    While interpreters and translators can work in any field, they frequently come across a sea of doubts when deciding what word to use, therefore, building a glossary on specialized terms can make our jobs more convenient. Even though this is a time-consuming task, at the end this will pay off. As my area of interest is interpreting in immigration settings, I have chosen to build a glossary on immigration based on the book from the series Current Controversies Immigration, by Debra A. Miller, published by Cynthia Sanner. Although immigration rates have decreased over the years, there is still a huge communication barrier between LEP (Limited English Proficiency) people and immigration staff, thus demanding the need for interpreters and translators.

  • Why Do Americans And Immigrants Conflict With Each Other

    312 Words  | 2 Pages

    If Americans and immigrants saw each other's sides then there wouldn't be such a big conflict between the two groups. Both sides provoke each other to prove that the other is wrong and they are right, but it ends up being a problem for both sides. If there could be an agreement between both groups and know where the limits are with both groups then there would be less of a problem. Obviously by making an agreement does not mean that they won’t have problems with each other, but it would minimize the casualties. Both sides are a major part of the country so they should recognize the importance of each other.

  • The DREAM Act

    For example, South Carolina barred undocumented students from attending public institutions of higher learning, and also barred them from being able to receive in-state tuition, and similar actions were taken in Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, and Ohio. Nevertheless, the few states that took a step forward into broadening access to postsecondary education provided tens of the 65,000 undocumented students that graduate from high school every year to continue on to college and a better future. Immigrants come to the United States for a number of reasons, and while many think it is to achieve the “American Dream”, it is unrealistic. The real reason for migration patterns is the simple fact that the U.S. allowed it for so long to benefit its economy in regards to labor shortages and accumulation of capital, especially with Mexico during the early nineteenth century. After all, Mexican immigrants make up approximately 70% of the undocumented population (Deverall).

    The most pressing issues facing Hispanics would have to be deportation of illegal immigrants. Honestly, most of the people that get deported are treated unjustly, because their goal in life was come to the United States and pursue the American dream of living a better life. Just like U.S. Citizens from other races have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, all Hispanics should too. To fix the issue, I would make sure that every Hispanic illegal immigrant in the United States goes through a background check and have their employers write recommendation letters in reference to their work ethics as well as comment of the person’s relationship with his fellow workers.
