Latino Problem in the United State

Introduction

According to Francisco (24), the population and Latino presence in the United States

has grown and have improved their situations as immigrants. Contrary to popular belief,

Latino immigration is not something that started. Latino people have lived in the southern

United States, which was once part of Mexico. When the United States decided to conquer

these territories, not only acquired more land, but also acquired more people and new

cultures. Because of this, through the history of the Latin people in the United States there

has been conflicts that have resulted in laws created, which normally favor white people.

Although the anti-immigrant policy has had and continues to have, a great impact on life and

in the future of Latino immigrants, politics is not the only problem with which Latinos face.

Problems Latino immigrant to USA are facing today

Despite the fact that many Latinos are trying to join the culture of the United States,

several are faced with socio-economic, educational, and access to health services inequalities

and this aggravates the situation. While it is true that the support of friends and relatives is

very important, depending on the problem, sometimes professional help is needed, which is

not sought, sometimes because of lack of resources and sometimes because of the stigma

about diseases. Some studies estimate that less than 10% of Latinos with Emotional Disorders

seek the services of a mental health specialist. If you feel frequent sadness, nervousness,

fatigue, or irritability, it may not be something temporary but some kind of mental health

problem (Weber 1106).

Moreover many of the Latino immigrants have been victims of racism, hate crimes,

and have suffered the violation of their basic human rights to through laws and reforms in

opposition to immigration. Latinos living in the States today face the violence of physical

hatred, and suffer from the violence and psychological hatred. Apart from the harm suffered

by victims of violence, the violence and hate crimes also affect other Latinos who have not

been attacked because it causes them to fear for their safety and for the safety of their family.

It seems outrageous that the United States could have stopped most of the racism against

African American people in the past, still does not exist today, but not racism and violence

against Latinos and which is ignored and overlooked even today. So far, Latinos have hoped

to stop the racism produced by politics, Violence, and hate crimes. However, Latinos have

had and will continue to have a positive impact on economic and cultural aspects, among

other things.

The mental ills of modern life affect anyone. However, the immigrant must adapt to a

new culture with different customs and a different language, living - in addition - experiences

of discrimination and inequality. Mental health is related to the way one thinks, feels and acts

regularly, in different circumstances of life. For example, all people feel worried, anxious,

sad or stressed from time to time. Nevertheless, if these feelings remain for a long time and

interfere with work or personal relationships, then it is likely to be a mental health problem. It

is estimated that only one in five families in the United States suffers from these types of

problems, including depression, phobias, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, among the most

common. Moreover, immigrants, including those of Hispanic or Latino origin, are more

likely to develop them. The good news is that all these conditions are usually treatable and

can be resolved with therapy and / or medicines.

Of course, mental health problems are not unique to the United States or to Latinos,

they can affect anyone, regardless of where they live, at any time. The most fundamental

problem facing this situation is that you have the wrong idea in front of them, a "stigma" that

stops when it comes to seeking help or going with the doctor or a qualified professional to

establish the diagnosis and Receiving appropriate treatment. Whether it is for grief (shame) or

thinking that you should have the strength to get ahead alone, this consultation is avoided

when actually it has nothing to do with strength. Just as high blood pressure and diabetes are

diseases that are not treated with strength, depression, panic attacks and other mental

disorders also require treatment from a professional. However, some studies indicate that,

because immigrants tend to have more stress, because of the cultural changes they are

exposed to, they are more likely to suffer some type of mental health problem.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it is pertinent that immigration can be traumatic because it involves distancing

loved ones and family member. According toGutiérrez (355) the immigrant must adapt to a

new culture with different customs and a different language, in addition, can be discriminated

against and often even leads to conditions of life that are not good. All this can lead to certain

conditions such as stress, depression, and anxiety.
