    1263 Words  | 6 Pages

    It is Time Attempting to escape poverty and violence, immigrants are obligated to leave everything behind in their country and embark for the United States illegally. Because of the relentless threats received from notorious gangs, many undocumented immigrants opt for illegal entrance as opposed to waiting in the “imaginary ‘immigration line’” for an immigration visa which “is already 4.4 million people long” (Santana, 2014). After being coerced to join a gang, my father was forced to hop on a daunting train called “La Bestia” from El Salvador to the U.S. I can attest that my father is a hardworking individual who has contributed to this nation. Avoiding any bias, I believe it is unethical and inhumane to send those who come to this nation

  • Mexican Migrants Summary

    322 Words  | 2 Pages

    Chapter 16 from the book Mexican Migrants by Hellman talks about how he started seeing life differently when he met Francisco. When he met Francisco he noticed he was a very reserved man. He believed that the actions immigrants do reflect on everyone, for example if they see immigrants being criminals now everyone will think everyone is like that. I agree with Francisco because some people might meet the wrong and bad Mexican immigrants and will judge everyone out of one person, then later this becomes hard to make that person believe that not everyone is like the first person he encounter with. The problem with esquineros was that they stood all day hoping to get picked to go work with a contractor on a construction site.

  • Immigrants In Enrique's Journey By Sonia Nazario

    1487 Words  | 6 Pages

    Immigration is a very current issue that is extremely complex and multifaceted, due to the variety of different people it affects and the impact it can have on societies as a whole. The decision to immigrate is not an easy one and is influenced by many factors that can be defined as push or pull factors. A push factor is a condition, typically negative, that compels people to leave their homes for somewhere new and can be accompanied by other push factors and pull factors, which are conditions that entice people to a new place, typically a positive attribute of another location.

  • Gutierrez On Immigration Analysis

    94 Words  | 1 Pages

    Gutierrez explains how the annexation of the Southwest after 1848 and the subsequent marginalization of Mexican Americans led to the forging of a collective ethnic identity that enabled the population to cope with the contradictory messages received from United States society. Large influxes of Mexican immigrants to the United States between 1890 and 1920, however, altered this balance. Consequently, Mexican Americans developed ambivalent attitudes towards this wave of immigration, fearing that the immigrants represented an economic threat. The conflict that emerged during this period set the stage for Mexican/Mexican-American relations for years to

  • The Latino Migrant Movement

    292 Words  | 2 Pages

    This book explores the relational forces of the Latino migrant movement and the homeland security state. From 2001-2012, the intensification of deportations towards the Latino community increased from 180,000 to 400,000+ deportations. Although the book frames this period as a time of great state repression and violence, it has been categorized as a time of great resistance, organization, and mobilization and analyzes the 2006 Mega Marches. The author takes a Gramscian approach to illustrate how the struggle for immigrant politics occurs at both the state level and that of civil society. Gonzales expands on the role of immigrant right activists and the ways they have framed their rights claims.

    Describe the “New Immigration”, and explain how it differed from the “Old Immigration” and why it aroused opposition from many Native-Born Americans. Antiforeignism was not a new concept in America in the 1880s. It had begun in the 1840s when the first large influx of immigrants emigrated to America, predominantly from Ireland and Germany.

Fast forward forty years later and the Irish and the German have become common place amongst the native born Americans and the new wave of immigrants emerges.

    I honestly feel if they cherish and represent the United States then they should be let off a little bit. They do at least fill in the jobs that others won’t do. Immigrants do take care of our lawns, work in restaurants, fix our roofs repair some of our streets and work hours in the winter time when people need to get to school, work and other places. They do snow removal and keep it safe for families, when they have families at home waiting for them. If they are making money, instead of doing nothing then, I feel they have every right to be here.
