Refugees From Mexico And Central America

Due to so much violence between the gangs it has led to people to get out of the country. Most of them were children. Seeking a safer environment, the parents send their kids to the United States. Some of the kids travel alone while others travel with a parent or relative. More than 70,000 children had come to the United States. The children were from Mexico, and from the Northern Triangle- Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. The majority of the children had come from the Northern Triangle, with about 74% of the children. These children are either trying to reconnect with a parent that left to the United States years ago or help a family in crushing poverty, as well as other reasons. Fifty-eight percent of 400 youths that were interviews had said they had been threatened, fear of serious harm, had suffered, by gangs. Most of the kids that had come from Mexico are taken back while for the others that are coming from the Northern Triangle are placed into a temporary shelter while their deportation proceeding are made. There was a law in 2008 (Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act) that allows the children from Central America to have a court hearing before they are in a position to stay or be deported. The come of many children has been controversial because which was built under the Bush administration to deal with 6,000 to 8,000 children not with 52,000. The shelters that are

In conclusion, that's why I think the U.S should accept more refugees into the country. Many people are being affected with all the violence and all are in need of medical help that the U.S can provide to

America has long enjoyed a steady flow of immigrants from all walks of life. One of the most prominent groups to join the “The Great Melting Pot” in recent times is Mexican immigrants. In 2013, the Pew Research Center estimated that about 11.7 million immigrants from Mexico were living in the United States. Of these, “About two-thirds… arrived in the U.S. in 1990 or later.” (Gonzalez-Barrera and Lopez). Unfortunately, Mexican immigrants have not received that warmest of welcomes from a good number of Americans. Many in the United States have expressed concerns that Mexican immigrants pose a threat to “Americanism” (Gans, Replogle and Tichenor 399). Specifically, there is apprehension over use of the Spanish language by immigrants instead of the dominating English language, even though America has no official language (Cummins 128).

Refugees are individuals that are being forced to flee from their country of citizenship to another in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Western society tends to be judgmental towards people who do not look like their own and so it is very difficult for different cultures to be treated fairly. Recently, President Trump implemented a law that band Muslims, due to the stereotypically classifying them as terrorists. Muslims are being classified as others and treated very poorly due to their religious beliefs and instead, that should not be the case. In the media, Muslims are also portrayed poorly and they are seen as individuals coming to America to take over the country, when in fact they are just regular individuals seeking

It is very difficult for someone to leave their place of origin and arrive to the United States, in a melting pot of different cultures. Based on the module readings and the documentary, “Lost in Detention”, immigrant’s experiences many physical and mental damages to their health, which can make their new life in America, a negative, rather than a positive. Immigrants arrive to the country in overall relatively good health (in comparison to natives) and with a hopeful attitude. After a few years, immigrants began to suffer depression, anxiety and poor health due to the conditions that they are presented with.

The one story that opened my eyes was ali because she came to America and figured out how to speak. The immigrants were very scared to come to America. They had to learn a lot of things to come here. They had to get an education. They also need money to pay to get the education so they have to work for the money.

Immigrants from all of Latin America come to this country in look of a better life. Enrique came from the Central American country of Honduras. He came to the United States in search of prosperity and money to maintain his family back home. He went through the treacherous journey that is traveling through the jungle and desert in order to achieve his goal. The goal of making it alive to the country of opportunity, America. He found a job at a farm down in California. He was paid well, and made enough to maintain himself and family back in Honduras. 3 months after his arrival, he was caught by border patrol in a sting operation. He was later deported back to his home country. Many immigrants have gone through what Enrique has; it must be heart breaking to have your dreams taken right from you.

In this article Michael Shear explains how Washington face amount of pressure to respond to the migrant crises across Europeans by resettling more Syrians in the United State. The Germany leader appealed to other European countries to take a fair share of migrants. He also mentioned the limits USA put on migrants that come to United State. The United States Committee for refugee has urged president Obama to open American borders to 100,000 Syrians in the next year. He emphasized rescuing people who need the most. Some of the leaders of Europe disagree accepting migrants annually. Germany president said he would accept 500,000 migrants annually while Sweden leader couldn’t agree more. The Danish government advertised if they resettle migrants,

