Thousands of immigrant children have been reported to have a wide variety of mental problems which are ...

The issue of illegal immigration in the United States is an extremely polarizing issue, one which divides Americans and is a constant hot button issue in American politics. Illegal immigration can be defined as the entry of a non-legal citizen who has not gone through proper legal channels to gain residency in the United States. These individuals reside in the country and even work within it, all while not being registered or legally recognized as an official US citizen. Most illegal immigrants in America come from Mexico and other Latin American nations, and can be found in all areas of the ...

In twenty-first century America, the issue of immigration, particularly Mexican immigration (both “legal” and “illegal”) is ever-present in political, economic and social discourse. “The issue of immigration touches the Mexican-origin population more than any other ethnic group in the United States,” (Jiminez 2007, 599). With such attention focused on this particular ethnic group, it is interesting to consider the tribal, cultural, racial, ethnic, and national identity of this group. How do Mexican immigrants express their identity in the above-stated terms? What is the nature of Mexican immigrant communities?

I. Introduction

Background

The impact of globalization has greatly increased the number of immigrants. The surge in the number of immigrants is projected to be on the rise especially within major geographical locations of the world. According to the UN population division, half of these immigrants are women while in some locations; the number of women immigrants forms the overwhelming majority. Migration is therefore one of the factors that have been linked to women vulnerability. Through migration, women become more dependent on their racial communities, families, employers, and husbands. Violence against women has been identified to be a special risk for ...

Literature as a Way to Express Immigration and Ethnicity

When exploring the varying attributes of immigration and its connection to ethnicity and national identity, one of the best ways to examine these issues is through literature. While literature does not provide the objectivity of facts and figures, narrative fiction in literature provides endless avenues for subjective, thematic discussion about the broader emotional and human issues surrounding topics like immigration. A number of fantastic works tackling themes of immigration help to reach the core of the issues that immigrants must face in their new country, particularly as they relate to generation gaps and cultural acclimation. Social sciences and ...

Introduction

Canada has over time been attracting a high number of immigrants each year. This number has also been increasing each year (Reitz, 2005). About 20% of the country’s population is made up of foreigners. Based on the data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the annual immigration flow of the country is now one of the highest among the OECD members. For example, in the year 2011, the country received some 249,000 new immigrants, which was more than the number it received in 2010 (281,000). The two main cited reasons for this immigration are job ...

As the development of transportation and communication technology has increased in light of globalization, immigration has had a significant impact on world politics, and it has become a central theme in political discussions focusing on international relations. In light of the substantial and ongoing issue of American immigration, immigrant populations are dealing with prejudice, unfairness, and xenophobia more than ever before. Given America’s status as the great melting pot, it is one of the biggest receivers of immigrants from other countries, thus, the impact that caused by immigrants is a crucial factor that affects many aspects of the American society and ...

In most cases, the decisions that focused on education are believed to be neutral. The outcome of education tends to create a different perspective since other performs well compared to other groups. Richard Rothstein asserts that Immigration during 1880 to 1915 saw few Americans succeed on issues of academics. On the same note, immigrates of all backgrounds underperformed in school. The children and grandchildren of European immigrants fared well in school. The myth that first-generation immigrants made it in academics tends to create various debatable issues. Immigration is one of the contentious issues in the United States. Education is one ...

In her article “Framing Cultural Difference: Immigrant Women and Discourses of Tradition,” Volpp portrays how immigrant culture can confine the lives of immigrants to a troubling conflict regarding whether they should remain traditional or become modern. To support her central argument, she elucidates the case of Tina Isa, a 16-year old immigrant Palestinian girl who was murdered in the U.S. by her own parents. Volpp argues that specific important facts become indecipherable because of the conflict of remaining traditional or becoming modern, where the powerful context within which violence against women takes place is ignored or not adequately emphasized. Volpp argues ...

Introduction

Registered nurses are faced with the responsibilities of not only treating and managing health conditions in patients, but also promoting health in an effort to prevent the development of diseases. Nurses can achieve this role by advocating for certain changes that improve the lives of their patients, or through educating the target population on how to manage or improve their health statuses. Health promotion aims at either behavioral changes or empowerment of the target population (Chinn, 2011). This paper will, therefore, discuss how the community nurse, using an empowerment approach, could promote health literacy. The chosen scenario for this ...

Early Canadian Multicultural Policy towards Ethnic Minorities: A Historical Background

It is significant to see that early Canadian multicultural policies towards ethnic minorities must be interpreted in two different outlooks. Firstly, there was a Government official policy towards the French Canadians. Throughout the British colonial era, British authorities generally enforced multicultural policies that were both prejudiced and assimilative with the aim to bring this ethnic group into the British control. Since Confederation, nevertheless, French Canadians were able to gain significant political and legal independence rights. This consisted of some political freedom through the acknowledgment of Quebec as a province, representation in political bodies, and legal language rights. In contrast, there ...

