Case scenario
Catalina Dolores is a Latino woman who arrived in the United
States in March 2022; she comes from Mexico and is familiar
and very fluent with the Spanish language; however, she is not
as fluent in English. In Mexico, she worked as a farmer for a
large coffee factory from the age of eighteen after high school
as she was not able to attend further studies due to financial
challenges; thus, she worked to raise money for fees. She lived
with her parents in a substandard shelter in the Bajío region in
central Mexico before being held at the US Mexican border in
an attempt to enter the United States and was thoroughly
affected by the political instability at the border. Catalina
migrated to the United States in search of a better job to raise

Strengths and challenges related to their arrival and experience
of American culture
Catalina has strengths that can help her live well in her
immigrant country. She is a lawful immigrant with the
necessary papers to live and work in America; Budiman (2020)
states that about 77 percent of the immigrants in the United
States are lawful immigrants. The little knowledge of the
English language; can help her navigate as Catalina learns with
time to break the language barrier. She is also educated through
high school, meaning she can seek and find informal
employment that can financially sustain her and provide labor
for the United States economy. However, there are many
challenges that Catalina is likely to experience once they arrive
in America due to the difference in the American culture.
According to Bekteshi& Kang (2020), these challenges include
language barriers, access to employment opportunities, housing,
cultural differences, and prejudice.
Language barriers are the first challenge Catalina is likely to
experience because she is not eloquent in English, a common

a greater challenge. Cultural differences in beliefs, norms,

What do these verses reveal about God? When and how have
you seen the ideas about justice contained in these verses put
into action (i.e., when have you seen these ideas applied to real
life situations)? What are some modern circumstances that call
for Christians to respond by seeking justice, and what would
this look like?
Proverbs 31:8-9
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the
rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and
needy.
Jeremiah 22:3
This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue

5. from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do
no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the
widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
Psalm 146: 7-9
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the
hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free,
8 the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who
are bowed down,
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the
fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
