migration industry is able to issue legal documents and provide transportations for the migrants. Second, the role of NGOs is just like a "watch dogs" because they monitor the migration industries whether they violate the legal human right or not. Sometimes the NGOs may report the violations and abuses to government, as the reading "The Migration Industry in the Mexico-U.S. Migratory System" mentioned "These organizations frequently expose to government authorities and civil society the violations and abuses of polleros (smugglers)". Like migrant industries, the NGOs also facilitate the persistance of migration. For instance, they would provide foods and shelters to the new migrants and help them to settle down in foreign places. Third, government, …show more content…
The old migrants buy houses or rebuild their houses in home countries by their remittance. In chapter one of Lopez's reading, the two younger Robles brother is a great example because they used their remittance to rebuild their mother's house in home country. The rebuilded houses, as "remittance houses", usually look like "American houses". The reason Mexico people like to rebuild their houses or buy "big houses" in home country is because those houses can announce or imply a migrant's success abroad. Also, the "remittance houses" or "big houses" can display and improve the social status of migrant and his/her families in home country. Besides showing migrant's success and social statues, the "remittance houses" or "big houses" also encourage the people without personal connection in home country to migrate because it conveies the advantages of living in America. By the influence of "remittance house", many people in home country decide to migrate and wish that they can own nice houses one day in home country. Because of the effect of feedbacks and "remittance houses", more people migrate to foreign place for work. After those new migrants arrived in foreign place, they would meet the other people with potential connections to the foregin place and make friend with them. As times goes on, the quality and quantity of new migrants' social networks would be improved, and thus the new migrant's social captial also grows as they can mobilize more resources or access to more resources than before. As a result, another people in home country may follow the new migrants's step and migrate too. cumulative causation of

    Reading the first chapter of the The world of Mexican Migrants by Hellman really made me put myself into his shoes and think and view life differently to the life I grew up having. Some of the struggles he faces is the cultivation of milpa, growing corn was something he loved doing but there was challenges that came with doing it. Since the price of corn was low it made it hard for him to make money to provide for his family. If he wanted to make enough money to support his family he had to charge more for his corn than his tortillas because he needed a good surplus to keep selling in his market. This is a hard thing to do, because since Beto is not a business man, he cant really calculate his own labor to make enough money.…

    Even though they’re ways to improve immigration, the political system plays an important role in this because without the political part nothing would ever be resolved. From the article of “Immigration in the United States” mentions how the policy has been increasingly disconnected from the economic and social forces that carry immigration ( Hipsman and Meissner). It also mentioned that when changes were made, it took many years to legislate them. The United States have new reforms that would take care of the ongoing problems of illegal immigration. One of the reforms are (CIR), which stands for comprehensive immigration reform that would increase enforcement at the nation’s borders and interiors (Hipsman and Meissner).…

    Even though the Mexican farm workers did have a place to live, they were not the suitable living spaces that one would want to stay in for months of time. Similarly, as there were several migrant workers in Canada, they all required a place to live in. In terms of living conditions, they had to live in small bunkhouses with numerous other workers in a tight space (Lee, 2003). There was no other choice for them to live anywhere else as they had to manage their costs while staying in Canada. The housing itself had some problems, for example, a worker would need to share one bathroom amongst eleven others.…

    According to the Pew Hispanic Center in Washington, there are 10.3 million illegal immigrants in the United States today—57% from Mexico (CITE - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1468560/posts). This colossal flooding of Mexicans has brought upon cultural diversity, delivered low-cost labor alternatives, and has boosted American business. However, they have also overpopulated American cities, as well as put a grave stress on our social services, and have created a growing tension not only with US citizens, but also the other Mexican immigrants. These Mexican immigrants have persisted through the system and continue to live in the United States illegally. The United States/Mexican Border stretches near 2,000 miles from California to Texas,…

    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…

    “Sneaking into a country does not make you an immigrant any more than breaking into a house makes you part of the family,” (thesentinel.org, 2014, 1). I can say that this is very true.
