Introduction.

Ecuador has a long migratory history and it is possible to distinguish two migratory processes very marked and different at the same time.
The first migratory process in Ecuador occurred around the 70's and 80's in which inhabitants of the provinces of Azuay and Cañar mainly had a constant migratory process in time, basically produced by the bankruptcy of the straw hats trade on which they based their economy.

The preferred destination was the United States, New York City, becoming the eighth largest Hispanic / Latino group and the second South American nationality after Colombia. This exodus of Ecuadorians made New York the third city with more Ecuadorians in the world, after Guayaquil and Quito. Fuente?

Remittances are mostly used to cover the basic needs of the family such as food, rent, light, water, etc. This allows an improvement in the relative degree of well-being of the families of the migrants and of the improvement of consumption levels.

Although remittances have a positive impact on the economy and constitute a fundamental pillar for dollarization we can’t leave aside the impact it has on the family, society and culture.

The greatest impact is on the family structure, since there are numerous single-parent families, is the presence of a single parent.
There are many children left in the care of grandparents or other close relatives, breaking that bond and core of society that is the family.
Family roles, especially of women who are heads of household and have new roles that mark changes in the way of relating with other family members.

    Since the late 1800s and, especially since the US signed the NAFTA and GATT, whose purpose is to reduce trade tariffs and therefore simplify the trade between U.S. and other countries, the contracted migration from Mexico to the US increased and converted slowly into undocumented migration born from necessity. Concluding, the topic of undocumented migration to the US splits the opinions and concerns large numbers of authors. Reyna Grande and Luis Alberto Urrea, both authors with a migrant background, discuss the subject of unauthorized immigration in their works.

  • Separation And Reunification Among Immigrant Families, By Reyna Grande

    809 Words  | 4 Pages

    The article “Making Up For the Lost Time: The Experience of Separation and Reunification Among Immigrant Families” by Carloa Suarez-Orozco et al. states that families who undergo the immigration process such as leaving to go to a new country causes separation between their children, emotionally, psychological, and behavioral. For instance, Grande’s father, Natalio left his family to work in the U.S. to provide for his family, Grande being at the age two years old and having no memory of him but the man behind the glass, was separated from her father at a young age. This indicates that while the Grande family was separated for a long period, they had all lost the connection they once had between them, the bond. Growing up, Grande’s parents were never around, her siblings, Mago and Carlos experienced separation at a young age.

    In fact, the first wave of Cuban migration that occurred in the Late 19th century led many Cuban immigrants to economic success. According to Gonzalez, Cuban independence wars from Spanish control caused around 10% of their population (around 110,000 people) to flee to the United States. Surprisingly, the U.S. welcomed many Cubans who then became citizens due to their ties to U.S. industry, especially the Ybor city cigar industry, which was one of the reasons so many people regularly passed between Cuba and Florida. For that reason, many Cuban people did not have to pass through immigration or customs (Gonzalez 110). Despite the Cuban migrants’ success in the 1800s, their status was a result of the United States exploitation of their resources and labor.

    Emigrants are those who exit their country. It is not common for people to leave their country of origin without necessity to do so. Individuals and or groups may migrate for reasons such as economic, social, environmental, and political.

  • Analysis Of Deportation

    Immigrants who are detained and deported face isolation as well as lack of proper medical attention. After living in the United States for years, having assimilated and found a job, whether it pays well or not, deportation leads to a culture shock upon returning to a place that may seem foreign now. One of the main reasons why people emigrate to the United States is to find better work; a pull factor. Upon arrival to their country of origin after they have been deported, they suffer economic deprivation, since it is difficult to find a job in a limited job market. And while it is dangerous to emigrate in the first place, many do it all over again because of push factors such as negative conditions in their country.
