In Everyday Illegal by Joanna Derby some immigrants are illegal and deal with other situations besides being an outsider in a foreign land.

Filemon also gave Van Zeller a tour of his living conditions. Not only do they work in horrific conditions, but they live in them as well. The undocumented workers live in what is called, flophouses. These workers make very little money, so this has supplement their survival, plus they send money back home to their families.

A statistical fact was proven the children of immigrants are more likely to go to college, most likely to be homeowners, and less likely to live in poverty. About thirty-six percent of the children are college graduates, eleven percent live in poverty, and sixty-four percent of them are homeowners(Balce Ceneta, 3). Based on data, a record seven-in-ten (69%) Hispanic high school graduates in the class of 2012 enrolled in college that fall, scoring two percent higher than any other race(Fry and Taylor, 1). It is greatly proven that these undocumented children that are barely entering the United States have an even greater percentage on being college graduates, homeowners, and a less percentage living in poverty (Balce Ceneta,…
The transfer from their place of origin is usually a challenging experience for immigrant children. Separation from their familiar foundations and milieu means leaving behind relationships with family members and peers, and a social and material environment with its own rules and practices. Consequently, not infrequently children experience feelings ranging from confusion, excitement, anxiety, sadness, disorientation, uncertainty and fear. The emotional state that accompanies this transfer of immigrant students is largely ignored by teachers and school personnel. Educators should acknowledge the emotions that children are undergoing when arriving to a new place and adapting to the new practices and expectations.…
The United States of America is known for almost about everything. From military power to having the democracy that other countries still strive for, it’s a country where people could do what they are passionate for, and be what they want to be in their lives. Different races come to the United States with the belief that there’s a good future ahead of their own families rather than staying in their country, wherein they probably don’t receive much aid from the government, or there’s no job available for them at all. To provide for their family, especially their children, parents risk their lives to get them in good hands even when it’s illegal for them to do so. The United States should allow illegal immigrant children to get the education they need because they didn’t have the choice to leave their own countries,…
I wish to stress that it is important for every child to get the right education, but when this extra burden is added to the documented immigrants/citizens and taxpayers it may be difficult especially with the U.S. economy…
Coming to America was a terrifying and uncertain journey for my parents, who came to the United States as young adults. Despite the dangers, it was a risk that they were willing to take to ensure their family with a better future. As children, my siblings and I were told stories of what our parents had to endure while growing up in Mexico and what was required of them from a young age. Throughout the years, they taught us to aim for the impossible and not to settle for less than what we had the potential to accomplish. They constantly reminded us of the opportunities that we had being raised in the U.S. and taught us the value of working hard to dedicating ourselves achieve our goals.…
What happens to immigrant children who have grown up in the United States when they turn 18? Is it possible for someone to be educated in our public schools only to be labeled as a foreigner and illegal when they become an adult? I serve as a Trustee on a local school board. My first experience with an immigrant child coming of age was a few years back when a local family asked what I could do to help a young man who had been staying with them. He had graduated from one of our high schools and had recently turned 18.…
Immigration is a big topic in todays society. There are many views to this issue, but it changes when we talk about poor, harmless children.

Someone who was convicted of a crime and served their time then get pick up by immigration then get deported, that is understandable because they violated the immigration law which they signed upon receiving the green card; however, some of the illegal immigrants cause no threats to the American public so they should be allow to stay especially if they have been living here for a long time and have families that are American citizens. It is very hard to explain to a child that he/she will be separate from his parents. Children that have parents in immigration custody or deported usually show signs of loneliness, clingy behavior, fear, unable to focus in school and anxiety. “In November 2011, the Applied Research Center (now known as Race Forward: The Center for Racial Justice Innovation) published a report, Shattered Families: The Perilous Intersection…
The lives of every person are affected by everything positive or negative happening around them. My life has been affected by different situations I have had to experience. An experience that has had a big impact on who I have become is that my parents were illegal immigrants up to when I was 11 years old. Luckily I did not have to be separated from my parents like other children in the U.S., In my opinion, there shouldn’t be situations where children are separated from their mother or father simply because the parents come from a foreign country.…
