Affidavit of Silverio Martin Vazquez- Suarez

I, Siilverio Martin Vazquez Suarez hereby depose the following:

I am writing this letter to provide a description off the hardships my husband, Edward Vivio, would suffer should we have to leave the United States if my waiver is denied. First, I would like you to know that I was born on July 21, 1986 in Zapotlanejo, Jalisco, Mexico. I was born into a family of six people including my father and mother, an older sister and two younger sisters. I grew up in a very poor community called Santa Fe, Jalisco Mexico, 35 minutes away from my parents’ house. The large city of Guadalajara is about an hour and a half from my parent’s home. Growing up was very hard for me and my family because we had very little money for housing, food, clothes or shoes. The roads in Santa Fe are narrow and are not paved. While growing up, our house could go for

I am not even sure what people with a mental illnesses do in Mexico but they are probably untreated and homeless. Edward would have to travel to Guadalajara to maybe find a job. But because Edward does not speak Spanish and the people in area do not speak English I believe Edward could not even find a job anything like he has right now. Edward would have no way to support us or himself and could not contribute to my family. In Mexico there is no government help like in the Unites States, for poor people or the unemployed. Also, the nearest bank is also about 30 minutes away. The nearest college is over an hour away from Santa Fe, it is very expensive to attend and the classes are taught in Spanish so he could not continue his education. In addition losing his job in the Unites States, if Edward moved to Mexico, he would also lose his health care insurance, his job, his other job benefits, his pension and other retirement

    There are number of potential key factors linked to the underutilization of mental health services. The lack of access to mental health services continues and it is the most serious problem within the Latino community. Numerous Latino families leave their country of origin, to find better opportunities in the United States since the opportunities for employment in their own country are scarce and the violence has made it unsafe to raise their families. As Latino immigrant families transition and adapt to the United States, or as second generation individuals try to embrace both cultures, they experience a range of adverse experiences. Some of the adverse experiences include substandard housing, abuse, trauma, stigma, discrimination, and poverty…

    Should illegal immigrant’s offspring be entitled to all the privileges of an American citizen? Or should they be deprived of this blessing just because some people are too close minded? Birthright citizenship has always been an issue with many Americans. In his essay “An Argument to be made about Immigrant Babies and Citizenship,” George Will writes about a “simple reform that would drain some scalding steam from immigration arguments… thereby removing an incentive for illegal immigration.” While some are for it, a lot are against it and are trying to find a way to change the interpretation of the fourteenth amendment.…

    The first critical factor that has, for many years, prevented Latino families from seeking mental health services is the lack of health insurance. There are a lot of different economic circumstances that leads to a lack of medical insurance. The latest statistics from the U.S. Census show Latinos are the largest uninsured group in the country, with over 30 percent of the population without health coverage.(http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/health/2013/01/24/race-still-factor-in-mental-health-treatment-in-california/). For Latinos not having health insurance they won't seek for any help. They prefer to do other kind of remedies before going to seek for professional help and paying out of pocket.…

    At an early age, I didn’t understand the concept of an immigrant family and that our resources were very limited. It wasn’t until I got older, that I finally understood and recognized the struggle that my family went and still continues to go through. My realization began when I was about 11-years old and I noticed that my father not only worked for his own small gardening service, but that he also took my older brothers to work with him. I knew it was a time for serious measures because my brothers started helping my father when they were close to my age, and they continued throughout their whole school years. Everything was going normal in my family then, we rented a house that was in the name of my aunt, had enough money for the bills,…

    The Latino community has been generalized to seem as though access to proper mental healthcare has been a fault on their part, yet others argue that their approach to mental health may not be the only reason or a valid reason at all. Research has demonstrated that other factors have heavily contributed to the plight of a Latino’s mental well-being, instead. These factors vary across a spectrum for each Latino, such as whether or not they uphold cultural ideals; their background; their status; and their access to insurance or services. Attitudes from Latinos about mental health has been anticipated, for the stigma has come to exist claims that mental health is not considered as imperative as that of physical health. The stigma rose due to the…
