    Immigrants, more often than not, come to America for the chance of a better life. However, immigration, particularly among Mexican women, does not always lead to better health outcomes. Health disparities among Mexican immigrant women living in the United States arise due to the intersection of various determinants. For example, immigration status and gender can lead Mexican immigrant women to experience a reduction in labor market access and activity in the United States (Leite et al., 2010). This in turn limits them to living in less than favorable economic conditions (Leite, Angoa, Castaneda, Felt, Schenker & Ramirez, 2013).…

    The American government, under president Hoover at the time, organized massive deportation campaigns that heavily impacted the well-being of both Mexican nationalists as well as American citizens of Mexican descent, seemingly casting a cloud of fear over the United States during the early 1930s. In the early twentieth century, the immigration of Mexicans to the United States was greater than ever. Due to the industrial growth at the time, Mexicans were invited by the United States government to immigrate to the United States and work. As many crossed the border in search of the higher wages that much of Mexico’s current economy could not offer them, this pattern of immigration was put into reverse by the Great Depression with the number of…

The economic growth of Miami, led by early Cuban immigrants, made the city a magnet for migrants.…
