Mexican Immigrants

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the research to date which indicates that the lack of education, social and economic mobility for new Mexican immigrants greatly affects their progress in American society. The study concludes that the government, through school and other support agencies, needs to plan programs and build infrastructures to facilitate growth among the Mexican immigrant community. The essay makes reference to the book "Always Running" by Luis Rodriguez.

From the Paper:

"The schools in America need to build a strong foundation for the future of our immigrant youth. This begins in elementary school where many immigrant children begin to fall through the cracks because of their inability to understand the language. Rodriguez experienced this first hand in his first year of attending public school. (Rodriguez 26) The teachers need to be trained to compensate for the language barrier. Hiring more teachers that do speak Spanish as a second (or first) language would help ease the transition for these students into America society. Having adequate supplies for learning is also a necessity."
