1. The opponent team members and fans were nasty to the Jets because they wanted to intimidate all players, with the hopes to affect their overall performance. When rivals noticed how the Jets were outscoring them, they felt as if their only weapon would be to verbally bully the Jets. If I were on the jets team, I do not know how I would react to such cruel criticism from strangers. As expected, my self-esteem would minimize.

2. No, I can not recall a situation where an adult in an authority position said something that made me feel uncomfortable due to my gender or nationally. I do not wish this sort of discrimination upon anyone, especially during these times. However, I can imagine it being frustrating and hard to tolerate. I do not understand how an adult can come to be so narrow minded, to not treat everyone equally.

3. Hispanics are often targeted as victims of crime because they do not speak out or against, all to avoid confrontation with police officers due to illegal status. They would much rather jeopardize their safety, then to be at a bigger risk of getting deported or seperated from their families. First, hispanics can avoid being affected during home invasions by not leaving large amounts of money/cash laying around the house, and attempt to build a bank account. Second, they should feel free to speak out/against anyone if they are being assaulted, for they will not risk their time in the U.S.

4. Enrique got the gun because he at the moment was experiencing a lot of anger. Therefore, I do understand why Enrique got the gun, to feel more protected in his own home. However, him wanting to kill the man that invaded his home was not the correct motive. If Enrique were to kill the man, it would not solve anything.

5. Tolerance is being able to to continue what you are doing, even if you means facing mistreatment or an unpleasant obstacle. This image shows a group of immigrant worker working in a large farm picking up basket full of tomatoes/red peppers. In this type of outdoor labor, immigrant workers often have to tolerate poor job conditions. Which include, over-exposed to hot temperatures, low pay, and no job reassurance.

6.Cuadros explains the lack of tolerance he had for the individual who posted a fly mentioning "El Lowmano. You not throw the socker ball, you keek it, eh?". Cuadros, found it especially hurtful that this message came from a teacher; teacher are expected to behave more rightfully towards students. It made me feel disappointed at how extreme someone's words can affect the receiver, which in this case includes the Latino players. This should make the coach realize the importance of not publicizing insulting messages, for others may have low toleration.

1. The initial obstacles that were faced when first starting the soccer team were: the lack of field space, start-up cost, practice field, the question of grades and attendance of possible players. In the chapter, I get to better understand Cuadro's passion for committing his time and building a field for the boys. Cuadros, Lex, and Moody finally coordinated by communicating about the process of developing a 'real program'; leaving behind the worn out fields from Siler city.

2. The first day of practice with the new team went well, the players were excited, thrilled and determined to break a sweat. Most of the kids showed great interest throughout the meeting, leaving cuadros impressed. Cuadros explained the elegibility requirements that were expected to be followed by all participants, which involved: good grades and good attendance. These lessons are important because it will give all players the motivation to try harder with their academics.

3. Cuadros introduces some of the players, to provide more background information of family and reasons why they are interested in soccer. A few did not return for the second practice because of two reasons: 1. They found out they were not eligible (grade and attendance) 2. Try-outs were too extreme

D. Why did Juan lie about his eligibility? Do you understand his dishonesty? Would you have been honest in his situation? (3–4 sentences)

Juan lied about his eligibility because he genuinely wanted to be part of a JM's soccer team. I do understand his dishonesty, Juan had no wrong intentions, he was so desperate to be a part of the team and feel accepted by teammates. I personally would have been honest from the start, I would not risk getting kicked out after the truth were to be revealed.

A. Quote 1:

Anti-immigrantion adovactes are fearing the increasing population of immigrants, however they do not realize that most immigrants are coming to the country with humble intentions. These immigrant are working in corporations that offer low pay along with rigorous hours, with the intention to offer more possibilites to their children. In reality, US Citizens are not willing to negotiate with cheap labor force, that is when having immigrants may be useful for the country. With that said, I do not agree/understand how anti-immigration advocates feel threatened or would want immigrants to be deported.

B. Quote 2, page 49:

I do agree that good relationships can sometimes lead to bad relationships, but it typicaly only happens when there is no healthy balance of communication. For instance, if Siler City's school administration would have spoke out about the increasing population of ESL student, it could have prevented corruption. A parent meeting was necessary to inform parents about what kind of teaching alterations the school was going to give, under the circumstances. This action could have prevented parents from forming secret town meetings and going as far as pulling their children from schools.

C. Quote 3, page 54 & Guided response: Why did the KKK never protest at the chicken plant?

I agree with Cuadros, why wasn't the rally held at the poultry plants? I do agree that individuals should live by their untitled opinions, but I do not think they should bully/force others to think the same way they do. I believe the KKK crowd did not have the audacity to protest at the chicken plant because they feared they would be outnumbered by the large number of immigrants. Also, underneath the ignorance, the KKK crowd might have realized that it would only draw more attention to immigrant rights.

In "Save the Townsend Poultry Plant and the Rocky River" I learned that the Industrial User Pretreatment Permit for the Townsend plant was rejected, when failing to contain nutrient limits and failing to establish where trailers drained and pretreatment facility. According to reading, blood and other waste was drained in a parking space near Love's Creek. The waste would flow directly to Love's creak, which led to Rocky RIver. This waste that was traveling in Rivers Creek could become a danger to the life [plants and fishes] found in this river, but also the individuals who would come in contact with water. If the Townsend would have been more successful when draining waste, perhaps the environment, or Rocky River could have prevented being mistreated.

The country appears to hold 12 million undocumented immigrants. Many Latin American workers are recruited to the United States, because they were the only ones willing to work efficiently in rough conditions and with low pay. Keep in mind, it has not been easy for Latinos to adapting to the US, both countries hold incompatible traditions and values.

B. What are your thoughts about why immigration happens? For example, where/when have other patterns of immigration happened, do you think this would be an easy decision, why do people leave their native countries?

I personally do not have an issue with immigration. I do think the majority of us can be considered immigrants, because of our past ancestors; not including native americans. Immigration has been a result whenever a war, natural disaster, unemployment and or money corruption is taking place in an immigrant's native country. By no mean do I think having to leave one's family or native country can be an easy decision, "Home is where the heart is".

I am aware that every year in the United States, the illegal immigration population continues to increase. I know that in certain states, undocumented immigrants are not allowed to obtain a drivers license. I know that Barack Obama deported more immigrants during his first term, than any other president. However, Barack Obama mainly deported immigrants that convicted significant crimes.

I think the Dream Act helps out children of illegal immigrants of a certain period, by allowing them to study and work in the Country legally. Also, I'm under the assumption that many immigrants have to pay twice the amount of state college tuition, unless they attend community college.

I do believe there should be a immigration reform in 2014. The president has constantly mentioned of a reform, during his platform, however the Republican party continues to limits reform possibilities. I believe the boarders should be a little more secured, while immigrants that are present in the country should be given the opportunity to a path of citizenship.