Immigrant Experience and Teenage Love in Diaz’s “How to Date a Brown Girl (Black Girl, White Girl or Halfie)"

Throughout its history, one of the characteristics of the United States of America has been the immigrant experience that has developed on its soil. The hardships of these people, especially of those that come from Latin American countries, are one of the most important recurring themes in Junot Diaz’s oeuvre. This famous Dominican-American writer has been showered with praise from critics both at a national and at an international level, earning him many prizes and distinctions, including the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, a MacArthur Fellowship and a professorship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This short story is one of his ...

Tradition and culture is an important theme in immigrant literature, especially between generations. There is a certain anxiety that develops in the relationship between parents and children of immigrant cultures; the younger generation is eager to shuck the exotic, alienating traditions of their parent’s host nation in order to fit in, while the older generation fears the ending of the traditions that helped define who they are and their culture. Meanwhile, these children of immigrants maintain a certain longing for their culture’s traditions, creating a metaphysical tug-of-war that occurs within these divided family dynamics. These tensions and anxieties are reflected ...

The article “The New Immigrant and The Issue of Assimilation” by Tamar Jacoby in The Aims of Argument 7th ed.; Crusius and Channell (Eds.) 2009; McGraw Hill is a detailed account of the comparative scenario of immigrant prospect in US in terms of its economy, society, nation and an intriguing future of the generations to come. Developed more based on statistics and general empirical observation and trends, Jacoby, however, seems to have over generalized the issue in some respects. Let us take a tour delving deeper into what the article represents. The article seems to have a target audience of socio- ...

The approach taken in the construction of the argument in this essay is based on the proposition that companies and firms which employ illegal immigrants face more risks than the advantages that are poised by the adoption of this action. There is a thorough exposition into the legal demerits that lurk and have the highest chance of affecting the firms thus causing dire consequences in the overall functioning of the companies concerned. While this consequence will affect the functioning and output of the company, the image of the firms also is placed at stake. The paper observes the consequences that a ...

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE

I. INTRODUCTION In the course of acting as administrator of a victim advocacy agency, there are many instances in which the administrator must interact with individuals of other cultures and other backgrounds. Intimate partner violence occurs across all cultures, regardless of race, age, gender, or cultural status; however, certain societies have normalized intimate partner violence much moreso than American society has. Understanding the normalization of partner violence and the ways that this normalization can hinder women when they seek help for their problems is fundamentally important, particularly when these women are expected to act within the framework of a society ...

HISTORIES OF IMMIGRANT AUSTRALIA

- Summary Subsequent to on site study in Williamstown (9 August 2013) and analysis of primary and secondary historical sources, this report imply that most of the existing nineteenth century edifices of Williamstown correlate to an era following the mass migration of the Gold Rush period. Nevertheless, whilst subjective buildings may not expound or reinforce attributes of the immigrant, when taken jointly and measured in connection to the general waterfront landscape they do give some obvious understanding of the immigrants’ experiences. They also display the need of colonial Victoria to hastily structure community and social life so ...

Nativism has long been a central human behavior, dating back to the very beginning of time. Outsiders in majority cultures suffer in many ways. Their linguistic hurdles in interacting with the majority culture open them up to the victimization that comes with being cheated. Whether taking place in ancient times or during the twenty-first century, it has been very difficult, at times, for new immigrants to succeed in their new land. Sometimes they go to a land that does not have enough opportunities for their new residents, and so things become tense between the original residents and the newcomers. So many ...

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IMMIGRATION REFORMS INTRODUCTION On November 20 2014, President Obama spoke on immigration and stated, “We were strangers once, too. And whether our forebears were strangers who crossed the Atlantic, or the Pacific, or the Rio Grande, we are here only because this country welcomed them in, and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like, or what our last names are, or how we worship”. The United States of America has existed as a country with many immigrants originating from those who initially crossed the bridge that ...

“The Immigrant Advantage: What We Can Learn from Newcomers to America about Health, Happiness, and Hope,” written by the famous journalist Claudia Kolker after inspired from her immigrant friends in the United States is one of the unique literary works.

In recent years, the increase in immigrants to the United States increased tremendously and undoubtedly has an impact on the nation’s society and the economy. However, the process of migration has a tremendous impact on the extinction of the cultures of the migrants. Children, in particular, face psychological challenges as they try to adapt to the changes in the culture. Nevertheless, the children adjust eventually.

