    Fresh Fruit Broken Bodies Analysis

    Healthcare for workers has been difficult to quite understand. It comes with many issues and solutions in which many are not talked about or understood. In Fresh Fruit Broken Bodies, Seth Holmes talks about the fieldworks and the injuries that happen to these workers. The main focus with cultural competency is the lack of training that one has in the health field training. He explores the structural factors that affect the migrant healthcare and how the health professions perceive these migrant patients. “This focus suggest that the culture of the patient is the problem that needs to be understood and the barrier that should overcome in order to provide effective health care.” (153 Holmes). Holmes basically refers that the problem still is racism and the way that these farmworkers are dealt with when they go into clinics and also how these migrant farmworkers lack the language. The way people are trained in Mexico and the United States are truly very different. The ways that the migrant undocumented workers are not given the true and good health care is wrong and should change. The solution to change the lack of competency is to teach the migrant workers what they are lacking and making sure that the health professions are trained correctly.…

    Mexican Border

    With the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo on February 2, 1848, the border dividing the Mexican people was formed. The Mexican border means various things to different people. To date, 600 miles of border wall has already been built. This wall would extend from California, to El Paso, to the valley. The first reason given by the government for construction of the wall was to prevent terrorist attacks, the next was to keep illegal Mexicans out, and the most current one is to combat the drug smuggling into the United States. For some Mexicans and Mexican Americans, the border poses threats, and for others, it establishes possibilities for oneself and one’s family.…

    Mexican American Border Analysis

    On January 18, 1541, the first death on The Devil’s Highway was recorded. On May 23, 2001, five Mexican men stumble onto The Devil’s Highway, parched and delirious, leaving behind them a winding map of burnt bodies leading towards the Mexican border. However, the Mexican American border is not the only relevant border in their story. The borders that the Wellton 26 face separate not only themselves, but humanity as a whole. History, economics, and the borders between this world and the possibility of the next are all borders that everyone will come to face in their lifetime; whether or not they are crossed is a different story.…

    Minorities and the Health Care System

    The fact that illegal immigration causes health risks to U.S. citizens is often ignored. Many people that enter the United States illegally come from countries that have contagious diseases that are rarely seen in this country. There have been many reported cases of dysentery, leprosy, and tuberculosis near the U.S. and Mexico border. An “article in the New England Journal of Medicine noted that a majority (57.8%) of all new cases of tuberculosis in the United States in 2007 were diagnosed in foreign born persons” (Federation, par.4). This illegal minority group is a potential danger to the healthcare of America citizens.…

    Health care is a very complicated subject especially lately with the new reform that the government is implementing. A highly increasing portion of the population it’s currently uninsured not including a large percent that are immigrants in need of health care coverage. For this population we have to keep in mind that the status of the illegal population keeps growing every day.

Health care is a very popular and heated debate topic. When it comes to undocumented population; a lot of the debate topics we can find are the pro and cons of proving them with health care, the cost of it and who will be eligible for the new health bill recently pass by congress.…

    Illegal Immigrants and Health Care

    Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of America back 500 years ago in the year 1492. Were he and his crew the first illegal immigrants in America? The land was occupied by another group of people that didn’t grant these explorers the right to have whatever they please without acquiring some kind of legal status. The topic of legal status might have been irrelevant back in those days but it surely is an issue that is widely talked about in today’s America. The issue of illegal immigrants has been a hot topic especially when it comes to discussing whether these people should be allowed to have health care provided by a government that doesn’t recognize their status. The ethical question that comes into play here is whether the opportunity to have health care is a human right or not? If it is, then the United States government would be doing an injustice by withholding health care from anyone regardless of their status in society. This paper will discuss the reasons why the United States should grant illegal immigrants (specifically undocumented workers) publically financed services; the main focus will be on healthcare. Also, an analysis of James Dwyer’s argument “Illegal Immigrants, Health Care and Social Responsibility” will be provided near the conclusion of the paper.…
