Book excerpt: Originally a federally-funded organization created to serve migrant families in the 16 counties of Western Kansas, the Kansas Council of Agricultural Workers and Low-Income Families (kcaw-lif) marked the first major effort to cope with the problems of migrant life by providing basic services at public cost. A survey of 245 migrant families was conducted from June through August 1972 in 10 of the 16 counties served by kcaw-lif. Farmworkers were classified as seasonal, farm, and nonfarm residents. The analysis unit was the family; the family's principle breadwinner was interviewed. Since Chicanos comprised the largest segment of migrants, those interviewed were Mexican American. A questionnaire designed in English and Spanish was administered to obtain data concerning: citizenship, family size, education, language facility, religion, settling out, living and working conditions, service availability, and basic migrant attitudes about services. Interviewers were 14 local bilingual Chicanos with experience as farmworkers in the survey area. Some findings were: (1) jobs and legal services were most often cited as being needed; (2) more families knew of the availability of services than had actually used them; and (3) 57.9 percent of the migrant families indicated that they would settle out in Kansas if permanent work were available, and 37.7 percent said they would not settle out in Kansas.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the "Comprehensive National Survey of Migrant Programs" series, this directory was prepared for use by agencies working with migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the Southwestern states of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. The directory lists programs, services, and resources available to migrants in these states. Special emphasis was placed on information and data current as of summer 1974, obtained from Federal, State, and local agencies in the various states. Information is given for each state on: (1) programs; (2) crops and work periods; (3) migrant population and wages by county; (4) labor camps; and (5) supplementary data such as information sources and exhibits which depict county distribution and state relation to the national migratory patterns. The programs listed provide educational, health, legal, and job placement services to these farmworkers. Some of the listings of organizations, programs, or agencies may contain some obsolete information due to their: instability; being subject to change as new needs, priorities, and objectives appear; or as operating funds expire. Given in the appendix are an annotated bibliography of publications from the National Migrant Information Clearinghouse, Juarez-Lincoln Center and maps of the national migratory patterns, the Navajo Reservation, relative to surrounding states, and a migratory workers' road map.

Book excerpt: The steady stream of new immigrant labor into the Midwest has clearly begun to change the very fabric of rural life. Mostly male, Latino, single, childless, highly mobile, and with limited education, migrant out-of-school youth (OSY) between the ages of 18 through 21 face a whole host of economic and social obstacles that often hide and isolate them from the mainstream society. The concentration of migrants into a few jobs, such as agriculture, is a direct result of the demand for a particular skill set that is not dependent on the worker's English language ability. The target population for this study is migrant OSY in southwestern Kansas. Seventy-five migrant youth were identified between 1January and 30 April of 2008. The plight of migrant agricultural workers is well documented, however, very little research has been done on the perceptions or expressed needs of migrant youth. While migrant youth are willing to do the jobs rejected by natives, many often aspire to achieve something greater than their present condition. According to the study's data, the majority of migrant youth indicated that they would like to receive their GED, lean English, secure a better job, and develop additional life skills. If programs of support such as the federally funded Migrant Education Program do not provide migrant OSY with educational opportunities that will enable them to achieve and give them access to higher paying jobs, they will be relegated to the unskilled, low-paying jobs of previous immigrant generations.

Download or read book Illegal Immigration in America written by David W. Haines and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-10-30 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few issues have provoked as much controversy over the last decade as illegal immigration. While some argue for the need to seal America's borders and withdraw all forms of social and governmental support for illegal migrants and their children, others argue for humanitarian treatment—including legalization—for people who fill widely acknowledged needs in American industry and agriculture and have left home-country situations of economic hardship or political persecution. The study of illegal immigration necessarily confronts a broad range of migrants—from the familiar border crossers to those who enter illegally and overstay their visas, to the many unrecognized refugees who enter the country to seek protection under U.S. asylum law. The subject also demands attention to American society's responses to these newcomers—responses that often focus on limited elements of a complex issue. A comprehensive, up-to-date review of this volatile subject, this book provides an accessible, balanced introduction to the subject. Covering the full range of illegal immigrants from Mexican border crossers to Central American refugees, illegal Europeans, and smuggled Chinese, the book considers the kind of work the migrants do and the public response to them. The work is divided into four parts: Concepts, Policies, and Numbers; The Migrants and Their Work; The Responses; and Illegal Immigration in Perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of sustainability holds that the social, economic, and environmental factors within human communities must be viewed interactively and systematically. Sustainable development cannot be understood apart from a community, its ethos, and ways of life. Although broadly conceived, the pursuit of sustainable development is a local practice because every community has different needs and quality of life concerns. Within this framework, contributors representing the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, geography, economics, law, public policy, architecture, and urban studies explore sustainability in communities in the Pacific, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and North America.
