  • Book Report On Enrique's Journey By Nazario

    219 Words  | 1 Pages

    The book I am reading is Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario. I predict that the author will explore the human rights issue of Immigration Laws and the plight of illegal aliens in the United States. I believe that this issue will be important in the story because Enrique the main character in the story is very driven to find his mother who has gone herself illegally to the United States to earn money to provide an education for her children and to better the life of her family. I made this prediction because Lourdes leaves her children in Honduras as she goes to make money in the United States and her son Enrique is left saying “Donde esta mi mami?” “Where is my mom?”

  • Summary Of The Working Poor Invisible In America By David Shipler

    1974 Words  | 8 Pages

    The lack of proper English and understanding of the American culture was a huge problem for those working in sweatshops in Los Angeles, emphasized profoundly by Shipler. These individuals were unable to escape the low wages they were receiving for many reasons, including lack of English or fear of being deported. A consequential result of language barriers and immigration also affects the ability to obtain proper health care for families and children. In chapter eight, Shipler writes, “ Many legal immigrants are reluctant to accept food stamps or Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, to which they may be entitled, because they are afraid they will be judged ‘public charges’ and therefore be denied permanent residence leading to citizenship” (Shipler, 207). This is a great example of how families are not receiving benefits they deserve due to fear of deportation or not gaining citizenship.
