Prior to the assignment, I had the opportunity to interview and converse with a couple different kinds of people. I talked to family members who have immigrant members and support Trump's policies. I spoke to a stranger who was of Hispanic decent and related to the topic. I spoke to conservatives. And I spoke to those struggling to get through this tough time. Below is just a small summary, a gist if you will, of what I got and learned from them altogether. I was able to get opinions from both sides which was interesting, but also slightly surprising.
Who: Although even those who aren't personally affected would still support the business, they do not fall completely in line with the boundaries this business will pull in. The obvious outsiders would be those who completely support President Trump's immigration policies. The immigrants who are adults, say above the age of 21, may desire this type of institution but for now would not be able to enjoy the benefits. Those under 21 who have committed any crimes aside from their immigrant status will not be allowed in the facility. Those who have immigrant family members, but still continue to agree with the new policies will not support the opportunity.
What: The need I satisfy, in the beginning, will only toward children or those people under 21. This would be because of their, for the most part, inability to survive completely alone and unable to clean or eat to stay alive. I want to prevent serious illnesses and death among the somewhat innocent children that are put into this predicament that was not their decision to begin with.
Why: The underlying cause for the boundary is mostly due to political opinions and age differences. To some it may be common sense to help children in need, but to others there are always excuses and different reasoning not to assist others.
Inside the Boundary Outside the Boundary
Who is In: Families with immigrant children, Who is Not: Immigrants over 21,
The children themselves, Those who choose to serve Immigration policy supporters
What the Need Is: Save the children from disease What the Need is Not: A resort, a high
and being malnourished class facility, a hideaway, a reward
Why the Need Exists: Alternative Explanations: Immigrants
Trump's policies have ruined the lives of many more are criminals who deserve some type of
immigrants, which in turn shoved them into tiny rooms in harsh imprisonment, immigrants do not
detention facilities in which they are not treated with care deserve or improve the country, the
or clean areas. facility is no longer a punishment/too easy
Nina,
ReplyDeleteI think you have been very thorough in your approach to this assignment. Overall, job well done. I love your mission and the concern for young children who are unable to help themselves. This is a really important issue. It makes me remember back to the time that I traveled to Mexico to assist building an additional dormitory for a Boys Home in Chihuahua. It was explained to us that in Mexican culture the family will do its best to care for a female child until she is married but if the family is poor they will turn boys out on the streets to work for themselves. Boys from the ages as young as 8 years old through their teens had come to live at the boys' home because their families had abandoned them. Now most of the boys were in their teens but still not what we consider self sustaining adults according to American culture. This was very eye opening to me about the differences in culture.
Keep up the good work.
Best Regard,
Suzanna
