size that represent the population is reached. The importance of the survey questions is explained in the table below:

This chapter provides a detailed description of the methodology, which will be used to investigate the hypothesized relationships, presented in the previous chapter. In order to test the theoretical model proposed before, primary data will be collected using an online survey.

The topic areas used to develop items for this survey questionnaire are derived from the research questions developed through the literature review. The research questions that guide this study are as follows:

What can social workers do for undocumented immigrants? Immigrants are forming a big part of our daily communities and it is important for us to understand their situation, so we can be better social workers. In this paper I will give a group snapshot. This is the group definition, strengths and challenges of undocumented immigrants. I will also share my awareness of the group which includes my personal attitudes toward the group. I will also share positive attitudes, knowledge and skills from literature that social workers need to practice. At the end, I will note laws that oppress this group.

Along with doing research from peer-reviewed academic resources, this section specifies the participants and procedures of the survey and the planned analyses for answering research questions and testing hypotheses. To review the questionnaire used for this study, see Appendix.
