Problems Among Immigrants

Immigrants leave their country everyday without any idea of when they will resume residing in their home country. A lot of people migrate each year to improve their standards of living without considering the challenges they might encounter in their host countries. The problems faced by immigrants are difficulty finding the suitable jobs, racial discriminations from citizens and difficulty learning the country’s language.

Immigrants belonging to a specific country in diasporic conditions fluctuate between two identities and two different cultures. These two cultures are mentioned as donor and recipient. Therefore, a situation arises in almost all immigrants, mainly in those who have more prominent cultural distance between the donor and recipient country. Wherein a severe constitution takes place to the places of cultural identity and adaptation. This condition of riding two cultures concurrently leads to division not only on individuals but also communities in the host culture that causes social uncertainty and disorder. This occurs because most migrations are not intended, but required by socioeconomic fragmentation. Therefore, migrants do not try to make essential changes in their social-cultural assessment. They treat this migration as virtuously momentary. Thus, their continuous repetition of the cultural patterns and ethics carried with them from donor society and their unwillingness to absorb the recipient society cause conflicting conditions isolating them from the host

As we all know, Canada is an immigrant country. This beautify country attract more and more people who are longing for good future. In 2011, the population of foreign-born in Canada is about 6.7 million. No matter where we are from and what background we have, from the moment we land in Canada as immigrants, there are some problems we need to face to. The commonest three problems are learning a new language, adjusting to a new life-style, and finding a suitable job.

In “Immigrants” by Pat Mora, they are struggling to achieve acceptance and help their family have a better future. The parents are trying so hard to associate their children with “American traditions” and still are left wondering if they will be accepted in America. In my opinion nothing is worth loosing your actual culture or values. They are literally willing to do whatever it takes to transform heir children into American traditions. “Feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie” (Line 2 Mora). Both Hot dogs and Apple pie are both American food and American culture. Wait there is more they are even considering changing the names of their children. Buying them blonde dolls and football cleats both have typical American

The economic stress is also experienced by the children, where they began to pick up more responsibility in the household which can interfere with their school activities. Family relationships also become strained with the deportation of a parent. Derby (2012) also found that “the threat of deportability affected them profoundly”, causing the children stress and worry. This was applicable to U.S citizens as well as undocumented children. This caused children to worry about what to share about their private lives with the fear of people finding out about their parents undocumented status. This also caused conflicts with the child’s self of identity given that some stated to be “proud that either they or their parents were from Mexico, [but] few felt proud that they or their parents were immigrants”(Derby, 2012). It was interesting that parents believed their children didn’t understand legality, which the interviews with children “suggested that young children are aware that there are social differences based on legal status at very young ages even if this was difficult for them to articulate” (Derby,

When it comes to Enrique and Lourdes I believe that they do defy the stereotypes. This book gave me the knowledge of what really goes on with illegal immigrants. The trouble they go through to get to America is unbelievable. Some even have to the repeat the trip multiple times. Enrique himself had to eight times. The worst is the beatings he went through most times. How can one endure something like that multiple times? The police were nothing, literally nothing. The law is meant to protect people not join in. The emotions come from Lourde and her story leaving your children behind is something I cannot imagine. After reading this I do not think anyone judge immigrants the same.

As spoken in class, immigration is a serious issue that is still being fought over today. After watching the short video on Diane Guerrero and her incident with her parents getting deported, I was shocked when I heard that she was left alone after her parents were taken away. It is sad to hear such tragedy when there is children involve. When Diane’s parents were deported, she was only fourteen, she was still too young to live on her own, since she was young, she had to depend on strangers, neighbors, and friends for everything. At that age no child should be left alone, a social worker should have came into the home to search for any family members that were left behind. If she did not have her friends and neighbors helping her out, she would have ended up in the streets, when they kick her out for not paying rent.

This report was designed to examine the challenges immigrants face adjusting to the Canadian workplace. The research conducted seeks to obtain solutions for the following questions:

The attitudes of immigrants who arrived here recently than that came earlier were starting to get worse. Over the time more and more people started to come into the united states. There are still more people coming into the united states. I don't blame them if it's for reasons back at where they live. But I do if they come here illegally.

In the Republican presidential campaign, one of the more major issues discussed is immigration and how there should be more walls and deportation made. Becoming more accepting towards immigrants can lead to opportunities to becoming part of an open society. Despite the fact that there are more things to worry about than immigration, it is not a big problem. Not all Americans are affected by the immigrants. Immigrants in school are being bullied because they are not citizens of the U.S.A. Kids who come to the U.S. usually struggle academically. With the constant struggle regarding immigration within our society, it is not fair to those who want a better life and are genuinely good people.

In my opinion, most research I have come across is based on how immigrants’ identities are being shaped by dominant Canadian culture. However, not a lot of research is being done on how they themselves have, and are able to incorporate their own culture into Canadian society. Therefore, I was very interested in finding research that focuses on how immigrant communities have done so. The focus of this paper is to provide information on the importance of immigrant involvement and participation in society, and how this in turn can help in their integration into Canadian communities. Through the use of academic research, I argue, that it is through immigrant involvement in the creation of services and policies that cater to immigrant social, financial,

A famous journalist Jorge Ramos once said, “The greatest nations are defined by how they treat their weakest inhabitants.” Immigration has been a prominent topic throughout time. There is a vast stigma seen on media depicting peoples feeling towards immigration. There are different sides to the debate to what should be done with immigration policy also many other related topics to the issue. There are different beliefs yet what are scholar’s beliefs towards the topic of immigration.

Whether Americans will admit it or not, there is an everlasting bad opinion toward immigrants. Because most immigrants do not fit the stereotype of a lazy, welfare mooch, Americans should change their poor attitude toward immigration. Migration Policy states that, “In 2016 the U.S. immigrant population stood at more than 41.3 million, or 13 percent, of the total U.S. population of 316.1 million.” We have such a large population of immigrants that it is the actual norm and the bad judgement needs to change in order to ensure liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness for all.

Immigrants who came to the U.S. were putting themselves at risk by giving their whole life up and bringing everything they owned here. For many of those immigrants who came here the pull factors were greater than the push factors. The pull factors were jobs in factories, railroads. For example, in the “ 1850’s, gold fever had lured 20,000 chinese men to San Fransisco.”(Why They Came to America) Another example is “coolies” were american businesspeople actively sought Chinese contract laborers.”( Why They Came to America) The chinese were given the opportunity to build railroads in the U.S. Another important pull factor was the homestead act, which gave away free land. In the U.S there was also religious and political freedoms. Another pull

South of Texas, a small woman with tiny children is walking through a dusty, crowded field. The sun is blazing hot, and two middle-aged, plump men are rolling around on the ground, fighting. There are a few small shops selling rotten apples, bananas, and fresh water. The woman can only afford to buy two decent-looking apples, two bananas, and fresh water for her children. This is the life of a Mexican with hardly any money to afford food. She does not know that a warm, welcoming, affordable country sits just 20 miles north of her. The United States is a destination for most immigrants including Mexicans and houses up to 26 million Mexican immigrants, making the Mexicans one important group of immigrants who have come to the U.S.
