U.S. authorities had been closely looking into Stanford Financial Group and investigating the certificates of deposit because of the returns that they were providing to their investors. In addition, the fact that the company’s assets showed an increase of 7 billion in a time span of only seven years (2001-2008) also seemed sketchy. As Stanford’s criminal case states “The indictment alleges that, in fact, approx. $5 billion of SIBL’s reported assets consisted of notes on loans to Stanford and…

John Steinbeck, a true California native, sets a vivid visional of work in the fields. He describes the conflicting view on a farm worker and the negative impact the work had on workers. A young squatter says “ when they need us they call us migrantes and when we are picking their crops they call us bums” ( John Steinbeck’s Articles for The San Francisco News pg 4-5 ). The high number of workers were desperately needs, in order to get all the tetruss work completed during picking and packing…

than half that of natives” (Camarota 1). This study clearly proved the lack of equality immigrants have when compared to a native born citizen. Their lack of annual income becomes a major obstacle when maintaining stable living conditions in the U.S. The United States government has taken multiple procedures in order to fix this problem starting with the Federal Programs issued to help support Immigrants necessities for living. One largely used program across the country is “SNAP”, formerly…

After reading any article concerning the data that we have about human trafficking I learned that most of it isn’t sound. The underlying reason as to why we can’t stop traffickers is because we don’t specifically know what we are dealing with. What this means is that we don’t all have the same definition of what human trafficking is and if we are not in agreement on what the problem is then the problem can not be solved. Since this is a global issue the first step is a universal definition, one…

I wish to recommend Erica Johnson as a nominee for this year Mary Louise Human Rights Award, as she is a passionate leader, change agent and role model in our community. I have known Erica since I met her during a DACA legal clinic in 2013. Before meeting Erica, I had never thought of myself as an advocate, let alone as a leader in my community. Erica saw something in me that no one else had. She introduced me to the fight for human and civil rights of the undocumented community, thought me…

Moving forward under the shadow of President Obama’s recent executive order to grant amnesty to more than four million immigrants, The Editorial Board’s article in the New York Times, “The Scrambled States of Immigration” examines our nations stance on immigration reform. Highlighting just how close the nation is to a breaking point, we see that rather than unity, there is disunity among the states, even though all know reform needs to be put in place in some form or fashion.

there is the immigrant, Pew Hispanic Center reported in 2005 that, “10% of all restaurant workers are illegal, 25% of all private domestic help are illegal and over 60% of agricultural crop workers are illegal” (Furlong, 2013, p. 148). Any mass deportation would destroy the economy. All three parties are equally dependent on each other and the solution should be equitable as well. Keep in mind your personal stake to put aside partisanship and reform this policy now. The majority of your…

another, the countries remain psychologically separate, distinguished by an intangible boundary edified by the Dominican dictator Trujillo. Trujillo’s proclamations of antihaitismo and Dominican nationalism have lead to the current state of Haitian deportation and anti-Haitian sentiments. Haitian and Dominican History Haiti and the Dominican Republic previously had a somewhat symbiotic relationship, a clear disparity from their current state. In 1802,…

What are the underlying factors of immigration? In essence, immigration is the byproduct of a combination of push and pull factors. Many individuals are pushed away from their native countries as a result of strife, violence, and/or political instability. While others are allured to another country by its endless opportunities and/or independence. Since its founding, the United States has been a nation of immigrants, a nation sought after by many for its promise of freedom and democracy. However…