Introduction

In the ever changing business environment, employers are looking for the best strategies that can be used to reduce the costs of production. The factors of production such as labor, land, and capital have become expensive. However, employers have capitalized on reducing the costs of labor in order to reduce the costs that go into the production of goods and services. As indicated in the two empirical studies “Just a Temp: Experience and Structure of Alienation in Temporary and Clerical Employment” by Jackie Krasas Rogers and “The rhetoric of the `good worker' versus the realities of employers' use and the ...

The article, “15 years on the Bottom Rung” by Anthony DePalma highlights the tough situation faced by modern immigrants from Mexico by contrasting a typical story of one with that of a Greek immigrant who came to the United States illegally in the late 1940s. The article points out that although both the Greek immigrant and the Mexican immigrant came from roughly the same circumstances, the Greek was able to work his way up the economic ladder well into the middle class, while the Mexican immigrant worked for fifteen years and remains in the lower economic class working entry-level jobs. The ...

In the wake of globalization, diversity has become an indispensable factor for attainment of success in the corporate world. Diversity has been found to provide not only new ways of thinking, but also fresh perspectives. Unfortunately, although diversity has grown bigger than ever, discrimination against immigrants is still perpetrated. The growth of the United States of America and the subject of immigration cannot be separated. Immigrants have had a critical role in the development of the economic prowess of the US. However, immigrants still face discrimination in the workplace in the current civilized era. This paper discusses how immigrant discrimination ...

Introduction

Canada is known as a diverse multicultural society with its main reliance on immigration to prop up the population and has become ethnically diverse through the growth of the visible minority population. Every year Canada welcomes 225,000 immigrants. Recent demographic census of Canada suggests that over the next decade visible minorities will represent almost a quarter of the population of Canada and half of the population of Toronto and Vancouver. Andrew Cardozo and Ravi Pandaker argue that issues related to ethnicity should be treated in the policy foreground (Cardozo and Pandaker, 7). This study will argue that not enough attention ...

Intersectionality of sexuality and poor immigrant women

Intersectionality of sexuality and poor immigrant women Basically, intersectionality refers to the study of intersections between systems or forms of domination, discrimination or oppression. While race, class and power intersection constitute the major structural elements of many Latina and black women experience in shelters of battering, it is worth noting that sexuality intersection exist in other sites. For the poor immigrant women, their condition of being immigrants can put them in a vulnerable status that are coercive, though not reducible to the economic class easily (Lockhart & Danis, 2010). For instance, according to the immigration Act of 1986, someone who ...

The United States is considered as a nation of immigrants and rightly so.

At this time, there are more than ten million immigrants living in the United States, as per the record of the government. This was the right path, used by those people who in couples or with family migrate to the country of US legally. Now coming towards the darker side, there are ...

Immigration Modernization Act of 2013

Introduction The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013, technically known as, S.744 is an immigration bill introduced by Senator Charles Schumer and co-sponsored by seven others of ‘Gang of Eight’ in 2013 ("S.744: An Act" 2013). This bill tries to overhaul the century old immigration act by proposing major changes in the areas of border security, immigrant visa, interior enforcement, and reforms to non-immigrant visa programs. Some believe that if this bill is not passed by the Congress, it would result in a stalemate with a problem of broken immigration system already prevailing in the USA. ...

Introduction

The immigration legislation in the U.S. today is the product of decades worth of political wrangling and public anger on both sides of the debate. The immigration debate has gone back and forth between the two political parties in this country to such a degree that there is de facto compromise on the elements of reform, and now all we have to do is implement the reforms that are already in place. The argument has gone back and forth for decades with both Democratic and Republican regimes signing legislation that encourages immigration then opposes immigration. The full circle is here ...

The move to grant driver’s licenses to the illegal immigrants was to ensure the safety of the state road and enable security officials to track residents who lived in the shadows. Although the move was regarded as a political strategy, the immigrants advocated the proposal. The congress signed a bill that allowed illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. However, the plan received great criticism from democrats and republicans, as well as lawmakers who argued that it would provide an opening for terrorists. This also made Hillary Clinton, a presidential hopeful to disavow the proposal after waffling on the issue at ...

Immigration-The American Dream

Ever since its discovery, the North-American continent has been the synonym for a prosperous country where by working hard one can achieve a fulfilled life and rich and lucrative career. Every day, people from different countries enter the USA in search for a better life for themselves and their children as well. One can notice the glimpse of hope, admiration, and fear in their eyes as they set out on this journey. However, they have to forget their previous social position, their university degrees, their ethnical background, and have to start from the beginning. As children, we listen to so many stories ...

