Immigrant Family Image Analysis

Eileen Ariza’s article “Culture Considerations: Immigrant Parent Involvement” published from Kappa Delta Journal Record discusses appropriate teacher interaction with foreign students who are currently enrolled in standard classrooms in America. She argues that teachers who have foreign students in their classes should attempt to be more understanding of foreign students’ cultures when foreign students behave abnormally according to American culture. In this essay, I intend to summarize, critique, and evaluate Ariza’s proposal for revising teacher pedagogy and improving teacher interaction with foreign students and their families.

One grave issue produced from illegal immigration can be family crisis. The statistics express that most families that contains one or more illegal immigrants often have their family separated. Furthermore, many infants are left behind by their parents when attempting to cross the borders. As a result, these innocent children may eventually demonstrate wrenched characteristics in the lack of paternal or maternal love. Enrique is on among such victims, once indulgent in alcohol and drugs as a teenager. Enrique’s experience also suggests that the fissure between the family members may be eternal, as his relationship with his mother never

To conclude, Figure 1 and Figure 2 promote FFF’s purpose of keeping families together by using visual and rhetorical appeals such as Logos, Kairos and Pathos to convey that immigration laws in America must be changed in order to eliminate the disintegration of the family unity among immigrants. Both images illustrate the different groups in society and immigrants themselves uniting to fight for more comprehensive immigration policies in America. In this way, this issue is particularly important because America is a country made up of immigrants. Thus, as both images explicitly denote, new immigration policies are needed in order to keep the core of society together: the family.

portray the subject of immigration by family separation and the hurt and sadness they feel. However they have many correspondence’s of technique to portray the subject they also use dissimilarities to demonstrate that the pressing affect family separation can do to people’s lives.

My main purpose of this writing is to educate others of the struggle and unfairness of an immigrant family and first generation child in the united states. The kind of sources I will integrate are factual evidence of income and personal experience. This project is important to me because it happens to everyday and is very

I think that if you are an immigrant child the pressures that are put on you are different than the pressures if you are a child from a middle-class family in America.

El cambio es algo bueno. That means change is a good thing and I have a proposal that involves change for families. I believe that Mexican families deserve a shot to live in America, even if they are illegal immigrants. The plan involves a way where a United States’ family and a family from Mexico can both benefit from each other. The three ways that a U.S. family and a Mexican family can benefit from each other are: sharing different foods, learning new languages, and learning new life skills. While these exchanges are going, the Mexican family earns free citizenship as well. This is a government funded program. The families will have to pay for their own food and housing, but the housing is supplied by the government for a low price. The housing fee pays for a limited, but reasonable, amount of water and electricity.

When I began my research on the multitude of family problems, there were millions of options to choose from but narrowing down to one topic was especially difficult. I decided to choose a topic close to home which was illegal immigrant family problems. The different obstacles illegal immigrant families face on a daily basis which is a wide range of issues from health care to deportation. The effect of deportation on the families and the support that can be found in public places like school and also the lack of support they can receive from the government. The range of articles that cover these issues is overwhelming so choosing articles was not a problem. There were the scholarly journals that covered issues immigrant families concerning

they have to it, and lure of the “adolescent peer culture, and aspirations to join the American mainstream culture”(Munguia, 7). In addition, the parents of the immigrant students and other members of the family have very different understandings and attitudes about the American school system and how they operate. Some of these ideas and thinking reflects the parents/family member’s own experiences with schools, cultural and religious values, and the reasons why they left their country of origin to come to the United States. Correspondingly, their involvement and engagement with the inside their homes, new culture and with the school can vary. Moreover, if the youngsters learn to cope in the new environment faster than their parents do, they

Children in immigrant families are often considered at increased risk of maltreatment due to the stress and pressure experienced by the family resulting from immigration and acculturation. Within the child welfare system, the number of Latino children has steadily risen over the past several years, with national data indicating that the percentage of Latino children confirmed as victims of maltreatment has risen from 10.0% in 1995 to 14.2% in 2000 to 17.4% in 2005 (Dettlaff et al. 2009). This data represents only one part of the various research studies conducted in order to better understand immigrant families entry and presence in the child welfare system. In Earner’s (2007) research study, a focus group was facilitated with immigrant families who were already part of the child welfare system. From this focus group a few key themes arose, there was a deep concern for the public service workers lack of awareness on issues that immigrant families face and the needs that they encounter (Earner, 2007). There was also concern about the service and referrals they were receiving since many of them were dependent upon eligibility which they did not meet due to their immigration status (Earner, 2007)

“The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.” (-Mark Twain) Being a child of immigrant parents who move to American can be hard. There is a lingering feeling of not feeling like a child belongs. They are stuck in the invisible world between where their parents came from, in this specific case, Asia and where the child lives now. It can be difficult to be raised as an Asian American and learning both culture and traditions. Many Asian American kids end up deviating from the Asian culture and embracing the American culture. However, children of immigrants should embrace their own culture in order to keep traditions alive and be proud of who they are.

This states that child immigrants should stay in the US and that putting these young children in jail, court, or putting them under lots of stress is unfair and the US should change how they treat child Immigrants and or any

Recently illegal immigration has become a very pressing issue among people. Many people around the borders are being greatly affected by the issue and think immediate action needs to be taken to put a stop to the issue. The Documentary Border War: Battle Over Illegal Immigration takes a stand on the issue using many examples of pathos, ethos, and logos to try and persuade people that illegal immigration is a very serious issue and we need to put a stop to it. This documentary follows the lives of people who have been affected by illegal immigration, and explains how they feel about the issue. Another way that people can look at the issue of illegal immigration is through the eyes of the immigrants, and the reasons why they might be trying

As a first generation immigrant family and as an only child of a missionary kid, our family moved occasionally-mostly before high school- for my parent’s ministries involving a non-profit religious organization. Because of our transitions, our family could not acquire the right time to process our residency, and eventually applied for the green card during the most sensitive period, while the government shifts and immigration law changes were eventuating, although we have lived in US for more than ten years.

It is challenging being the oldest child in every family. What is even harder, is being the first child of immigrant parents. From the obstacles I faced, I was able to become independent. My parents left El Salvador to go to America for a better life. When they left their country my mother was pregnant with her first child which was me. After I was born and I began to grow, the only language I spoke and heard was Spanish. Since both my parent spoke little English and spoke mostly Spanish I thought it was only natural for me to follow them.
