Photo 23: Immigration and Families

Photo 23: I grew up in Orange County and used to see the running family signs all the time driving to San Diego. I asked my mom to take one when going to visit her partner's mom this weekend. She said the signs are no longer there anymore or that she doesn't see them. I knew I wanted to use this sign for my immigration picture and decided to settle for using one off the Internet. The picture represents immigrant families and their struggle to have a better life in the United States. 

Sociological Perspective: What sacrifices do immigrant families make to forge a "better" life in the United States? How do immigrant families assimilate or resist American culture? What strategies do immigrant families use to maintain culture in the United States? How does the relationship between immigrants and their U.S. born children affect family dynamics?
