URGENT SERVICES \ IMMIGRATION ISSUES Context: Among all of the undocumented immigrants in the United States, Mexicans have the disadvantage of being from the neighboring nation and for this reason serve two basic purposes: a) to stabilize the national economy. They are sought and hired when cheap and plentiful labor is needed and expelled when there is a labor surplus. b) To justify the purpose and budget of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). The deportation of Mexican immigrants does not destabilize the labor force because it is quickly replenished and they join the masses of recent arrivals. Between 1998 and 1999, in the sweeps carried out by the INS in New York City-area factories, 84% of those detained and deported were Mexicans. Likewise, as a group, Mexicans are singled out for detention upon arrival at local airports. Services. Members of the Association’s Immigration Commission are preparing to offer workshops about to undocumented immigrants about their rights in case they are detained by Immigration authorities. They also organize visits to the Immigration Detention Centers. Those detained can call collect to the main offices of the Association to request assistance and, if they are detained from any point along the border, they can request information about the services and shelters available to them. Whenever there are new laws or regulations that affect immigrants or permit them to legalize their migratory status, informational workshops and assistance in filing applications for change of status are offered. Along with all of these activities, we continue with the permanent campaign for legalization, General Unconditional Amnesty, which seeks permanent residency for all undocumented immigrants. |
