Help Support Immigrant Families

Chain migration must end:
In the US, reunifying immigrant families member (spouse and children) should remain a priority of immigration systems. As of today, our system allows for single immigration to secure a green card of his or her parents or siblings that will ensure the extended family to relocate within the US. Family-based immigrants do not factor in what immigrants can contribute to the United States economy nor the cost of bringing in less-educated immigrants.

Adopting employment for immigration system:
Improving the employment-based system for immigration should be added to their green card. Migration would ensure the number of green cards recipients employed and significantly contribute to the economy, legal permanent resident status within the first few years. Fulfilling their employment obligations will allow them to remain in the US.

These country caps limit the amount of immigration's that comes over from other countries every year countries like Mexico, India, and China. By changing these reforms restrictions, if the U.S what allowed more highly achieve individuals from around the world to fulfill their opportunities to migrate to the U.S. Link to The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) are two of the nation’s most important federal laws relating to the education of children.

As a CTE Education Teacher, I would enjoy teaching a course at a college that would provide students with knowledge of career opportunities in the field of teaching and other school site educational professions. Standards, which include basic academics, safety, communication, interpersonal and problems solving skills, integrated throughout the course.  Also, having the class participation in fieldwork at school sites under the guidance of the teacher. All students are required to observe and or/participate in a variety of settings and classrooms at the primary/ elementary, middle/junior high and secondary levels.

Also, offers both a theoretical and applied academic foundation to the components of psychology, including cognitive development, biosocial development, and psychosocial development.  In fact, assuring all students, their high quality of educational experience.
