- the U.S and its citizens, much of their beliefs have been manipulated to mirror the views on immigrants and immigration in itself accordingly to the political party represented during the time being.
- looking at this cause through a social lens would allow the understanding of their viewpoint behind being opposed to changing the immigration policy, to facilitate immigrants to enter the U.S.
- many residents of the U.S (aka dreamers or of Latin American roots) could argue their justification behind wanting a more "simple to understand" process in order to seek asylum in the U.S for immigrants that can't advocate for themselves, in the same manner, someone who lives in the U.S could.
- a social lens is necessary in order to fully comprehend the necessities and circumstances that are affiliated with both the asylum-seeking process and their lifestyles in a country that proposes a threat to the immigrant's life.]]> 2021-11-01 14:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1858983461 THEMATIC CLUSTER 2 mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1858983463 U.S societal perceptions of immigrants and immigration]]> 2021-11-01 14:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1858983463 THEMATIC CLUSTER 3 mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1858983464 Immigrants perception behind the hardships of assimilating to the U.S]]> 2021-11-01 14:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1858983464 Source 9 mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1858983467 - different perspectives given within one lens, that being the social and cultural feature, by diving into greater detail of the economic, cultural, social, and political factors that all add up
- one solution for both the immigrants trying to assimilate to their new home and the “natives” as they call them in the journal, who feel a bit more constructed with the ideals that society has put on about what immigrants can offer to a big nation, like that of the U.S.

- In addition to the great ideals presented in this journal, this is a sequel to a different scholarly journal presented back in 2008(Annual Review of Sociology, 2008). Though this information is more current and accurate with how immigrants and U.S citizens view immigration, this journal presents a more social look into assimilation within the citizens of the U.S and immigrants making an effort to “fit in” within their new culture, more specifically economically.

- U.S immigration policy should be changed in benefit more the immigrants and their families that they had created in a new country with nothing in their hands but good intentions.

- difficulties faced by immigrants when it comes to law enforcement and trying to assimilate with prejudice surrounding them.
- The article is similar to a study seen previously where it also touches upon the difficulties faced that no one would touch upon as it had been overlooked by a country with such a narrow mindset (The International Migration Review, Vol. 30, No. 2). Much of the article speaks upon the topic of the immigrant workforce and the economic impact that both immigrants and legal migrant. Even though more current information could be used to fully analyze the article, it isn't necessary as it would be used in the same manner that information from the 1900s would.

- different aspects and perspectives that this ideological situation presents, she is able to speak upon the impact that this situation has had on the U.S and its immigration policy and where it stands constitutionally
- emphasize the need for a change in immigration policy regardless of any person’s perspective of the reasons, more specifically family reunion, and the limits that should be accounted for in argumentation.

- very similar in comparison to a past journal entry written in the Harvard Law Review (Developments in the Law: Immigration Policy and the Rights of Aliens) where both journals touch upon the change needed in the U.S immigration policy and how Latinx asylum seekers and Americans view the prepositions.

- new norms of what it meant to assimilate within a strict close-minded society that is negligent about the issues that immigrants go through in order to make it out of a place that isn’t good.

- emphasize mainly the immigrant’s point of view and what they go through when coming to a new country full of “loud” perspectives.
- hardships presented to immigrants are almost “inhumane” and that even with those hardships, they try to assimilate almost immediately after having crossed a border. The journal does a great job at bringing a perspective that is usually overlooked in a thoughtful manner that brings awareness to what is an “immigrant” is from the time period of 2008.

- they also reach back to the ideology of "nativism" that white blood is superior to those of pigmented skin color humans, essentially questioning what positive effects they truly have on the nation

these implications create a better understanding of what American perceptions are against immigrants and how they alter themselves as different economic situations occur going back to the idea that the U.S should take into consideration those fleeing their country in search for more opportunities and jobs to help not only themselves but essentially strengthening the U.S economy with foreign blood.]]> 2021-11-05 04:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869204824 Synthesis Post mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869207539 - both talk about the impact that the U.S immigration policy has had on society
- controversy: first one talked about the impact that LA asylum seekers and immigrants have had on U.S soil while the second one mainly focuses on the impact that the U.S and its policies has had on LA asylum seekers fleeing from their hardships in their home countries

these implications create a better understanding of the difficulties faced by both perspectives present in a topic that creates such controversy that goes back to the claim that the U.S immigration policy has much to change in benefit of the people of America but also for those who genuinely seek asylum in neighboring countries, more specifically immigrants coming in search for better opportunities could only benefit the U.S economy. ]]> 2021-11-05 04:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869207539 Synthesis Post mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869208279 - both talk about the different circumstances of immigrants
- the difficulties expressed within both articles are the same in the manner that they speak upon information/data collected from interviews and studies made within the same year
- both speak upon the idea of "social impact" and reasonings as to why immigrants come to the U.S over other countries essentially "pulling" Latin American asylum seekers

