Note taking

Today in class, Mr. Schick handed out a packet to each student in the class. We were given instructions to take notes on the packet and highlight the context that we thought was most important. The packet was called 'Why Do Migrants Face Challenges'? Here are some of the notes that I took. The first topic was named 'Government Immigration Policies'. The two reasons that most visas are granted are four sepcific employment placement and family reunification: The U.N. classifies countries according to four types of immigration policies- maintain the current level of immigration, increase the level, decrease the level, and no policy, similarly, emigration policies are identified by the same four classes. Accoring to the U.N, 21 countries seek more immigrants, 32 want fewer immigrants, 116 wishes to maintain the current level, and 25 don't have a policy. The U.N. considers 67 countries to have policies that encourage more highly skilled immigrants and 14 countries to be encouraging greater family unification. The U.N. found policies to increase emigration in 18 countries. Decrease emigration in 46 countries. Maintain the current level in 43 countries, and 88 with NO policy. The second topic was, 'Unauthorized Immigration'. People who enter without proper documents are called unauthorized immigrants. Unauthorized Immigrant- is the term preferred by academic oberservers, including the authoritative Pew Hispanic Center, as a neutral team. Undocumented Immigrant- the term preferred by some of the groups that advocate for more rights for these individuals. Illegal alien- is the term preferred by some of the groups that favor tougher restrictions and enforcement of immigration laws. Distribution- California and Texas have the largest numbers of unauthorized immigrants. Nevada has the highest percentage. That is all the notes that I took today in class.
