According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanics are the largest minority group, making up 16.3% of the U.S. population in 2010, and increasing to 17.6% in 2015. This swift growth of the Hispanic population is an aspect of America that needs to be closely examined because, as many have already noticed, the Hispanic culture and Hispanic people are seemingly \u201Ctaking over\u201D, causing fear to simultaneously arise. However, this fear, as Dr. Guillermo Grenier states it, \u201Cis [itself] a fear tactic\u2026 and if one were to break down the fear into its component parts, and then look at the research, you begin to see that fear doesn\u2019t have a basis in empirical reality.\u201D In other words, the fear that many Americans are filled with is based on half-truths, or stories that only depict one side\u2014the supposed bad side for America and Americans. These stories rarely depict the struggles that Hispanic immigrants, Mexicans in particular, must endure. Furthermore, despite the many negative consequences they face after their arrival, Mexican immigrants still continue to migrate to the United States. Many of these negative consequences stem from US prejudice and discrimination towards Mexican immigrants, which can be found throughout many aspects of American society and culture, such as in U.S. law enforcement, which strongly targets undocumented immigrants; and in the burdens of working in low-paying, hard-labor jobs. In addition, the negative consequences above also cause negative psychological consequences\u2014stress, low self-esteem, and destructive behavior such as drug and alcohol abuse However, some of these negative consequences (especially negative physical and mental health outcomes), can be mitigated when these immigrants maintain some of their Mexican cultural values like the strong family bonds present in recent immigrant families. In other words, assimilating, or \u2018Americanizing,\u2019 can sometimes perpetuate negative outcomes, but it can also cause positive results, such as the creation of biculturalism, in which both the Mexican values and American values are merged to form a \u2018new culture.\u2019 Ultimately, both of these hypotheses will be examined in the hopes of revealing whether the migration to the United States is truly worth it for the migrants themselves." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "E184.M5 G68 2017" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2017" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "E184.M5 G68 2017_GoveaKarla" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001715/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Govea, Karla" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Honors)--Barry University, 2017.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 47-48)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "viii, 52 leaves : 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Karla Govea.