The story is about the Mexican immigrant family travel “the circuit” of crop harvesting jobs around California. The story reflects the extreme poverty and poor living conditions which the immigrant’s family was experiencing. The oldest son narrates the story explaining the disappointments they pass throughout to the hard work, constant movement, and seasonality of the job as well as the children having to skip school to work. The theme of the story is the survival of the immigrant family in a foreign land. Use of imagery paints the theme. The speaker describes the structures and life in a dramatic ...

It is the general perception among the American society that earlier immigrates were successful compared to the immigrants of the current generation. Although this claim could be partially true based on one’s arguments as extracted from their experiences, the statement is basically a myth. This is because recent Pew Research center’s Statistics suggests that the inverse is true. The history course of the immigrants to the US radically shifted and took another direction after 1965 (Duggan et al., 2013). 1965 is the year during which the abolishment of the origins quota system law was put in place. As a ...

The immigrant families are considered inferior and uncivilized. The dominant race fails to embrace the diversity presented by the immigrant families. Particularly, the dominant race blames the immigrant families for various societal ills that are unrelated to their populations in certain geographical areas. For example, the society believes that the immigrant families have prompted economic recession and increased unemployment rates. Furthermore, the society believes that diversities in race, religion and language amid the mainstream group and the migrant subgroups result to cultural misunderstanding. In this respect, the mainstream citizens treat the immigrant families ruthlessly with hatred and discrimination as ...

Introduction to the background of the story.

The story of Ramon Tianguis Perez gives some insight in the process of being an American alien who is an illegal immigrant in an alien country. He lived every day in fear of being arrested and the worst being deportation to his native country. He was an immigrant without legal documents, a driving license and worst of it all he accidentally hit another car at the highway. In his eye opening essay he uses narration and definition to catch the reader’s attention. The essay is an interesting revelation of an immigrant from Mexico who fights to maintain his ...

In Brumberg’s chapter “Tales Out of School,” he details how young Jewish immigrants learned and were integrated into the American school system. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was the passage about the growing Americanization of the students of these schools, regardless of heritage:

“Bleeding form and content, ritual and subject matter, the schools provided its immigrant students with a new “American” persona. The school clerk often changed the names of recent arrivals. Among these interviewed, we find Moses changed to Morris, and Nachum to Nathan. Last names became altered as well.”

This idea is extremely disconcerting ...

Cheers to technology and the internet, the world has over the years turned to be a small village where physical and geographical barriers that hindered people’s movement from continent to continent no longer exist. As a result, people’s movements are no longer mired geographically, but rather by man-made policies. Such policies are termed as immigration policies. They denote a country’s set of rules and regulations that are formulated with the objective of guiding people entering and leaving the country. Worth mentioning early on is the fact that each and every country formulates its own set of immigration policies, and ...

Question 1

The strike at the Lawrence textile which occurred in 1912 involved immigrant employees in Lawrence. The strike occurred after the mill owners threatened to cut wages of its workers after a reduction of working hours which shortened the work. Therefore, I think Volse is the account of the1912 Lawrence Strike that I find most credible and compelling. This is so because account gives detailed information on the 1912 Lawrence strike by explaining all the participants of the strike, including the owner of the mill. This account gives full information about the cause of the strike, what happened during and after ...

Abstract

The onset of immigration had long been a part of American history since its discovery in the 1600s and had shaped the country’s society and government throughout the years. In the early years, America had gladly opened its doors to the world without restrictions and some aided in the liberation of the country from English rule and into independence. However, as the years progressed, restrictions were imposed by the government due to the fear of these immigrants and eventually, due to the onset of illegal immigration. Reforms left and right were implemented to sustain America’s security, economy and ...

Through this activity, refugees are able to adapt to the environment with no problems, and also intermingle with citizens and ...

Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle is an exposé of the lives of immigrant workers of the meatpacking industry in Chicago. It revolves around the lives of a Lithuanian family who went to the United States in the hopes of living a better life but ended up destroyed and toyed by the rotten capitalist system. Sinclair uses the idea of the Darwinian evolution in a jungle, where powerless immigrant workers are preyed upon by cruel, wealthy and corrupt capitalists. The book’s agenda was to provide a compelling critique of capitalism, and raise a socialist alternative. It was meant to make people realize the ...

Immigrants represent a worthy proportion of the population in the United States. The immigrants took part in the First World War when the United States entered it in 1917. It was quite subtle that one out of the five soldiers belongs to the immigrants who sacrifice themselves to serve the nation. In the book, The Long Way Home, David Laskin represents the heroic character of dozen immigrant men. These men were born in Europe who got emigrated to the United States in search of faith and liberty, and ended up fighting with American armed forces in The Great War. These ...
