What Are The Problems Faced By Immigrants

Most immigrants usually fill essential service jobs in the economy, which are vacant. Unfortunately, like new immigrants throughout U.S. history, “they experience conditions that are

Many people migrate to the USA for several reasons, to get better life. As we all know the USA is highly developed economically and technologically, and it can become a different world to most immigrants. Thus, immigrants face various challenges during the first and second year of their entrance in to the USA. Among the challenges, language, getting a job and culture are common for most of immigrants.

Migration is not a new phenomenon throughout the history of human, but the issue of migration has become more of a problem since the emerging of modern states. The distinction between immigrants and local citizens has become official with the emergence of nation-state authority and the ideas of sovereignty, citizenship and nationality. From the 19th century, the control of passport and visa has made the borders between immigrants and citizens even clearer and more identified. Today, as there are more restrictions on entering a country, states have to deal with regulating policies for immigration to control the influx of people

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.

The changing environments throughout the ages have caused the movement of thousands of families out of their homelands. Whether forced to make such decisions or doing so by their own desires, all immigrants have had to survive the physical and psychological challenges encountered along the way. To speak about the experiences of all these different people using the same ideas and examples would be quite inaccurate. They all, however, had to live through similar situations and deal with similar problems. Many of them succeeded and found the better future they were looking for. Many others found only hardship and experienced the destruction of their hopes and dreams. All of them were transformed.

Immigrants from Latin countries moved to the U.S because of ongoing conflicts in their home country. Most of these Immigrants began their life in Miami where there was a large number of them. One challenge these immigrants faced is language barriers. It was hard for them to fit in with society because they didn't speak English which is crucial. Apart from that they also encountered discrimination by the local citizens who claimed they couldn't find any English speaking person in stores. The local population viewed them as invaders and it led to protests demanding laws that require all of them to speak English. Some states passed these laws which made immigrants feel unwelcome and rejected by the society. In order to earn a living and support

They face discrimination and unfair treatment based on their lack of residency, accent, nativity status and unequal social benefits such as health care. Discrimination can affect their lifestyle negatively, keeping them from getting jobs and making their life better which in turn adds more stress. Immigrates migrating from a foreign country to make a better life but companies discriminate against them based on their immigration status “Immigration Status Discrimination occurs when an employer treats an individual differently based upon their citizenship or immigration status.” (Workplace Fairness, 2017) an example from Canadian Immigration Experience: Dreams confront Reality a participant in there study said “felt frustrated as they felt potential employers discriminated against them and that they were overlooked as candidates for more highly qualified and better paying positions.” (Khan, Watson, 2005) Due to such actions a law was created; “Immigration Reform and Control Act” a federal law that protects individuals from employment discrimination based on immigration or citizenship

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.

→ Undocumented immigrants faced much kind of challenges among them; one of main difficulties arises from languages. For example difference between American slang and formal English. Likewise Jose Antonio describes in the video difference between “ what’s up? Where he replied “the sky”, if I were in his place I would have replied it as same way like he did. Also another challenged would be bullying by classmate they will make fun of your accent, if you have notice most immigrant kids won’t talk in front of the whole class because if they answer question asked by teacher they have to repeat several times so that teacher can understand fear of rejection, embarrassment and later bullying from you classmate outside of class. This why most immigrant

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,

Many people decide to migrate, but they do it for different reasons. Some do it to be with family, while others do it to get more opportunities and a chance for a better life. In other cases, people move because that is the only way they will survive because their country is a war zone. There are however many challenges that immigrants have to overcome to get a chance at a better life. Through the eyes of Obinze, Ifemelu and Auntie Uju, the main characters in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah, readers get a taste of the motivations and challenges immigrants face.

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

As I read the title, I assumed I would be reading about the hardships and the challenges that immigrants face. The challenges they face while needing some type of medical service whether it is occupational therapy or a doctor check-up. Many immigrants fear or simply do not have the communication to seek the help they need and it is difficult for them to overcome these challenges.

Nowadays migration is getting to be one of the dominant characteristics of the modern world since at the present moment that movement of people and migration of citizens from one country to another become a norm. Not surprisingly that such unparallel and extremely high level of migration results in substantial demographic, ethnical and socio-cultural changes in many countries of the world.

This paper will examine the problem of Immigration and Immigration Law. I will first discuss what Immigration Law is and how it works, then I will define the number one problem of immigration laws, “illegal immigration” and why it’s so important to follow procedures. It will also address the consequences after violating the laws. Next the paper discusses three policy solutions to the problems of illegal immigration: Legalization of Immigrants, Strengthen Border Security, and Immigration Amnesty. The paper will first explain each policy solution. Then it will analyze the pros and cons, and potential strengths and weakness of each solution. Last this paper will offer some personal observations on the problem of immigration.
