Another example is a mother that has moved away and is several states away, you know they are not physically there but they are always psychologically there in your mind and heart.
The second one is “Family members are physically present but psychologically absent” I think this is like a spouse being depressed and unable to cope with daily activities, they are physically there but their mind psychologically is not, they need help and understanding.
I think migrants feel forced to leave their own country and families behind in order to find work to support their

    Recurring patterns of behavior are happening in the migrant workforce. As seen in Victor Huapilla’s story in The Harvest, all his family is becoming migrant workers. Some have started school, but from a young age most have to start in the laborious work of farming. These workers are working as much as they can to save money not only to stay afloat financially, but to also bring over other family members from Mexico. Even though they value an education and want to pursue certain dreams, because of their economic stature and low incomes they are stuck doing farm work. Through different generations of their family they are spending most of their time working, sometimes 12 to 14 hour days. In these families it is becoming tradition to go…

    Many of the people who immigrate to America from Mexico do so because they are impoverished and in search of better work that will bring them a better standard of living. The problem is that these poor people typically have little to no formal education or job training. This means that they more often than not end up working as unskilled laborers. A common practice is for these people to become migrant farm workers that move from farm to farm in the American West picking different things for farm owners depending on the season. The life of the migrant farm worker is not an easy one. Many farm owners have been known to take advantage of the lack of education and organization of these poor people to get them into bad situations where contracts require them to work grueling hours for meager wages and to lose a lot of that small bit that they did receive back as living expenses. The workers found that the only way to earn fair treatment was to organize into labor unions. Because of the hard work and dedication of heroes of the organized labor movement like Cesar Chavez, migrant farm workers all over have been able to improve their lots in life.…

    Regardless of where immigrants are employed and what region of the world they come from or go to, their essence has been tied with a negative social construct that emphasizes their otherness and makes nearly impossible to evolved in their new environments. All over the world most immigrants work in the areas of agriculture, domestic service and industrial labor. Deep in the fabric of Western global economies, industries have allocated positions specifically directed to be occupied by immigrants, thus creating a norm that caters to exploit the restricted condition immigrants. This consequently excludes local workers creating animosity from the appearance of foreigners taken jobs from the natives.…

    I strongly disagree with having migrant workers being legal. Think of the kids, isn’t there a law saying, “No child left behind?” Well many kids are left behind in their educations right now. Why? Because they are always on the move, transferring from one school to another. They have to learn different subject in every school and can never start school on the first day, and always have to come in the middle of the school year, then move again. What about the hard working parents, and their parents, generations after generations are forced to stay to mbe migrant workers, in order to have enough money and survive. And no one could ever ever make any friends. That is not fair, and yet many migrant workers are out there in the world, still suffering and picking crops right now, in this minute. I believe that there should be more than the 5o-mile law and for migrants to have more…
