Blog Post #45 -Test Tomorrow -

     Today in class we took some more notes on the powerpoint which we actually finished since our test is tomorrow. Here is a summary of some off the notes on the powerpoint. Ravenstein noted that most long distance migrants are male, adult individuals rather than families with children, and young adults seeking work. Now onto Immigration and Mexico's border with the United States. View from the U.S. recognizes motives that compel unauthorized immigrants to enter illegally, which are employment opportunities, family reunification, and better way of life. Northern Mexico has compassion for unauthorized immigrants since they don't have to deal with immigrants from Guatemala like Southern Mexico does. Southern Mexico is much less tolerant. Immigration concerns in the U.S. by U.S. citizens are ambivalent in nature. These are border control which some people want to be more effective with spending money and some people think money shouldn't be spent on border control. Also, in the workplace, some people support U.S. citizenship for immigrants, and some want to deport them if they're unauthorized. This goes along with civil rights. A "Sanctuary City" is when a city wants to make their own laws. Onto European migration which is actually disliked by some countries in Europe. The host country fears that their culture will be lost since other languages, religions, and cultures are coming into their country. The immigrants there are blamed for crime, unemployment rates, and high welfare costs. That is all the notes I took for today, really hoping to do well on the test tomorrow.
