Profound: Latin Fuem Of Immigrants

Decent Essays
What is a profound experience? Profound also is known as pro-fundas or “favorable base of origin” when translated from Latin. experience has the Latin stem of experiēns meaning past principle. So in my experience the most noticeable past principle I learned from my base if origin was to cherish what you have. but whats better the conclusion or the story?

the story i have to tell is in the mid spring of 2011. Our spring started with a delightfull trip too new orleans where we ate baguets, saw street proformers and saw post martigraw cellebration. but this didn't start later untill we where on our way back and me and my father had some crawfish and acciddentally swollowed a shell. we didn't know untill we go back home and a few days had passed.

    Throughout the narratives in Immigrant Voices: Volume II, authors illustrate the immense responsibilities and expectations placed upon those in the intersecting positions of immigrant and mother. In these narratives, immigrant mothers act as not a monolithic category, but as a collection of individuals who must work to maintain their families, their heritage, and their dignity in an environment which encourages them to fail. Through Americanization, cultural celebration, monetized stereotypes, and through cultivating the impressions of others toward them, Le Ly Hayslip, Dr. Rose Ihedigbo, and Loung Ung, and others portray how immigrant mothers work to fulfill the multiplicity of tasks set out before them. In Child of War, Woman of Peace, Le…

    One of the hottest topics in politics is immigration and more importantly immigration through illegal means. It seems after careful consideration one may suggest that the people come to this great nation, known as the United States and a land of opportunity, not meaning to break its laws, but instead searching to escape poverty and hardships that they face in their home nation. Furthermore, in analyzing two articles on the subject, "Imagining the Immigrant: Why Legality Must Give Way to Humanity” by John J. Savant, a writing professor at Dominican University of California and writer of philosophy, ethics, and morality, and "The Perpetual Border Battle" by Mark Krikorian, a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues, we find the true motive behind these so called "aliens" and what we should do about it. While both speak on the subject and why so many people are flooding to the U.S., Savant speaks mostly on the morality of the people coming over illegally and is suggesting changing laws to better help them make there stay legal and Kirkorian is mostly describing the number flow of the people and how to turn them around.…

    In the late 1800s, people fled to the United States to escape crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine while other came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution. In 1798, a period of diplomatic tension with France culminated in the passage of a series of laws known as the Alien and Sedition Acts in that it extended the period of residency required for citizenship from five to fourteen years and allowed the president to deport any “alien” considered to be “dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States.” The sentiment behind the acts did diminish by 1800 but would revive in later decades as German and Irish immigrants came to the United States in larger numbers. Many of the native-born…

    Introduction The Latino/a migration to the United States that occurred over the course of the last century was a phenomena mired in unfounded speculation because many “experts” struggled to properly explain the reasons for such massive amounts of Latino/a immigration.

These three theories are the push-pull theory, structural theory, and transnational theory (Ramirez, 2016).