these implications create a better understanding of what may draw Latin American asylum seekers to the U.S as well as the social impact that these Asylum seekers have had on the American society, potentially "pushing" or "pulling" immigrants to America essentially creating this repetitive theme of the need for a change in U.S immigration policy in order to reform American society and its people's perspectives but also the need for change in order for LA asylum seekers to see this country as one that'll benefit them]]> 2021-11-05 04:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869208279 Synthesis Post mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869209267 - studies that try to find similarities in changes in perspectives towards immigrants as years go by surrounding the '65 chain migration
- the hardships of immigrants trying to assimilate into a new culture but being recieved with nothing but prejudice.
- both talk about how there is no necessity to essentially "punish" immigrants as they are also human and have their own personal reasonings as to why choosing America, but the imense amount of prejudice presented even to present day

these implications create a better understanding of the impact that American perceptions have had on immigrants with an abundance of unnecessary prejudice presented when immigrants attempt to assimilate to a foreign culture by which, going back to the idea of U.S immigration policy reform, the immigration policy should also be modified to protect genuine immigrants who come to the U.S to seek beneficiaries such a job]]> 2021-11-05 04:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869209267 Synthesis Post mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869209627 - propose the idea that there are certain circumstances that the U.S often overlooks when deciding whether or not immigrants are "worth" being recognized as potential Americans.
- immigrants are aware that they aren't the only ones going through change when they decide to go to a different country that isn't where their home was originally from.
- impact on workforce load, most of it being hard laborious work for almost nothing of pay but the Americans implying that immigrants have had no real positive economic impact on society and as a nation

these implications created a better understanding to the idea that many immigrants are well aware of the potential "greetings" they may receive as they make their efforts to assimilate to a new culture. As well, it goes back to the third bucket, that these immigrant perceptions are greatly influenced by the assimilation process that implies much more than learning the native language of the country.]]> 2021-11-05 04:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869209627 Synthesis Post mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869209738 - propose a more insightful layout of theories proposed by researchers made on the impacts that U.S policies have had on immigrants
- new norms of the assimilation process have become more of a survival, referring more specifically to the hardships that many immigrants face when settling into America

as result, these implications create a better understanding of the impact that U.S immigration policies have had on immigrants based off of research done that correlates with how certain immigration policies have embedded a great impact on immigrants having come from one of the biggest destinations to cross the border in order to be within American borders (Mexican-American border)]]> 2021-11-05 04:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1869209738 TRANSITION: CONNECTION FROM THEME TO THEME mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1870211560 ... because of the immense number in immigrants and it increasing yearly, the push and pull factors go hand in hand with the society perceives and addresses as acceptable socially]]> 2021-11-05 15:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1870211560 TRANSITION: CONNECTION FROM THEME TO THEME mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1870212110 the big takeaway that I would want for people to get from the social perceptions of immigrants is that, much of these negative perceptions come from influences relating back to the beginning of the nation. Looking into the negative perceptions towards immigrants many face hardships in assimilating to the new culture because of the cruel perceptions of Americans towards LA immigrants]]> 2021-11-05 15:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1870212110 CONCLUSION mariafernandadavila2 https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1875552643 importance-
- allow the understanding of the American perceptions behind being opposed to changing or reforming the immigration policy, to facilitate immigrants to enter the U.S.
- to fully comprehend the necessities and circumstances that are affiliated with both the immigrant's process to arriving and settling into a new country and their lifestyles in a country that proposes extended and unnecessary hardships in order for immigrants to be able to assimilate to the U.S.
themes-
- American perceptions on immigrants and immigration itself relate back to the immense number of immigrants and it increasing yearly, the push and pull factors discussed in the first theme go hand in hand with the second theme, that society perceives and addresses as acceptable socially certain situations of immigration but the hardships that Americans place on immigrants is crucial for the third theme. being that assimilation for immigrants has become extremely more difficult as often they are greeted by Americans with close-minded perceptions that make that much more difficult for immigrants to assimilate therefore, altering the U.S immigration policy could potentially end many unnecessary hardships for the immigrants and create a better nation for the Americans

potential solutions-
- I believe that the U.S immigration policy should be reformed/ altered because research shows the benefits of having foreigners come to the U.S and economically help the U.S but also because many immigrants leave their home countries for the danger of staying there and don't qualify to be considered asylees. ]]> 2021-11-08 16:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mariafernandadavila2/sikrgnkhsh3c0e6g/wish/1875552643
