Why Do Immigrants Face Challenges?

Today in class we did something called a "flip classroom" where we work on homework in class and the lesson tomorrow. These are the notes I got from the packet:

- Today, most problems immigrants face are political
- A migrant legality needs:
   1. A passport to emigrate
   2. A visa to immigrate
- Most visa's are granted for a specific reason, (employment placement, family reunification)
- Countries Classifications for migration:
   1. Maintain current number of immigrants
   2. increase level
   3. reduce level
   4. no policy
- Terms for identifying illegal immigrants:
   1. Unauthorized Immigrant (neutral term)
   2. Undocumented Immigrant (people who believe in more rights for immigrants)
   3. Illegal Alien (people who believe in tougher restrictions)
- There are 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States
- 1 million of them are children
- 8 million unauthorized immigrants are employed (jobs no one else wants)
- Quotas: maximum limits on immigration per year
