Nursery plants are temporarily placed into a location in order to grow than once they grow to certain heights they are removed and permanently planted somewhere else. How well the plants look the more money they make, like how an immigrant’s visa determines pay and level of work and income. 
-An immigrant can qualify for a non immigrant working visa someone is put into certain categories and they just have to leave if their status expires.]]> 2018-12-17 22:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/20jjackson76698/brochure/wish/315370501 5.Establish the difference between a green card and types of visas 20mabramov77543 https://padlet.com/20jjackson76698/brochure/wish/315370779 -A permit allowing a foreign national to live and work permanently in the US.

Establish the difference between visas and other forms of humanitarian relief: 20jjackson76698 https://padlet.com/20jjackson76698/brochure/wish/315372175 -Visas are official documents that allows the bearer to legally enter a foreign country and there are specific types such as work visas, education visas, diversity visas, and family visas. Other forms of humanitarian relief are used to protect people who cannot return to their home countries because it’s unsafe or other issues that would lead to harm to the individual.
-Temporary Protected Status- granted to people who can’t return home due to a natural disaster or armed conflict, making it unsafe to stay
Deferred Enforced Departure-  protect individuals from deportation for those whose countries are unstable and dangerous

Establish the difference between asylees and refugees as well as what they have in common 20mabramov77543 https://padlet.com/20jjackson76698/brochure/wish/315372178 -Refugees are allowed to enter the United States because they are not able to go back to their home countries because they face the possibility of persecution because of their race, social group, politics, or religion. 
Asylees are people already living in the United States seeking protection from the possibility of persecution because of their race, social group, politics, or religion. 
Refugees and asylees are being protected for the same reasons, but asylees are already living in the United States and refugees are entering. The broken home can represent refugees because people who try to enter to United States as refugees come from a country that does not support them or their beliefs. Their home country is not safe for them and can be seen as broken. This home can be seen as a representation of asylees because they are currently in a good, safe place, but they are trying to avoid being sent to a broken place.
Estevan and Esperanza are considered refugees due to their home country of Guatemala and the issues inside of it. They ran away to seek safety in the United States, so they decided to seek safety with Mattie.

Some examples of those factors are jobs, family, and natural disasters/ refugees. Sometimes they have to prioritize things with time limits, such as if someone had to leave if war broke out where they previously lived. From the document’s point of view, family is also very important so that is why they allow the whole family to immigrant if a relative lives in the United States. Of course, with all these situations there are restrictions and conditions.

Explain why in The Bean Trees Estevan and Esperanza are compelled to seek sanctuary with Mattie based on how the U.S government determines and prioritizes who is granted legal access through green cards and visas 20mabramov77543 https://padlet.com/20jjackson76698/brochure/wish/315373314 -Estevan and Esperanza are compelled to seek sanctuary with Mattie because the the U.S government wouldn’t prioritize them first meaning it’s very difficult for them to legally live in the U.S. Due to both of them not having prior family in the U.S, not being a refugee and not having any type of work or education visa it makes them one of the last priorities of entering the United States.
