The author mentioned in this part of the article that segregation was a characterization of these immigrant communities. This brought me to think that it has played an immense amount of attention for their families stability. They are being destitute from opportunities others have to become successful in their lives. They come here with a dream to have a better life not only for them but for their future children as well. Their ethnicity has separated them from opportunities in school like getting financial help and going to a good school.
This article only made me reflect on all Latino workers/students today. Many need a work permit to work and have to worry about having to refile every year. Students like DACA are worried today that their dreams of becoming someone with a professional career will be taken away just because of their status. I believe that it's unfair because all those who worked really hard are now put a stop to what they have studied so far. We can see through this how segregation continues to flow through today's society when you are not financially stable or have the privileged ethnic background.

If Migration has occurred for many years, Why do you think that these immigrant communities have stayed at the same level for many years? Could it be because of the change of laws over the years?
I like that fact you are able to relate to the article on a personal level. I agree that due to migration and immigration policies it's hard for minority immigrants to support themselves financially, as they got to work to keep the family secure. To answer your question, I think they have stayed at the same level due to the lack of policies issued towards the stay of immigrants, opposed to those of deportation. There are far more laws reflecting negatively among immigrants rather than positively, in fact they even receive lower wages from their white counterparts.
