Arizona's governor Jan Brewer signed what is now the most horrendous law of all time. The law SB1070 allows cops to question you on your immigration status, just based on the way you look. Also if they say they're doing this right then why don't they pull over Indian's or Arab's, I have nothing against Indian's or Arab's or any other kind of race, but if they're doing this fairly then why are they only pulling over Hispanics. It also prohibites people to knowingly hire immigrants. People say that that is the reason unemployment is rate is so high. So what immigrants aren't allowed to work because citizens can't find jobs. Who's fault is that?
There are kids who grow up in the as immigrants and they study and work hard. For what? so that they can be deported after a lifetime of hard work. Some immigrants grow up to be the most famous people in the world. The Dream Act is a group that helps student immigrants. The Dream Act has been denied two times but they don't give up, they just get back up and try again. I think we should all be like that, never give up.
Its scary not knowing if one of your family members goes out to work like any other day and not knowing if they come back. What do you think of this law?
I think that forever 21 is the blame because the should know where the clothes they pay for are made from and I just slapped away the case like they really don't care. If no immigrant people worked for sweat shops they would run out of business. You think that a person who went to school and got a degree they would be willing to work for three dollars per hour! Nope they would have no one to make anything.
1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia? How is it different?
I think its different because living conditions are a little bit better than in Indonesia.
2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops? Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at McDonald's?
Immigrants end up working at sweat shops because they don't have any citizenship papers and most jobs require those papers so the job that doesn't require and papers and no experience is sweat shops.
3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie
I think that at the end of this movie all the workers for Forever 21 Will have made a difference in working together and not being afraid that they would be deported or go to jail. Showing other immigrants in the same position that they shouldn't be afraid that they have a voice and can speak up.
1. What does it mean to “make a decent living”? What should you be able to afford to buy?
You should be able to afford clothes,sneaker, going to the hospital, and basic stuff.
2. Where do your sneakers come from? Who makes them?
I think sneaker are made in a factory somewhere in the world.
3. What is a sweatshop (take a guess, even if you have no idea)?
I think a sweat shop is a place where children have to work as child labor.
