Critical Race Studies
Critical Race Studies is useful in making the connections on how the different systems come in to play in affecting this population. The matter CRS is a useful tool in examining illegal immigration is that with the lenses of it individuals are able to examine more in depth how this group gets discriminated and it is factors. CRS uses voices of color which allows individuals narratives to be heard that otherwise would not be. Moreover, it allows for individuals to get the full story not the single story that they get from the society and media. Like the Adichie video The Danger of a Single Story, she only knew the stories that she had heard from others but had never ventured into hearing the stories from the actual individuals that she would
make all those assumptions on but when she did hear the narratives from the people themselves her view change (2009.) Another tenet that was used was interest convergence which shows how society uses this group out of self interest, but when they are not needed they turn a bad view on them. As stated by Aviva Chomsky (1977) that the factory and agriculture business strive to recruit undocumented workers for their ability to work long hours and cheap wages, yet when the workers want a living wage or better working conditions they simply deport them. Social workers can adovate for this group by changing policies that can protect them from deportation after a certain amount the person has been working with the employer. In addition, by using this strength base perspective of giving these individuals a voice they will be more empower to speak out of their discriminatory treatments they received in the job force. Conversely, this topic in a CRS lens permits viewers to take note that this marginalized group is like anyone else that has gone or going through the same struggles any person goes through but for them is even more difficult because they have limited resources to turn to. Marsiglia & Kulis (2009) argue that undocumented immigrants have restricted opportunities which turn to lower levels education and general well-being. By viewing in the CRS perspective we can shed light on the problem that everyone knows about, but nobody is willing to speak for this group and give them their voice. It allows those borders of unsafe and safe to be brought down and let this group to vocalize their struggles and success ( Anzaldua, 1999.)
