Can you help me understand this Latin American Studies question?
Answer the four questions below. Each answer to each of the questions must be between 1- 2 pages. So you must submit a final between 4-8 pages total and in a single word document. Your answers must be based on your reading of the book: The DREAMers: How the Undocumented Youth Movement Transformed the Immigrant Rights Debate. By, Walter J. Nichols.
Based on the Story of the DREAMers as told in the book, explain and analyze the most important aspects of the struggle for a legal status that led to the creation of this movement.
- Identify and discuss the immigration laws and policies that were implemented at the federal level in the 1990s and how they made an impact on the migration patterns of undocumented immigrants to the United States?
- Identify the three important speaking points created by the immigrant rights organizations for the DREAMers and discuss the problems that began to emerge as a result of these speaking points for DREAMers and the rest of the undocumented community in the United States.
- “Undocumented, Unafraid and Unapologetic” became the new message crafted by the DREAMers, analyze why this new representation became a “coming out” moment for the undocumented youth?
- As part of their “multifront war” of trying to achieve victories, identify and discuss the laws that were passed at the state level in California and the “memo” signed by President Obama, that would provide for Dreamers a “de-facto legality.”
