First of all, in order for the organization to have productive and ------------------------------------------------- satisfying work from the seasonal employees, there need to be a work design in affect along with a job analysis. The work design is the process of assigning and coordinating work tasks among employees. The employment laws for seasonal employees that are from different countries are in the North Carolina General Statues 95-222.229. The migrant Housing Act of NC (S.B. 631; North Carolina General Statutes 95-222:229 were made into law in the U.S. state of North Carolina in 1989. It oversees migrant workers housing through regulations of housing inspections, standards to be met, and recognition of housing that meets all standards and requirements after the pre-occupancy inspection is done by the North Carolina Department of Labor and the local county health department. Its goals are to ensure safe and healthy seasonal housing conditions. Migrant workers can be described as people who come from their home country to the United States legally with limited advantages, to work in a selection of trades such as furniture, agriculture, and construction. In June 2003, I was working at Wal-Mart in Kitty Hawk and every summer, they would hire migrant workers from different countries and provide housing for them.

...1/26/2015 Jennifer Rainville | Immigration Control Introduction Illegal immigration is a big problem in the United States. If you ask around where you live you will get so many different views and arguments. Realistically immigration has resulted in the laws having more illegal immigrants live and work here in the United States. I have read three different articles on the pros and cons of illegal immigration. Immigration is becoming a normal thing in the United States and it shouldn’t be. Summary In the article “Let Us Give Thanks to Our Immigrants” by Rupert Murdoch, he shows some evidence to support his agreeing with illegal immigration. He shows support on how they have contributed to the education in America. Whereas in the articles “The Winners in Immigration: Public Prisons,” by Aubrey Pringle, and “Republican Views on Immigration,” by RepublicanViews.org shows support on why immigration is not good for the United States. Murdoch shows that many of the high paying jobs in the United States are held by immigrants or children of immigrants. Whereas Pringle and RepublicanViews.org shows that our government is suffering because of all the illegal immigrants in our country. Argument Murdoch is pro-immigration. He has provided evidence to show why he supports immigration. He also was an immigrant himself and all his family was from Scotland. He does state though that these days it’s hard to talk about the benefits of immigration after 9/11, because many Americans...

..."America's Toughest Sheriff". He is known for his hardline stance on illegal immigration as well as the way inmates in his county jail are treated. Although many people don't agree with his approach on illegal immigration, they do agree with the way he treats his inmates. His philosophy is that if you are going to commit a crime and go to jail, you should be treated like you are in jail, not like you are in Boy Scout camp. Sheriff Arpaio was elected as Sheriff of Maricopa County back in 1992. Since he has become Sheriff, many of his policies that he has put into place have been met with resistance. One of the most controversial topics is his views on how illegal immigration should be handled in the county. Since 2005, he has cracked down on illegal immigration by conducting immigration sweeps targeting day laborers and also businesses and people that hire illegal immigrants. (Bashir & Culhane, 2009). You used to go to the local Home Depot and see 20 to 50 day laborers hanging out in the parking lots looking for work. But since Sheriff Joe started enforcing illegal immigration, the parking lots are now empty. Where there used to be workers waiting around, looking for work, there are now signs that state that hiring illegal immigrants is illegal and you could face jail time if you are found hiring them. He has also ordered his deputies to conduct routine traffic stops so they can check the immigration status of people that they may think are in this country illegally. As...

...Dan Isaacs 8/19/14 Mr. Mchugh summer assignment Immigration Immigration is the chosen movement of people from one country to another, usually with the aim of permanent settlement in the adopted country. If the people who are fleeing from their country because of an immediate threat to there health and family then they are considered refugees because they seek refuge in another country. Immigration is a human form of migration. Migration is as old as the first human group. One example is indian tribes would hunt in groups or pacts. When the hunt would move they would move. The tribe would move wherever they have to so that they can survive. Even now people immigrate. It might be because of war or as a result of a bad government, but whatever the reason immigration will never stop as long as one country has a better place. Throughout history immigration have occurred in different societies because of politics, religion and many other reasons. Immigration has effects on the society, it could be a negative or a positive effect or a combination of both. Today's most common immigration is the immigration we can observed from undeveloped countries to more industrialized countries such people from all over the world to the United States. In the past immigrations was much different then today. In the past people immigrated from many countries like italy, germany, asia, france, united kingdom and many other countries....

...Illegal Immigration Illegal immigration has been a problem for the United States for a long time. This phenomenon is not new because thousands of illegal immigrants have come into US through either the Mexico border, the Pacific Ocean, or through many other ways. Some people have entered the country legally through a visit visa, but then have stayed illegally and are working in various places. Illegal immigration is a double edged sword; in one hand it provide the local economy with cost benefits as the illegal immigrants are not paid so much, while they are more productive. On the other hand, these illegal immigrants do not pay taxes and their employers also do not pay their taxes. There are both pros and cons of illegal immigration and this paper shall take a look at some facts pertinent to illegal immigration in the United States. Every day thousands of illegals stream across the 2,500 miles of border with Mexico. According to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS, the total number of illegals in America from this source increases by 275,000 annually. Already the United States is host to an illegal population of 7 to 12 million, of whom the vast majority are Mexican or Hispanic in origin. These illegal and uninvited guests help themselves to jobs, education, welfare and unemployment compensation. The many whose wages are paid under the table pay little or no taxes. And they are easy prey for unscrupulous employers and politicians (Ted Hayes). The U.S. population...