These inequities can be prevented if the refugees were more inclined and able to go to hospitals and health care services. Many refugees are entering undocumented and illegally. The fear of being caught and deported or separated from their families will lead them to prevent going to any government officials or health care services (Daynes 438). The fear will leave the refugees to feel and to be more vulnerable because they aren’t receiving the care they may need. Many of the efforts that have been made to provide aid have been more focused on the civil society and small teams of volunteers because some countries governments have restricted the entitlements of undocumented migrants (Roberts et al. 2). As a humanitarian effort in aiding in the

Threats of violence, mistreatment, and lack of food and water, this was reported by children in custody in the U.S. border seeking for asylum. Recently, United States has experiences a dramatic increase of migrants from Central America, especially children traveling in young age without the accompaniment of adult guardian. More then 60,000 unaccompanied children from age 3 to17 have been apprehended along the border this year. These children mainly came from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. This is a critical issue that demands proper attention and immediate actions, because children are brought here through smugglers are many of there are ill. However, the voices where divided to those who believe it 's an immigration problem and those think it 's a humanitarian crisis. However this struggle can be both, a political struggle and a humanity problem. I am very interested in the issue because of the long history of immigration policies changes in United States. I also did many researches about the United Nation’s (UN) role in reaction to human rights and other Non-Governmental Organization’s involvement (NGO). Furthermore, I think this is important for me as an international Students to understand the Chicano experience in the United State by looking into this contemporary issue Chicano and Latinos undergoes, I am able to understand through relating back to the history

Doctors Without Borders has a mission to “help people worldwide where the need is greatest, delivering emergency medical aid to people affected by conflict, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare” (Doctors Without Borders, 2016). Doctors Without Borders strives to provide services to those experiencing armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, and natural disasters. Over 30,000 doctors, medical professionals, and volunteers in over 60 countries provide these services daily. Among other accomplishments in 2014, Doctors Without Borders conducted more than eight million outpatient consultations, delivered 194,400 babies, performed over 81,000 surgical procedures, and treated more than 2.1 million people for malaria (Doctors Without Borders, 2016).

Refugee or race’s crisis was one of the world’s biggest problem, because it causes many problems in some countries. Likelihood, it causes poverty, economic and military issues, hunger, educational issues and a lot more. According to John Kerry (US secretary) refugee crisis’ were one of the world’s biggest threats right now, and he also thinks that ‘The refugee crisis is a problem of poverty, not just migration’.

Although volunteers for Medecins Sans Frontiers are commonly stationed in various countries with a dire healthcare worker shortage, regions with refugee camps and internally displaced persons are also a focus for this organization. Refugees and internally displaced persons often come from war torn regions and live in close confines with poor sanitation and limited resources. These living situations become a breeding ground for diseases and other health issues like malnutrition, yet the individuals lack access to any sort of healthcare. The organization also responds quickly when regions suddenly experience an increased need for healthcare, for example in times of an epidemic or a natural disaster. Medecins Sans Frontiers’ involvement across its varying regions and their attempt to address a broad spectrum of healthcare truly show how altruistic the organization is to individuals regardless of race, gender, or religion.

Many people have a different perspective and view’s about illegal immigrants, some are good however many are bad. My grandparents, father, and mother have lived in Mexico for most of their life, such a great place full of culture, smelling the sweet pastries coming from the local bakery. It all started back in 1997, the outskirts of a small ranch town in Mexico. My Father was enlisted and my Mother worked in a GMC electric wiring factory. I was the youngest of the siblings growing up the youngest was difficult I always got hand me down from all my cousins also. One day out of the blue my mother came home, she had told me that we were moving a week ago. However, I thought she was bluffing, sure enough, she wasn't “We leaving for the U.S” she had said I still recall that gloomy day like it was yesterday. A feeling of being older than six was sitting in, my life had just changed in a matter of seconds. The following day my father had packed everything. Had me wondering why we left most of our belonging little did me and my sister know, at the time she was seven “We are off to the U.S land of the free” as he described. That same day we arrived in the village of Palomas as we all looked to the distance all we could see is cactus and brush. What a view the bright red sun setting under the red rocks pass the horizon.

Violence against children is a phenomenon happening worldwide, in forms of physical, psychological violence. Children are deprived of care, basic social services, health care and education, child abuse, neglect, exploitation, forced to beg, trafficked. Children are still one of the social groups at risk, facing many problems that remain unresolved. Although the consequences may vary according to the type and severity of the violence, the short and long-term consequences for children are very often serious and destructive and are costly. The laws that protect children’s rights are often not effective.
