Mexican Immigration Anthropology

Within the past one and a half centuries, ever since the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, it allowed the United States to take a large portion of land. Since then, many Mexicans have been trying to emigrate themselves over to America, leaving behind their homelands. Mexican immigration in the early 1900 's was a huge issue that impacted the United State, in areas such as urban population, employment and many other ways. The mass number of Mexican immigrant 's that migrated to the United States from Mexico was at nearly half million in between the years of 1920 and 1929.

The Arizona SB 1070 arguably may be one of the most controversial state immigration laws passed in Arizona. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, Republican Party, signed the bill into a law on April 23, 2010. The bill implemented three key provisions: it permits people to sue their local government, agencies, cities, and counties if they believe that the immigration law is not actively being enforced. Second, it requires that police officers, when practicable, check the immigration status and detain those they deem suspicious as residing illegally in the United States. The final provision require an individual to possess their immigration documentation at all time.

There is a story behind my skin. Most see me and see a young Mexican girl, but I am so much more. Behind my last name, there is my family. A family of migrant workers, immigrants, working class citizens and hard work. I am Aaliyah Olvera, and to me, being Hispanic means being strong.

Currently, the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona is concerned that illegal immigrants are detained and then deported without their belongings. Border Patrol agents confiscate detainee 's money, cell phones, ID cards and other belongings and in one third to one half of the cases, the detainees are deported and then dropped of in an unfamiliar Mexican town without their belongings. According to the ACLU of Arizona, this practice is contrary to international human rights. Deportees who are transported to a Mexican town where they do not know anyone and are alone, with nothing but the clothes on their backs are vulnerable. The Kino Border Initiative operates in Nogolas, the town where most of the Border Patrol buses leave deportees.

Citizens that are born in the U.S. are required to go to school to get an education so each and every citizen can have a great future. Why shouldn’t the kids of illegal immigrants not be able to go to school to have a good future? When the kids of illegal immigrants start U.S. schools, they feel like they’re equal to the kids that don’t have parents that are immigrants. When in school, they feel like they could actually live an American life and not be treated differently just because their guardians are immigrants. Kids of illegal immigrants should be able to go to school because most of the illegal immigrants enter the U.S. so their kids can have a better future than they (parents) do, schools can help the kids of illegal immigrants with their tuition, the United States has better schools than other places in the world.

My father and mother, being immigrants, have had a significant contribution to shaping my goals, perspectives, and ideals. Based on their experiences in America, I have developed more traits that I am proud to acknowledge, For instance, I have become a more ambitious and resilient person, which contributes to all of the work that I handle. I believe this was stemmed from watching my father come home from 12-hour shifts at an exhausting job each day. He was come a long way from when he first arrived in this country, working multiple minuscule jobs.

In this paper I have preferred to discuss the novel The Immigrant written by Manju Kapur a distinguished and an internationally acclaimed writer of the post-nineties era. She was born in Amritsar in 1948. She currently lives in Delhi, India.
