Chapter 17 Hispanic Americans
Chapter 18 Bilingualism
Lascarides and Hinitz write the Mexican-American population is one of the largest cultural groups in our country and among the poorest economically, and least well educated. It appears as though cheap labor not only by Mexican-Americans but also Blacks, Asisans and others has been a driving force behind policy makers allowing immigration. If you were a policy maker would you allow immigration? Under what circumstances?

Great question!
Immigrants should be allowed to come to the United States as long as they become productive members of our society. I understand that there are concerns about national sercurity however I think that most people who come to the United States want to make a better life for themselves and their families. With the abundance of technology available, it seems that time and money should be spent on developing a way to do background checks on potential immigrants. These checks would allow officials to determine if immigrants were productive and followed the laws in their native country. I think that since we are a country founded on the basis of immigration, we should have more flexibility when it comes to these policies.
Absolutely! I could not agree more.
