Organization That Help Undocumented Aliens

Illegal immigration has been exponentially escalating since 2002, the percentage of illegal immigrants in the United States has grown from 39.2 percent to an increasing 59 percent. This shows that the immigrants population in the United States has increased, which affects many parts of the nation. The subject of Illegal Immigration in the United States is a social injustice, because the rise of illegal immigrants causes economical and social problems, such as an increase in population and a lack of jobs, and FAIR works to address this issue by regulating the numbers of illegal immigrants entering the United States by placing national standards.

As the daughter of an immigrant, I have witnessed the various barriers faced by immigrants, and this experience has motivated me toward my career objective. According to the Pew Research Center Hispanic Trends Project, there were about 11.3 million immigrants living illegally in the United States in 2013 (Passel et al., 2014). These immigrants come from all parts of the world for several different reasons. Whether to provide better resources for their family back home or to live a better life, these immigrants usually work in environments that can be harmful and dangerous to their health.

More and more immigrants are coming in to the United States each year, and we as a nation

Immigration has become a very relevant topic in the past few years and has sparked various arguments between Americans. No agreement has been reached regarding immigration reform, possibly because many people view it as an immediate amnesty rather than a possibility of legalization for hard-working immigrants. Despite of the negative meaning associated with it, an immigration reform would be beneficial to the U.S. in social aspects, such as having undivided families, and by stimulating economic growth.

This paper explores the United States, Immigration Policy from an historical, fair and factual perspective. The Immigration Act of 1990 States limited “unskilled workers to 10,000 a year. Skilled labor requirements and immediate family reunification were major goals. The Act continued to promote the nuclear family model, foreign-born in the US was 7%”. This paper will also explore the demographics and diversity, of immigrants, throughout the U.S. This paper includes an article form the website of the Washington, D.C., Immigration Policy Center, and American Immigration Council. This paper will examines significant research data from the Pew Research web site on Hispanic trends and immigration, around the United States. This paper will also cover numbers, facts and trends which shape the immigration policy. This paper will also include five different books written by authors concerning the immigration policy and public issues which most concern Americans. This paper will cover topics of history of social problems and the policies that address immigration, special interest groups advocacy groups, political party and supporters, social justice and ethical issues, policy outcomes of illegal immigrants and how other countries compare to the United States when dealing with immigration.

There are many vulnerable populations within the United States. One of the many vulnerable populations are undocumented immigrants. Undocumented immigrants also known as illegal immigrants according to Wikipedia (2016) is defined as “the migration of people across national boarders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destination country” (para 1). The United States of America has one of the largest population of immigrants. In this paper, I will be discussing the multiple stressors related to undocumented immigrants as well as the programs that can be used to help alleviate those stressors.

Undocumented immigrants are foreign nationals who entered the United States without authorization or entered legally but remained in the United States without authorization. However, undocumented youth and students usually have no role in the decision to come to this country. They are usually brought to this country by their parents or relatives, generally due to economic hardship and they have spent more years in the United States than in their country of birth. (Baum, Flores, 2011) Over the years, undocumented immigration has grown tremendously in the United States. “Among the nearly 12 million undocumented immigrants, a

The Federation of American Immigration Reform is a non-profit organization that oppose all illegal immigration in United States and advocating limited legal immigration from 1 million to 300,000 a year.

This is a list of organizations led by undocumented students and their allies working at the local, state, and national level to support all undocumented immigrants. Through these organizations undocumented student can begin connecting to other undocumented young people locally and across the country. Also, undocumented students can keep up with current campaigns, advocacy work, and policy changes about the undocumented immigrant community.

All racial groups have been discriminated against in one form or another, but an extreme example of this is with the Mexican and Mexican American citizens in the United States of America. This group of people have seen almost every form of discrimination to not being allowed in schools, to not being appointed fair and civil court cases. In order to stop the unequal treatment the Mexican American population formed LULAC, the League of United Latin American Citizens. LULAC has worked throughout the years to stop discrimination against their people. They have used many tactics and had many well educated people represent them. These tactics are vital and without them the group would cease to make any progress or even exist.

To conclude, both stakeholders want to bring awareness to illegal immigration. On the one hand, FFF seeks to guarantee a legal status to parents of U.S. citizens in order to stop the separation of families because of deportation. Whereas the Minuteman Project advocates for the deportation of unauthorized people in the U.S., regardless if they have family members who have a legal status. This topic is important because America is a country made up of immigrants. In fact, according to the Migration Policy Institute, “U.S. immigrants and their U.S.-born children now number approximately 80 million persons, or one-quarter of the overall U.S. population” (Zoe and Batalova). Immigration is a key component for the U.S.’s social and economic development.

I happen to be one the most active partaker in an unincorporated association in New York City. Our association is composed of West African immigrants living in the five boroughs of New York. We have decided to join our forces and skills to help immigrants in financial difficulties. We knew since the beginning that we have created an illegal structure since we did not fill any legal paperwork to establishing any formal legal structure. Notwithstanding, our purpose for the association is to benefit all immigrants some way, and we do not include earning a profit from the assistance provided. Our help consists of hiring lawyers, prison visit and legal advices.

One major contemporary movement that is very near and dear to my heart is the fight for the rights of undocumented immigrants. Many of the people in my life entered this country illegally, and there are many people in my life who are still undocumented. It baffles my might how much prejudice is expressed towards immigrants especially since we are a nation that is founded my immigrants. It is by pure luck that anyone is born as citizen of the United States and those who were lucky enough to be born in the United States are oppressing those who are fighting to come to this country in search of a better life. While examining the movement the concept that is most clear to see at play is intersectionality. The stereotypical immigrant is one who

As the United States is often regarded as a nation of immigrants, the number of immigrant community-based organizations are steadily increasing around the country. Accordingly with the growth of immigrant communities, immigrant community-based nonprofit organizations are typically organized to assist the increasing civic participation and empowerment of these diverse immigrant communities. These organizations play in critical role to deliver the services culturally and linguistically competent as well during the post resettlement period of the immigrants. At this point, the role of immigrant community-based nonprofit organizations and sustainable organization development are essential to promoting immigrant interests in the context of the society

The opponents to “illegal” immigration believe that the cost to Americans is too high. According to this group, the “undocumented”
