Immigrants

The social group collection that I chose is Immigrants . I chose this social group because unlike others they go thought a lot in one day. Imagine coming to the U.S.A to live a better life and to be better and everyday having to fight for what is yours, scared every day that you’ll be sent back to the place you felt most pain, to lose everything you worked for. That what many Immigrants feel everyday. I want to learn about this social group because I want to know why Immigrants fight to live somewhere better knowing that the place they are going to doesn’t want them. And I also want to know all the laws they have against Immigrants.

The stories that I’ve read about this social group show experiences such as discrimination that people are facing in Arizona. In the podcast that I listened it, it talked about how this legal  Immigrant lives in Arizona, this woman was scared almost every day of her life, thinking that one day a police officer is going to just going to deport her. These experiences show how  Immigrants live in fear every day how one law can haunt their dreams.The experiences that I share with individuals in this social group is my family, I live with them so I know how it feels to be

scared like that everyday it not fun. It can hurt people in many ways. This experience is similar than my experience because its hand it live like that it’s not easy at all, and that’s what I want to show others how life is for an Immigrant.

The individuals in this social group are different from one another because of the way they have to fight every day and still be put down from some dumb laws. An example of this is the SB 1070 law in arizona or the SB 54 law in California. Successes that the group has faced has been having to live in a place that has food and having a roof over their head, not worrying about how they are getting home without something happening to them. Challenges that the group has faced is the horrible treatment immigrants are going through at the border. For example in the article, “ When someone is granted asylum, they are given permission to live in a country because they were forced to flee their homeland due to war or political violence. They were in danger because of who they are or what they believe. More than 312 people have been returned from the U.S. to Mexico so far, and now more migrants will be coming back to Juárez.”.  Certain perspectives that are missing from this collection are that life can be better here for Immigrants than in there home town.

The challenges that individuals in this group face that other people outside the group might not understand are sometimes all they want is to have a better life for there kid, for example in this picture it show how parents try their hardest to do anything for there kid. I think that others can do the following to understand this social group by understanding why they did it not just thinking why they are here but why. Assumptions that people might make about people who identify within this social group could be you doing belong here or go back to where you came from, like you guys don’t really care. Stereotypes can negatively affect individuals who identify within this group because it makes them feel unwelcomed. Stereotyping is wrong because all they are trying to do is to make the best out of what they have, If they have a kid they don’t want that kid to grow up in that messed up places they did so they do something crazy but its all for a better life. That all Immigrants want a better life not just for them but for their kids too.

Communities can give money or try to do anything to help individuals within this social group. This will help the social group because many immigrants are poor which is why they leave as they need a better place to live. They need a place that wants them and that is going to help them. What I can do in particular to help this social group is to show people how these immigrants feel everyday, to show them how it is to live like you need to fight for your life. It’s hard for Immigrants now a days, they go thought a lot more than you think.
