Mexican immigrants

After interviewing an immigrant, I found it truly fascinating to just listen to what she had to say. The immigrant I interviewed was from Mexico, which is where the majority of immigrants that come to the United States immigrate from. In the last 5 decades the single largest origin groups of Latin America have come from Mexico. In 2011, nearly 11.7 million Mexican American immigrants resided in the United States, which is about 4% of the US population. California has one of the highest, if not the highest rate of Mexican immigrants.

Proposition 187 Illegal Aliens

Proposition 187 made illegal immigrants ineligible for public social services. Illegal Immigrants were denied public health care services, and public school education at elementary, secondary, and post secondary levels. This act left many illegal immigrants uneducated and ill prepared for life in America. Various state and local agencies were also required to report suspected aliens to the California Attorney General and the Immigration Naturalization Service. It also made it a felony to manufacture, sell or use false citizenship or residence documents. We need our children to be educated for the better of our future.

Immigrants working the fields

In both California and Texas, agricultural employers have been hiring illegal immigrants since the World War era and before. Nowadays farmers depend on immigrants to harvest the fields, because most Americans have moved away from agriculture. The only ones farmers can rely on now are the immigrants. The immigrants come here for a better life, because back where they are from there is no hope for a greater future. Many immigrants come from far and there journey here is rough. It's expensive for workers to come to the U.S. Immigrants pay thousands of dollars for border experts to bring them here, and the walk here is tiring and dangerous.
