People Crossing Into The Usa Analysis

The collection “Coming to America” is comprised of journal entries, biographies, and autobiographies that discuss the social and political transformations that arose from immigration. “Of Plymouth Plantation”, “Balboa”, and “‘Blaxicans’ and Other Reinvented Americans” illustrate how immigrants shape America’s direction. The changes that occurred when settlers migrated seriously impacted the nation they were travelling to. The first of these changes pertains to culture. Immigrants brought their religions and languages to their host country, and that caused a great deal of acculturation, usually to the new religion or language. Government is another principle that was implemented into the “inner workings” of the new country. Lastly, the newcomers

As an individual who has witnessed family friends of immigrants that came to this country over 20 years ago in hope of a better future. I understand why so many immigrants are willing to cross a border so dangerous and treacherous to reach a country that is called the land of opportunities. What we call The Unites States of America the land of the free. An average of 2,700 illegal immigrants are willing to cross the border each day leaving there families and risking their own life's to cross to the US. Mostly in the news we tend to hear only the superficial fact but never the real facts or the stories of the capture immigrants. If we would just take time to listen to the real stories of what I called the unforgotten children and women. We

They are raising awareness of how the current status of this nation and how it is affecting the Latinos here. The stress of being deported is affecting these women and their children. Not only are they affecting Latino women, but the Caucasian women as well. The study showed that they had the opposite affect on Caucasians because their babies were being born in “normal” time when the Latinos are stressed. To conclude, I feel that the author of the article want people to know that everyone’s actions and opinions of immigrants and deportation has affects on women and children. I personally believe that there should be a study to help bring the stress of these women and save their

And as time passes, the situation isn’t getting any better. Still, dysfunctional factors, such as divorce and abandonment are pushing mothers to look for a way to find a better life for their children. The solution, many people think, is the United States. The number of illegal immigrants is increasing exponentially and though the demand for cheap labor is always high, there is now discontent from legal employees that are losing their jobs to cheap labor. This situation has created more pressure towards the government to fix the immigration issue. However, as aforementioned, it’s not a simple matter of sending people back to their country. The kernel lies in countries, like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico and others that can’t sustain their workers with proper wages and living conditions. Due to the pressures to tighten immigration, the journey only becomes harder. Does it discourage people from engaging in such dangerous trip to the north? Unlikely. From the beginning, the people that go through these journeys hardly care about HOW to get there; they only care about getting there. Hence, immigrants suffer more and more and the real issue isn’t being diminished in the

The same article says families face painful decision wait many years to be a considerd for a visa or just cross the border with no documentation in order to be reunited with loved ones. I think having them wait years and years for a visa is torture so instead they just come here illegally. They do this because they have no choice. Being apart from family is hard and they wanna be together but it’s hard cause they either have to wait for year to able to come or come illegally here just to be with their children and family members.

They see that it is the wrong thing to do to make the parents separate from their kids and let a complete stranger to take care of them. If they go with their parents to their home country they would go to a country that everything will be new to them and it would be somewhere they don't belong because they already started their life here in the U.S.. Separating immigrant families would make the kids suffer not knowing who is going to take care of them as well as not knowing where their parents are, as well as having the chance of never being able seeing them again. According to The Atlantic “The mental toll and isolation on both parents and children who remain in the U.S. can be devastating, which is often compounded by a reluctance or inability to access mental-health care that might bring some relief.” (Emily Deruy ). The separation of the parents and kids have led to the kids having a mental toll on them since they no longer will see their parents as well as not having the chance to get any type of help to get through this crisis that them and their parents are going through. The deportation of illgela immigrant families leave a mental scar to not only the kids but also the

Tatiana Sanchez, author of “Deported Mothers Make New Lives in Tijuana”, argues that the US immigration policy is stressing the human cost of tearing families apart to a critical and desperate situation. She is a former reporter/writer of The San Diego Union-Tribune and previously an investigative reporter with The Desert Sun in Palm Springs. Her insight on the immigration dilemma between the married couple Emma Sanchez and Michael Paulsen reveals that the immigration law automatically and severely bans applicants seeking legal status yet break the immigration laws, affecting the generations after the applicant.

