It helps Mexico keep its birth rate down, and lets the Mexico economy grow. The disadvantages to Mexico of this migration The disadvantages to Mexico of the international migration to the USA is that Mexico loses many of its more gifted members of the population, as mentioned before, those who migrate are often those who have some kind of skill that they think may make them employable in America. Most of the migrants are literate. Mexico is left with the least adaptable, and the poorest, to work in the countryside. Attempts to control the flow of migrants by building maquiladora Many factories are built just inside Mexico, by American firms.

A lot of them come here not to stay, but just to work so that can provide a better live for their family in Mexico. Most of the people in the film said that “It was hard for them to leave their family behind but they had to do it. It was the only way they could provide for their family”. By them come to the United States and work and send money home back to their family is also helping to stimulate the economy. Mexicans who came to the U.S. send home nearly “25 billion dollars in 2008”.
NAFTA even had an important provision for the welfare of the Mexican laborers. However, the rosy picture was little more than window dressing at a grand scale. The maquiladoras were factories that employed many unskilled laborers and some office workers. To call the maquiladoras, “sweatshops”, would not be an understatement. Wages actually decreased in Mexico and increased in the US during NAFTA.
is equal job opportunities. In the 1960’s many Hispanics were migrant farm works, people who move from state to state to provide the labor needed to cultivate crops. They were among the most exploited workers in the world. They resorted to this because it was very difficult for them to succeed by other means in American society. The United Farm Workers (UFW) along with Cesar Chavez tried to help the farm workers gain more pay, and better working conditions.
One of California’s major problems is illegal immigration. If the reality people have of California has truly changed, immigrants would not feel the need to come and risk their lives to try and live a better life out here. The main motive for an immigrant to come to America is to seek work to help financially maintain their families wherever they may be from. They will work at any level for any pay, because being a gardener in America is better than being poor with nothing in one’s native country. At the end of Richard Rodriguez’s Proofs, the last line of the excerpts ends with, “I will send for you or I will come home rich” (71).

The Grapes of Wrath follows the difficulties of Joad’s and their journey into a land they thought was going to bring a better life. Their whole views change though when they saw what California was really like for the migrant workers. Though these ideas were more externally shown by some, the whole family felt the change. The Joad’s are a fictional family, but there may have been families just like them in the 1930’s traveling to find a better life in the West. The Dust Bowl was hard on many Americans from the mid Untied States and their stories maybe just the same as the Joad’s in John Steinbeck’s Grapes of
I was surprised when I learned about all the hardships they went endured to get here and to live in a foreign country. They came from a very poor area in Mexico and managed to make wonderful lives for themselves and their families here in the United States. I am especially proud of and admire the women in my family. Both my grandmother and mother worked hard and made many sacrifices to become the independent, successful women they are today. I can only hope I have half the determination and work ethic they do to create a wonderful life for me and my family.
Luckily for Aaliyah, due to various variables, the court ordered for her case worker to make arrangements to get her back to her family in California. Aaliyah showed a desire to want to turn her life around, so her case worker became an advocate to get her the treatment she needed. Though the cost of treatment was tremendously expensive ($3000 per month to be exact) her case worker fought for her, and the department agreed to pay for her treatment up until the age of eighteen. “Although she has struggled with her sobriety on occasion, she has been able to refrain from using methamphetamines and is now at a healthy weight” (Siegel & Welsh, 2011, 2). Aaliyah’s story speaks on how her environment changed her personality, aiding to the idea of the nurture theory.
