As per the act, the right also extends to the point that a student or parents can ensure whether the said program is proving to be beneficial for the student. READ MORE

•I think everyone in the world knows, that most immigrants coming to the US come from Mexico. Mexico has low economy and a high population. The country is still engaged in a war with various Mexican drug cartels which kills more than 80,000 people every year. The US on the other hand has a powerful economy with more number of jobs and a safe environment which attracts Mexican residents to come here.
•Most people in Mexico live under the extreme poverty line. Mexico is not a third world country but it’s also not a developed economy. United States offers more benefits for the unemployed and for people living on the streets. This is a major bait for many Mexican illegal immigrants.
•There’s a high percentage of people coming into the US not for employment or food, but they come here to meet their long lost brothers or family members. It’s a common practice for immigrants to cross the border to meet their loved ones.

Shift in Business Economy
Earlier, American economy was greatly dependent upon manufacturing industries such as steel, textile, automobile etc. These industries presented number of opportunities to uneducated but capable labor. Most of the workforce constituted of African Americans. However, this scenario has undergone a sea change with the emergence of new economical sectors such as Health Care and Information Technology. As a result of this, the reliance of American economy on traditional manufacturing sector reduced. These sectors demanded highly educated and trained professionals. This eventually, led to loss of business opportunities for the minimally educated workforce.

Unemployment
Although, unemployment is one of the cause of poverty, it is an altogether different social issue. Unemployment stems from various social, economical conditions. As mentioned above, shift in business economy is one cause of unemployment for a particular section of society. However, apart from that, there are several other factors which lead to unemployment. It is hard to ignore that majority of impoverished people are either unemployed or only part time employed. Only 2.5% of poor people come from a full time workforce. These figures indicate how a person’s financial state is influenced by his employment status.

Lack of Education, Skill
The incidence of high school dropouts is in congruence with the rate of poverty. Lack of education flatly translates to lack of employment opportunities, which eventually leads to poverty. As the demand for laborious jobs diminished, uneducated people were left to welter in poverty. As these people neither had education nor did they acquire any skills required to sustain in changed economical scenario, they were driven into the vicious circle of poverty. This again constituted a large number of black people.
