Unocumented Latino Immigrants

Bill Gate, a co-founder of Microsoft, used to say, “Life is not fair. Get used to it.” He thinks people are unique and grow up in different environment, so some will have more advantage than other, but based on “From Report of the Massachusetts Board of Education, 1848,” Horace Mann, a Massachusetts legislature in 1827, had different view point as he believed everyone is equal. Mann was born in poverty, but through the hard working, he contributed incredible ideals to education; however, his myth might be not right in the future as his perception was come from his experience and study in nineteenth century, which is not suit with today society. For example, the wealth distribution of his time was different, and his education system was also

The negative stereotype that Latinos are indefinitely stuck in poverty is created by the tendency to average the progress of new immigrants to those of older immigrants. “Since Latino immigration continues, averaging together the poverty rates or homeownership levels of large numbers of people who arrived recently with those who have been here for decades can provide a skewed view of progress,” (America’s Assimilating Hispanics). However, longitudinal studies, when properly measured and displayed, show that Latino immigrants are making economic progress. Latino assimilation transcends the realms of politic and economic to touch culture, as English language acquisition shows. Supporters of anti- Latino immigration legislation tend to cite the prevalence of Spanish-speaking communities across the U.S, and even North Carolina, as evidence that Latino immigrants are failing to assimilate.

People rather have their safety and security taken away in order to keep their freedom. For instance, many Mexican immigrants try so hard to reach the American Dream, so they are willing to risk their lives to obtain that freedom and opportunity for education. They walk through the burning hot deserts, go through dehydration for many days, and even more hardships in order to leave their problems in Mexico and get a fresh new start at life. Even when in America, illegal Mexican immigrants face every day worrying whether they will be deported and lose their chance at having the American Dream. They sacrifice themselves and all their possessions back at Mexico just to come to America in order to obtain the freedom that citizens get.

The color line and racial inequality are influent factors in the process. Italian, Polish, and Jewish may not be melted into the majority group when they first came to The Unite States, but they and their children at some point of their life will be assimilated by becoming white and the upward mobility will bring advantages. (Morrison, 1993,) but for people of color such as Hispanic population assimilation means downward mobility; assimilation takes a very different path. Due to the prevalence of negative stereotypes and prejudicial beliefs. Today’s Hispanic immigrants are perceived as poor, ignorant, unclean, illegal aliens, less intellectual and they are more likely to be associated to have a high rate of teenage pregnancies and be involved in criminal behaviors and drugs.

Public Education and the Undocumented Immigrant Introduction Thank you all for being here this evening to discuss an issue in the public school system. Undocumented immigrants are entering this country every day and their children are being educated in our schools. A child of an undocumented immigrant, in this case, refers to one whose parents have entered this country without proper legal documentation (Bray, 2016). Undocumented immigrant children may or may not have been born in this country. Judicial Case

Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and most other

Here in the United States of America annually, approximately 65,000 undocumented children complete their secondary education. while most children their ages are applying to college, joining the military, or just perusing a career, these 65,000+ students are not. Despite often excelling academically in K- 12 education, being members of student government associations, and exerting great personal character. Their upward mobility to achieve their dreams often end at graduation. Despite being some of the brightest and most promising students; by not holding U.S. citizenship status these students are unable to apply for college, seek gainful employment, or frankly even acquire a driver license.

In recent discussions of immigration reform regarding the DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act, a controversial issue has been whether to allow undocumented students to pursue higher education without any specific criteria to qualify, or deny them access to it. On the one hand, some argue that “illegals” take away job opportunities after obtaining a college degree. On the other hand, however, others argue that undocumented students greatly benefit the economy through providing a larger educated workforce. In the words of one of this view’s main proponents, the DREAM Act “rewards motivated, hardworking young adults” for their work rather than grant a free ride to college to illegal immigrant students (Deverall).

Hispanics in the United States............ In the late 1900’s, many immigrants moved from around the world to seek a better life in the United States. Nowadays, though many Hispanics move here for many reasons. They like the US but, also for better jobs and pay for their family. Sometimes, we have to overcome challenges.

Amanda Faller Crystal Maldonado Christi Guzman Quantitative Reasoning Mexican Immigrants to the United States In this research paper our main focus is Mexican Immigrants. We will discuss the rate of Mexican Immigrants coming to the United States.

“An American to Mexicans/a Mexican to Americans” (Pat Mora). This is a quote from a poem about being Mexican American immigrant and all its struggles. In America immigrants will always be seen as immigrants, even if they are American citizens. Immigrants have trouble being successful in the the U.S. because of the way they are treated by U.S. born citizen - especially xenophobic people. This causes them unable to obtain freedom because they are undermined as citizens.

Between 2000 and 2011, the United States saw a thirty percent immigration population growth. The legal immigrant population has steadily rose over the eleven year period. While the unauthorized immigrant population has somewhat decreased over the period. In the periods first year 2000 the number of legal immigrants began at 31.1 million immigrants. While the unauthorized immigrants total was 8.4 million.

If they qualify the dream act will have a life changing opportunity for them. One of the advantages of the Dream Act is that they don’t see a child as an “Alien” just because they are not the same as everyone else. No one comes to the united states to follow the american dream to then realize that no one really does much to help them. Each year, approximately 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school, many at the top of their classes but cannot go to college, join the military, work, or otherwise pursue their dreams. Some of the people that initiated the dream act were Senator Richard Durbin and Representative Howard Berman.

The same complications occurs for documented immigrants as well in certain situations. Without these services, it’s challenging for immigrants to survive in the

Many of this immigrants do not have a car, a driver license, legal status in the country, a well paying stable job or money, hence the walking and bus riding. What they do have is children born in this country, a place to call home, multiple responsibilities associated with a household and a family, along with the daily worry of the possibility of deportation at any time. These are the pictures of many other illegal immigrants living in the country, poverty, fear, and daily struggles. Approximate 11.1 illegal immigrants were living in US in 2011 (Passel and Cohn, 2012). Over 6 million children live with at least one parent that is not legal in the country (Fry and Passel, 2009).
