Most immigrants to the United States are fleeing horrible living and working conditions in their home countries; they are running from dangerous governments, war or devastated economies that are causing poverty, famine, disease and worse.<\/p>\n
Though many Americans staunchly oppose allowing immigrants past the borders, many others are looking to provide aid to refugees and others seeking better living conditions in the U.S. If you are one of the latter category, here are a few careers you can enter to devote your life to helping immigrants, undocumented or otherwise.<\/p>\n
Lawyer<\/strong><\/p>\n Legal professionals could easily be the most in-demand professionals in immigration. Because immigration is a legal matter from beginning to end, immigrants and their supporters should be turning to legal experts, i.e. lawyers, for information and aid. Unfortunately, though there are upwards of 1.3 million licensed lawyers in the U.S., only a small fraction practice immigration law, which means there aren\u2019t nearly enough legal professionals around to help the millions of undocumented immigrants living within America\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n Thus, becoming an immigration lawyer provides you with the best opportunity to make a significant impact on immigrants\u2019 lives. To do so, you need only graduate from a three-year law program and intern at immigration law firms or clinics. Then, you should receive your license in a state most impacted by immigration issues, like Arizona, California or Texas. Once you hang your immigration law shingle<\/a>, you\u2019ll have plenty of chances to help out.<\/p>\n ESL Teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n Though America lacks a national language<\/a>, it is undeniable that speaking English is essential to finding success in the U.S. However, most immigrants come here before they become fluent in English, which means they are at a disadvantage for finding shelter, acquiring employment, seeking healthcare and more.<\/p>\n Teachers can help immigrants gain English language skills by hosting classes on English as a second language (ESL). To do this, you should pursue an education degree and supplement your work experience with a master\u2019s in TESOL online<\/a>. Though you can begin helping immigrants with just an education degree alone, the additional TESOL training will help you manage a classroom of non-English speakers and develop lesson plans that facilitate fast language acquisition. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you teach children or adults, language skills are essential for immigrants\u2019 success.<\/p>\n Non-profit Organizer<\/strong><\/p>\n Most immigrants come to the United States seeking safer living conditions and higher wages, but few have access to large savings as soon as they cross the border. As a result, many rely heavily on non-profit organizations to housing, food, legal aid and other essential resources while they get on their feet.<\/p>\n
