Cuban and Salvadoran Immigration in the late 20th century

    Drawing directly from the Lillian Guerra article and Chapters 1-4 in Leisy J. Abrego’s Sacrificing Families (assigned Weeks 11-14) write a minimum 1,000 to 1,200 word essay that critically assesses the major differences in the refugee status of Cuban and Salvadoran Americans in the United States. Be sure to address the following two questions: How have differences in U.S. foreign policy shaped the way this country has responded to claims for refugee status by Cuban and Salvadoran immigrants in the United States? What have been the implications of differences in their refugee status on their respective immigration histories and settlement patterns in the United States?
