  • Executive order granting temporary work permit to relive undocumented immigration issues – President Obama
  • 13-Aug

    The long-pending issue of illegal immigrants crossing the US border has pushed President Obama to consider taking executive action on immigration. Granting of temporary work permit or providing some immigration relief to millions of undocumented immigrants is likely to come before mid-term elections in November.

     According to the report, President Obama is likely to grant temporary legal status to thousands of undocumented immigrants who are already inside the country, and permit them to work while they are in the country. There are chances of increasing deportation that is much faster than the usual routine. However, President Obama is not going for universal amnesty for all undocumented immigrants, and if there are any policy changes, there would be granting of work permits that will enhance protection from deportations.

  • Who is an Immigrant? Who is a refugee?
  • With thousands of Central Americans crossing the US border, massive waves of immigrants and refugees have been described.

    Border crossing across the US from the Central Americas has become a topic of everyday news. It has become a hard task for the government to distinguish if the migrants are subject to deportation to their home country or should be given asylum.  The Central Americans crossing the U.S. border in massive waves can be described as immigrants or refugees.The distinction is significant and could determine whether the migrants are subject to deportation to their home country or eligible to remain in the United States under asylum.

     Who are Immigrants?

    Individuals who embark to settle in another country is called as Immigrant. They opt to seek legal residency and eventually green card citizenship. Immigrants can be legal or illegal. Many of the highly skilled workers come through the legal way and become green card citizens, however there are many undocumented immigrants who have escaped from their country for better opportunities and crossed the border illegally. There are nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Several issues have cropped up with illegal immigrants and US administration are fighting day in and out to bring right immigration reform yet.

    Who are refugees?

    Refugees are people who have fled their home country in order to escape from their race, religion, nationality, and due to political opinion, are unwilling to return to their motherland. The recent border crossing to the US from Central Americans-Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans are fleeing to escape from drug and gang-fueled violence. They are eligible to apply for asylum in the US; it is a lengthy process and it would take years before getting refugee status. The applicants need to prove that there are at risks if they go back to their home country.  

     Children who have made it to the US would be covered by the law that has ensured all the children with a full immigration hearing instead of being turned away or sent back. The hearing would determine whether the children have a valid claim for asylum. The law is now cited as one cause behind a projected 90,000 children from Central America and Mexico who will cross the U.S. border alone or with other children this year. Asylum is a protection available to people who are already in the United States or are seeking admission at the U.S. border and eventually becoming green card citizens.

  • Mexican underage immigrant children continue to cross the American border illegally even after being caught several times
  • 11-Aug

     Of the 11,000 Mexican minors who have tried to cross the border illegally into the US, only 2,700 children were detained for the first time. According to the Pew Research Center report, nearly three- quarters of the children have been caught trying to cross the border illegally more than once. Nearly 15% of these would-be migrants were detained by immigration authorities and deported at least six times.

    Even though Mexican minors are deported almost immediately when compared with Central American children, still they go ahead to cross the border as most of these migrants are males in their late teens, whereas Central Americans come in all ages with girls tending to be on the  higher side. Moreover, Central America is far off, and crossing over the second time is not an easy task.

    Even after being deported a number of times, these children still make it to US border solely because of poverty and increased violence. Many of these young children are coming from border states like Tamaulipas, Sonora, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Guanajuato, and Michoacán.

People of Mexican-origin are the biggest subgroups among the Hispanics community.
