Brief Overview/Why it matters:
By exploring the issues and challenges that immigrants in San
Francisco face, such as problems they face in the workplace and how
they are financially, we will be able to have a better grasp of what
they are going through. Looking at data throughout the recent years to
find possible ways to help and contribute to immigrants. Comparing
certain data to each other to see how it has changed over the years.
For a long time since 1860, half of the city has been immigrants
traveling from all over the world.
We chose to research the topic of immigration because of how it
relates to us and our families. Immigrating from Asia to San
Francisco, our families had to work really hard to get where they are
today. This matters because of the obasticales that immigrants all
over SF have to go through, succh as lack of equality, racism
(especially during covid times), and so much more. Although
immigration is a subject that is talked about more often in the past
years, raising awareness of certain statistics that are important to
share.
Challenges:
When it comes to problems that immigrants face, there are a majority of
things that they face. Especially during COVID and pandemic times,
having access to healthcare and information can become strongly hard for
them to get by. Along with stereotypical ideals and insults because of
race, it can be hard to do simple tasks outside in an everyday life.
Furthermore, there can be problems in the workplace when trying to get
employment and a stable income to support their family. Even worse,
those immigrants who are low income will find it challenging to have
good access to the internet or a smartphone, which can make it hard to
find necessary information.
