New Immigration Laws Create Significantly More Work for Translation Agencies
How do most citizens view the fact that the SB1070 has been branded by many as controversial and has logically led to a lot of indignation throughout the country? The basics of this law demand that any alien who attempts to enter the U.S., tries to escape examination by immigration officers, and in his/her attempt to enter the U.S. intentionally disguises his/her representation is found guilty of entry by an alien. For a city like Phoenix, which provides a wide range of Legal Translation, this may be serious problem as there are several hundred thousand people living in Arizona illegally. As most of these people have difficulties with using the English language this is their only way of surviving in this obviously hostile environment. The fact that anyone who resides in the U.S. without proper documentation commits a violation against the law. The fact that calls for boycotts of everything that has any relation with Arizona are heard everywhere may have an even more negative impact on the whole situation. As a result, the problem of losing their jobs will not pass unaffected the Phoenix Translation workers. Relatively gloomy and unpromising will remain the picture for immigrants living in Phoenix and throughout the state of Arizona, as the U.S. have always had severe policy against immigration.San Diego, California is another city where people have shown their indignation with this repressive law. A demonstration of around a thousand people saw them marching on the streets of San Diego until they reached the federal building chanting and banging drums all the way through. As they passed, traffic was interrupted and employees, some of whom San Diego Translation workers, stepped out of businesses to watch the demonstrators, who were accompanied by police cars and motorcycles. They showed concern as most of the immigrants use their services and this could lead to worsening of their economic status. San Diego’s Angelica Hueso-Garcia was only one of the protesters who had decided to express their concerns at Chicano Park. Her way of protesting against an unjust law that she described as “racial profiling at its worst” was to bring her children and the whole of her extended family of twelve. The translation and interpretation workers expressed similar opinions as they pointed out that immigrants frequently benefited from their Birth Certificate Translation Services and Marriage Certificate Translation Services, so a policy like this could their business lots of harm. Outside the federal building there were protesters for and against the new immigration law. They frequently shouted at each other and exchanged obscene gestures as the police stood between them and tried to prevent the situation from getting out of control. They also tried to get into physical fight but were unsuccessful to do any harm. As yellow tape was separating the two groups San Diego police had also moved them about fifty feet apart. Those who were in favor of the Arizona law sang, “We love Arizona” and “Build a Fence”, while immigration activists responded, “Stop racial profiling” and “What do we want Justice! When do we want it? Now!?” Many other people across the country who were displeased with the policy led by Congress and President Obama went on similar demonstrations against the new law in order to support the immigrants who should be given the chance to acquire legal status.
