A Review of Women Immigrants and the Challenges Faced: Perspectives on Higher Education in the United States

The United States is built on immigrants, purportedly under the banner of freedom and justice for all. Still, silently, the U.S. was founded on captured lands stolen from indigenous peoples and built by captured Africans, bought and sold in bondage as property to create great America into what it is today. That's the harsh reality of the new experiment called American democracy, a nation built on the backs of slaves, free labor, cruel treatment, and the little-known Black history fact that slaves built the White House. Fast-forward to centuries later, immigrants, especially women, are still being wronged by the powers that be - governmental policies, institutional rules, and regulations captured in their icebergs with fancy visible, and overt views above the surface for all to see. However, under the surface, it is fraught with discrimination lawsuits, wage disparities, cronyism, nepotism, tokenism, ageism, favoritism, and sexism in its invisible and covert view. With 110,000 immigrants arriving in the U.S. on a typical day, three entry doors have been ascertained: the front door for legal immigrants, the side door for temporary immigrants, and the back door for illegal immigrants. Which door did you enter from? InJa Ink PPP - People, Production, and Promotion brings you this body of work.
