The video Wisconsin nonprofit seeks to better connect U.S. farmers with their Mexican employees. It speaks about Wisconsin, which many in our class call home. This video speaks about a local nonprofit organization connecting American farmers with immigrant employees in order to help build this bridge within this language barrier. This local nonprofit organization is called Puentes/Bridges, and ultimately like mentioned in the video its “intended to offer language immersion trips to Mexico, Spanish lessons for the dairy owner, English for their works, as well as a dairy technician training program, trying to help two very different cultures better understand each other.” I believe that this solution is very useful when it comes to the language barrier because it helps Spanish/Immigrant employees understand American farmers better. Also vise versa, the American farmer can communicate with their immigrant employees. I think this solution provides the opportunity to not only learn a new language but to be able to communicate better with others. Also, I think the idea of them offering language immersion trips to Mexico Kelly helps because it brings to the perspective of life over there and why there are immigrant workers working for them. That would at least make home realize that life in Mexico isn’t like life in America so they aren’t so hard on their work and overwork them plus underpay them. This story links to what we have studied in class because it addresses the issue of immigrant integration services by finding ways to bridge a connection between two different languages. Reading the solution gave me hope because it made me realize that there are actually people that want to learn Spanish. Like that shows that they don’t only see them as their workers but more than that. If they were to just be seen as workers, they wouldn’t even care about learning their language and communicating with them accurately. Instead, they outlive just wanted them to get their work done. It does give me hope for the future because I hope that more people take this into consideration because immigrant employees aren’t just their workers, they are more than that. The context of reception that I believe the solution would be more successful in is welcoming because this solution allows for the immigrant workers to feel welcomed. They just don’t feel like workers but human beings that are being understood. There's this misconception that immigrants always have it the worst in America because they can easily be taken advantage of but I think the solution would allow for this idea of welcoming to come into play. 

 This story titled When a parent is deported, the path to reunion starts with the Pima County group that talks about how many parents have been deported or detained, which leaves their kids alone. Many of these parents, later on, are left to not know where their kids are, and vice versa children don't know where their parents are. This has been going on for a while where there have been kids that have been lost or gone missing in the system and aren’t reunited with their parents. The organization Puentes de Gracia wants to open offices on both sides of the border in order to provide information about parents that arrive in Mexico and help them communicate with their kids that possibly are still in the United States. That way they can communicate and reunite parents and children. I find this solution very useful because it’s a great way to communicate from both ends. Parents are going to be deported, so there’s no way for parents to reach out to their kids. Same way, the kids don’t have a way to reach out to their parents. Therefore, this would help to reunite families because they can keep track of those who get deported and if they had kids. And eventually, have the kids go with their parents after they settle in Mexico. This way there are no kids in the system that are getting lost or parents that don’t know where to look for their kids. It gave me a lot of hope because I hope that this gets implemented as fast as possible and it would help a lot. Especially hearing that a lot of kids have gotten lost in the system and they don’t even know where they are just makes everything scary. So this being a solution it could help parents and children eventually be together again. I really do hope that this something gets implemented everywhere because it would be really helpful to keep track of it all. This story is linked to what we have studied in class because it addresses the issue of challenges faced by immigrants and/or their children and the deportation process. This is an issue that many families have to deal with when it comes to deportation because honestly they never know when the time will come. I think this solution would face opposition in welcoming because not everybody wants to help immigrants. They see them as bad and don't want to welcome them anywhere meaning also not wanting to help them in any way. So you can say that it could face opposition. 

 This story titled Cultivating A New Immigrant Narrative speaks about this problem of few Hispanic farmworkers taking up leadership positions in agriculture. The Future Farmers of America (FFA) works towards changing this narrative as a whole. The FFA like the story said, “can best be described as one part classroom-style education and one part extracurricular club.” Students take classes that can be counted as electives, which basically teaches them about agricultural science and trading skills like welding. Also, they are able to do hands-on work by goring drops, raising livestock for show and sale, and much more. This story is linked to what we have studied in class because it speaks about the issue of labor and workforce issues. Many immigrant families when coming to the USA tend to work in farms and agriculture. They have to work in harsh conditions and just like the story mentioned they aren’t able to take up leadership positions. Therefore, since they can’t move up from positions, they have to continue dealing with all the mistreatment and horrible pay. It shows us this idea of the workforce through the aspect of leadership. As for the solution, although it was very useful, in a way it only helps on the side of this problem. This solution ultimately only helps the students that take the class. The article mentions how 67% of the participants are Caucasian, which means there’s not a large number of Hispanics. How can this help Hispanic communities if they aren’t the ones taking up a large amount of the participant's percentage? Not only that, many of the farmworkers are there because they don’t have an education or papers. As Sanchez mentioned, “people don’t want their kids to have that job.” Therefore, the ones being affected are the ones working in agriculture which is ultimately not the kids taking the classes, it's more about the parents. I understand like teaching students about agriculture in order to help them take on leadership positions but at the end of the day, students already have an advantage. That advantage is an education, that like I mentioned before other Hispanic farmworkers don’t have. It is a good solution to one side of the problem if they want for future generations to change this perspective, which in a way their organization name portrays (Future Farmers in America) but I believe they should also find solutions to help the family of those who already have parents working in agriculture. Reading this article gave a bit of hope that things might change in the future because now we have students that are learning about agriculture and about leadership positions. Especially when they enter college, they already have some experience, which is really helpful. My experience reading this ultimately was great because I saw the impact it made. I believe this solution would face difficulties getting off the ground when it comes to welcoming because it only helps part of the community, and doesn't really get to the heart of the problem.