She then continues to speak on how their deportation affected her and how it made her feel. In this interview Guerrero speaks about the traumatizing experience of coming home from school one day only to find out her parents have been deported and how the only comfort she had was the kindness of strangers who went out of their way to nurture her while other family members were contacted. This video offers a bias point of view based on the fact that her parents were the people deported and due to the emotional connection they had, would want them to stay. This video would only help the side supporting the argument that undocumented people should be allowed to become citizens. However, the video does offer the useful point of view of a child of undocumented immigrants and how the deportation of her parents has affected her. This video would be very useful evidence that to neglect the ability for undocumented immigrants to become citizens leave their children in isolation and fear in their country when their parents are

“Fourteen Mexicanos died in the biggest, single instance of “die off” in border history” (PPT, “PEOPLE”). During 2001, a group of illegal immigrants from Mexico attempted to cross the United States-Mexico border with insufficient provisions. People named them for the nearest border station-Wellton, the Wellton 26. Of those who attempted the trip, only 12 narrowly escaped with their lives. People named the fourteen people who died as the Yuma 14.

In a country that was created by the hard work of immigrants, those who ask the question of whether their labor has contributed to the growth of the United States economy are simply ignoring facts. The truth is that immigrants make up a large percentage of the incoming workforce and they prevent the withering of the economy even in times of population decline. Economic competitiveness is threatened by an aging workforce but a flow of immigrants entering the U.S. helps counter this problem while at the same time raising the number of taxpayers. Immigrants play many important roles when it comes to helping the economy of the United States, however they also play damaging roles to some of the workers of the U.S. as many are outcompeted for work

“Incarcerating minors who have broken no criminal codes is not the solution to immigration for three reasons: (1) It is unconscionable to imprison children simply because their mothers are trying to find a better life for them, (2) The government should not treat as suspected criminals those who are lawfully seeking asylum or other permission to stay, (3) Detention should be a last resort, especially given the available alternatives, including electronic monitoring and reliance on immigration support agencies and pro bono legal services experienced in getting their clients to court.”

I’ve never admired to read about deportation due to the amount of crossness I acquire. To me, it’s probably one of the few minute laws that the US should be lenient on. I believe that if a family is simply trying to occupy their lives with freedom and protection, then let them be. It could be unquestionably stated that they have to go through a few trials, distinguishing the fact that they aren’t going to cause crime or that they already had a criminal record, but they should have a right. In the end, if we have or have not given them the honor, they will still proceed to make an effort to cross the border to safety and freedom no matter what the law says.

Immigration has become a huge issue in these past few years and some of those issues are from Mexico. The problem isn't adults trying to cross the boarder, but rather it's their children who are trying to cross the boarder. This is not okay because the journey to get them to the boarder takes them through some of the most crime infested towns. The main way there getting there is they hire a coyote a hired guide that sneaks them across the country to the American boarder. Even if they get to the boarder they will be held at gunpoint and if they refuse to comply they may be shot. When they make it they will be arrested by boarder patrol and taken to jail where they could be for a long while. If they get out the probability of being deported is

Bertha, Ricki, and Sarahi all stated that their goal for coming to America was for a better quality of life, one that was different and unique to the United States. Although their overall goals are similar their means of getting that better quality of life differs. Bertha has immigrated to the United States. She like many other immigrants had hoped to find, for her and her family, the same home that was prosperous for her sons. One with opportunities and avenues that would foster a life free of economic and political conflicts like the one she left behind in Mexico. The ability to obtain and keep a better quality of life is truly an American value. It varies for Americans in every corner of the United States. It may include the ability to purchase a sports car, high-end clothes, or lavish homes. Or it may be simpler things such as social harmony and order, to religious freedom. Regardless of how you interpret what a better quality of life is, according to the OEDC Better Life Index it is an important value of the American

The first time period looked at was gangs in times of immigration. Immigrants who were coming to America shared the experience of overcoming the prejudice and discrimination of each generation. Gangs started to associated with the lower class of the immigrants coming to America. Young people joined these gangs due to having the ideology of making it out on their own. By 1990s these mindset change affects the gangs in two ways. The first was that they established their own communities which allowed for the increase of drugs and involvement of people. Secondly, gangs have developed in communities where the social economic is more blocked. This allows for the gangs to believe the greater income will prove a better life for them that their parents.
