When these women come to the United States they want to better themselves and are in search of the American dream but this has some very grave consequences. They get abused and harassed and the reason that they decide to stay quiet is because they are afraid of going back to their country of origin. They refuse to accept losing the life they have in the United States and they decide to put up with all the abuse. They endanger their lives because they want to hold onto a piece of the American dream. My parents were immigrants and they picked fruit from fields and I’m glad that my mom had my dad besides her at all times. These women are willing to risk everything, including their bodies and self-esteem, in order to keep their jobs and stay in the United…
The subject for my interview is a female immigrant of the 1.5 generation. According to Feliciano (2016), as a 1.5 generation immigrant my respondent was born in another country but migrated as a child. For confidently purposes, my respondent will be referred to by the pseudonym Linda. Linda’s immigration story highlights a selective assimilation process evident through her learning of he English language and economic advancement, yet a failure in structural, marital, and identification assimilation accounted for by a negative context of reception and high vulnerability.…
Various reasons motivate people to leave their native countries. For a number of individuals, it is because of economic, political, and social factors, while for others, it is the matter of choice and opportunity. The following paper discusses the life of Jane and presents a sociological interpretation of her immigration experiences. For confidentiality and anonymity purposes, I will refer to the interviewee as Jane. Jane came to the United States in 2012. Since an early age, Jane was heavily involved in tennis since her parents wanted her to become a professional tennis player. When she was 18, she received an offer from Sierra College and Sacramento State University to play on the tennis team and pursue her studies in the U.S. As Jane recalls,…
The book "A history of women in America" overall I thought was a okay book. I like that the book told about women’s struggle and the situations they endured. Through those struggles they gave us a voice and major goals were accomplished. The women who spoke out and gave all women equal rights really made me feel and have a great pride in being a woman myself with the rights they fought for in present day America.…
In his article What Does Immigration Actually Cost Us by Thomas B. Edsall he shows us the ups and downs to immigrants in our country. Edsall does a good job of explaining both sides the democratic and republican views of this argument. He shows us some of the benefits for business. Edsall states the main benefit of immigrants in our country the benefit is for businesses. Edsall explains how the fact that immigrants will work for less money making the business more profitable for the owners and investors. There is a downside to this as Edsall says they are taking positions that Americans can be doing basically they are making it more of a challenge to get jobs. More downsides highlighted by Edsall shows the estimated costs of supporting the…
As we look back at the history of women and follow them thru time we see a lot of good. Before coming to America women were thought of just has house wife’s, child bearers and even servants. The idea of a lot of women migrating to America was the thought of a new life and change of thought when…
The benefits of immigration is that it allows us to fill our workforce with people willing to work, which in turn increases production. When immigrants come into this country they normally come to work and live the american dream. This desire, results in a work ethic that in some occasions cannot be matched by US citizens, so jobs that US citizens are unwilling to do are done by immigrants willing to work. This increase in employment generates more revenue for the Government through taxes. The more people in the US working the more money the Gov. will have. Immigration also diversifies our society, unlike any other country. The more diverse our country is the more we will learn about other cultures and judge others less. The cost of immigration is that it can undermine American workers because, immigrants are used to working for lower wages in other countries so when they come to the US they take jobs from americans because they work for less. This leaves many Americans unemployed and unhappy. Also, many immigrants that come into this country do not have much money, so they need Government aid. The increase in immigrants is a huge burden on public programs. Another cost, is that some immigrants come into the US to avoid prosecution from their country. Immigrants like this is a danger to our society and raises our crime rates. I agree with most of the immigration policies such as Arizona’s law that allows police officers to check anyone’s citizenship and report anyone who is illegally in this country. I agree with this policy because anyone in this country illegal is breaking the law and should be treated like a criminal. Im okay with allowing immigrants into this country, I do not want to close the boarders, however there is a right way to do it. A policy I disagree with is denying healthcare to an illegal immigrant. Although they are in the country illegally I do believe every human has the right to healthcare and should be assisted regardless of citizenship or willingness…
Immigration is the process of foreigners settling into another country permanently for the purpose of employment, education, or any other purpose. Immigration has been an issue to United States for decades. The question whether Immigration in US is harmful to the country or not has been debated since ages and will be a subject of debate in future too. We have seen that being immigrant in US has helped many of the immigrants whereas on the other side it has been a leading cause of problems like depression, suicide etc. Being immigrant in US for someone means a lot of difficulties in terms of adapting to the foreign soil. An individual has to start a new life from ground zero regardless of his/her position in the previous countries. There is an only 5% chance that any individual can continue the career from where he/she dropped from the country of origin which brings a lot of depression among the immigrants. For most people, being amongst friends and relatives means a lot and gives happiness and relief to their lives. In this case nothing can be a substitute of the affection of relationships. Being immigrants, they have to stay thousands of miles apart and have to suffer this separation each and every day which leads to loneliness. This can also be a cause of depression for more than 70% immigrants according to a survey report. Big difference in the skills and education also sets the immigrants back from finding the right job at the start. Even though an immigrant has knowledge and skills from their previous homeland but due to the requirement of the US companies that the education and experience be from the US based companies, immigrants are finding harder to match the job with their skills. A lot of foreigners who move to US had first-class jobs in high positions before they were immigrants. When they reach US, it is now a different ball game. Some have hard times to find their match and thus, have to…
First of all, it is important to consider the gender statistics of immigration in Canada. Studies have shown that between 2003 and 2012, the proportion of females and males admitted as permanent residents has been stable. Women usually represent 51%, while males represent 49%. For women, the largest sources of immigration were Philippines, China, India, Pakistan, the United States of America, France, Iran, Haiti, and the United Kingdom. For men, the largest sources of immigration were China, Iran, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Haiti, and Egypt as well. However, the proportion of males and boys in economic class immigrants is more important than females and girls (60 to 70% economic class immigrants were males). This can be explained by the fact that males often immigrate first in Canada, leaving their wife and children back home. After finding a job, and a home, they start the immigration process to have their family join them in Canada. On the other hand, live-in caregiver program permanent residents were mostly women and girls (95%). However, live-in caregiver program permanent residents only represented between 18 and 25% of all economic class immigrants (Consult Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s annual statistical publication,…
This research also found that illegal immigrants have both positive and negative impacts in the United States such as tax payment, cost of education and health care, and economic impact. According to reports, journals, websites, and other sources the U.S. government offers benefits to immigrants with low-income, but on the other hand they pay taxes. Even it is not defined there are some evidences that illegal immigrants pay more taxes than American born citizens. In 2010, in California where there is the largest number, they paid 27 million in…
