Although immigration to the United States has existed since the very creation of this nation, the recent intensification of immigration policies has been quite problematic. Current U.S. immigration policies seek to harshly restrict and regulate those persons wishing to enter the “Land of Opportunity.” Regardless of the increase and severity of the U.S. immigration policies, these policies have had little effect on reducing immigration rates from Mexico and Central and South America. Therefore, what relationship exists between U.S. immigration policies and Latino immigrants within the Lehigh Valley? This research analyzes the lived experiences of Latino immigrants in the Lehigh Valley. The lived experiences have been evaluated in terms of migration behaviors and work experiences. These lived experiences are further complicated by the presence or absence of documentation.
