Latinos Progresando was founded by Luis Gutierrez, who was just 24 and working as a volunteer. He is the son of Mexican immigrants and was born in the southwest Chicago's Little Village, one of the largest Mexican communities in the Midwest. This organisation is led by Latinos, and have an area focused on those immigrants suffering from domestic violence. Latinos Progresando strives to deliver "high quality information and resources for people to build secure, healthy, and productive lives."
This organisation have 3 principles which they stand by:
1) "An injustice to any community is an injustice to our community. Social justice comes from collaborating around diverse causes, even those that don't directly affect us."
This shows a wider range of support outside of Latino people, meaning that this can draw in more support from other races as they can get support as well, even though this organisation is mostly focused on immigrants in america.
2) "Every decision we make must be based on what is best for our communities, not just on what is best for our organization or any one individual."
2) "Every decision we make must be based on what is best for our communities, not just on what is best for our organization or any one individual."
This is similar to the first principle in the fact that they are focused on everyone and not just what is best for the organisation or a certain individual, meaning that this will appeal to more people.
3) "We do everything the best we can, because helping our communities achieve excellence means using and attentively refining our best practices."
This shows that they will do whatever it takes help others in need, and not just have set rules or programs in place that are limited to certain people.
This organisation helps those immigrants in distress and gives support to all immigrants, including Latino immigrants, and look to give all immigrants the right information they need to make the best of their lives in America.
Anti-Latino
Americans for immigrant control opens with the statement that they are a "American non-partisan grassroots activist organization" and that they are an organisation with "all races, creeds, and colors". They have a quarter of a million members, this showing that they have a lot of support and there could be emphasis that this is a widespread goal of a lot of Americans of all races, and that due to the amount of supporters, it will gain them more supporters.
AIC was founded in 1983, with it's aim of "stopping the millions of illegal aliens who sneak across our border from Mexico every year". This shows the views the people of this organisation and how strongly they feel about Latino immigrants crossing the border into america. They say that they want to deport "those illegal aliens already in the U.S." The referencing to the Latino immigrants as 'aliens' shows that they believe that these people are not human. This compares to language used against African Americans, as they were and sometimes still are refereed to as aliens.
AIC want to make it harder for illegal immigrant to get through the border and for them to have harder access to jobs, as they most likely feel that these immigrants are stealing their jobs, even though these immigrants will be getting the lowest paid jobs on offer.
Members of this organisation believe that this is an "immigration crisis", and want to alert as many people as possible to rally support for this cause, including going on radio talk shows and TV programs to "alert the nation". They also publish and give out letters, petitions, and postcard campaigns to "promote secure border control", showing how against this organisation is to Latino's.