...Krystal Flores Soc 3413 6-27-13 Dr. Mercado- López Mexican American immigration act There are lots of current policies/events going around in the world and it affects the Mexican Americans community, but there is one that affects mostly all Mexican Americans is the immigration which is the most issue in the United States and Mexico. Mexican and Mexican American immigrants seem to share a common culture identity because of discrimation. Currently discrimination has influenced young and older Mexican Americans so that some fear they have gained into the American society. Current immigration is fair and without immigration the United States would not be as nearly as diverse as it is today. First the United States should allow a certain number of immigrants each year so immigrants who need protection. This also protects people from persecution and shows that the United States should welcome immigrants who need a safe environment. The United States immigration also focuses on immigrants from North America, particulately from México. Mexicans immigrants come to the United States because they believe they will find work (farm work) in the fall because it’s a seasonal and they seek a job. It also affects the Mexican American community because as immigrants enter the United States they are more likely to in areas where their family and friends settle in with them and people consider it to be overcrowded and Mexican immigrants start taking over the Mexican...

...the reins now. However, one of the popular tribunes had failed to cheer and as Julius passed him, he looked down to him and sneered, “Go ahead, Aquila, take back the republic from me – Mr. Tribune!” Julius Caesar would be murdered by the Roman Senate, with thirty-three stab wounds, to bind the senators together. However, all the senators would be dead soon, for their crimes against Rome. In their efforts to save Rome from a dictatorship they condemned the republic to death. The people of Rome cheered their new leader, Caesar Octavianus. The senate of Rome had been drawn away from the people, and only the weak served in the senate house – while the strong ran private armies in the field. In the same way today we can draw parallels. Most Americans would not picture our own senators as the living embodiment of those we would wish to lead our nation – strong, capable, and honest people – but rather as conniving politicians. If America continues on its current course it will leave the people in a position of favoring the popular dictatorship, over a house of legislature that they feel are corrupted. Once a precedent is set it is very difficult to remove. One day America will have its Julius Caesar – and the nation will be forever...

...Does Immigration Cost Jobs? Economists say immigration, legal or illegal, doesn't hurt American workers. Summary Do immigrants take American jobs? It’s a common refrain among those who want to tighten limits on legal immigration and deny a "path to citizenship" — which they call "amnesty" — to the millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. But most economists and other experts say there’s little to support the claim. Study after study has shown that immigrants grow the economy, expanding demand for goods and services that the foreign-born workers and their families consume, and thereby creating jobs. There is even broad agreement among economists that while immigrants may push down wages for some, the overall effect is to increase average wages for American-born workers. Immigrant workers "create almost as many" jobs as they occupy, "and maybe more," "They often create the jobs they work in." In addition, "they buy things, and they make the economy bigger," The impact of immigration on a nation's economy remains small, for several reasons. Immigrants are not competitive in many types of jobs, and hence are not direct substitutes for natives. Local employers increase demand for low-skilled labor in areas that receive low-skilled immigrant inflows. Immigrants contribute to demand for goods and services that they consume, in turn increasing the demand for labor. And immigrants contribute to labor market efficiency and long-term economic growth.

It puts me at ease as I climb on board. ("Italy Genweb", 2004). The feeling of comfort does not last very long, I am traveling on the steerage deck, which is open with no protection from cold and, stormy weather. I am always exposed to the damp sea air. Days pass by and turn into weeks it is a long miserable trip. Food is hard to come by; we have to fight our way to the kitchens and, then fight over raw potatoes, or; rice. Even when we have the luxury of finding food there is no way to prepare it. The worse is the crew members, if we are caught they beat us unmercifully. It is chaos all over, and the mothers cry as they watch their children starve. The smell is almost of bearable the unwashed bodies pressed together.

...improving my life and to make a future for myself. My home in Italy was starting to become difficult to live in, especially with reading and hearing all the news and opportunities that America has to offer. I had seen a poster on the corner by a steamship company that depicted the most affordable way to travel. With all the possibilities in mind, this was the way I wanted to reach my goals. The price for a ticket for a steerage or as a third class was about the amount of $25, which was about a three weeks of work. In order to move there were protocols to travel if you were going to take a trip on a steamship to America, Those protocols were: I was expected to reach the port that I want to depart from the day before the ship left the America. It was due to myself going threw a medical examination to assure that I wasn't carrying any diseases and I also got vaccinated. The trip took us almost two weeks. My area that I would sleep and spend most of my time was on the lower decks of the ship it was very close to the engines (It was hard to sleep with all that noise). With matters and a pillow. The beds in my area looked like bunk beds that were stack up too high. Usually the lower decks of the ships would have about between 300 to 400 passengers. As I arrived into America and into the New York Harbor where I had gotten off to go through immigration to get the process in Ellis Island. The backdrop was breathtaking as I could view the Stature of Liberty as I got off the ship. As I was entering...

...As time went by and one day in college, one of my classmate told everyone that there was an amazing law program at the University of Houston that help students get into law school. Therefore, I took the opportunity and applied. Thankfully I have been in the University of Houston Pre-Law Pipeline Program for two years in a row. One of those summers I had the honor to intern at the University of Houston Law Center Immigration Clinic. During my time there, I learned so much and I felt so good after meeting with every single client. I believe the reason that I felt so good because I had a great connection with the clients. I realized that I have a unique way to relate to people because of my background. The moment I knew that legal immigration was my calling was when I went to the Hutto Dentition Center. I had the honor and privileged to go with the immigration clinic team to help interpret to a student attorney that did not know Spanish. This trip’s mission was to help women prep for their credible fear interview or help write their affidavit. At this dentition center, most of the women staying there were coming from Central America because they were domestically abused in their home...

Rain showers can occur at any time of the year. But sure, the rain that washes over Ireland is what makes the grass so green and creates a sense of magic over the misty countryside. And shadows in the clouds bring out hues in the mountain tops and lakes. The southeast is the driest region, enjoying more sunny days than the rest of the country.” The population of Ireland is 4,775,982 and the median age total is 35.4 years,...
