Unauthorized Immigrants

Today in human geography we learned more about Unauthorized immigration. We talked about the border in between the united states and Mexico. The view of this from the U.S is that we recognize the motives of them being that they want a better life, employment, and to reconnect with their families. From Mexico, the northern Mexicans want America to show passion to unauthorized immigrants all while southern Mexico is in the same situation as America with all of the unauthorized immigrants coming from Guatemala into Mexico. Then we talked about the attitudes toward migration in the U.S. For example how many Americans want more effective border patrol, and how many jobs unauthorized immigrants can have because of the lack of people who want to do those jobs. And how U.S citizens favor letting law enforcement officials stop and verify the legal status of anyone, and how the problem of illegally coming into America, people suggest it show be the federal law take cover of that. Then how much like the U.S a lot of immigrants come into Europe, and how they are blamed fro crime, unemployment rates, an high welfare. However they are very against immigration but in the nineteenth century ninety percent of immigrants came from them. But Europe is nervous about losing their cultural heritage to that of new immigrants. To end class we talked about some characteristics for long distance immigration. It said most immigrants are male, most are adult individuals, most are young adults, most adults seek work rather than other things.
