Describe a current social problem. How might this problem be
incongruent with social work values/ethics?
The current social problem is deportation and immigration of
people. The deportation of people has led to the separation of
children and their parents, (Jansson, 2018). There are five core
social values and ethics which include service, social justice,
integrity, dignity, and human relationship. The main goal of
social workers is to help individuals talk, manage and resolve
social problems. Social workers fight against unfairness and
promote social justice. Moreover, they also offer resources and
social support to the oppressed group. Social workers value the
dignity and worth of each person and treat clients with respect
regardless of the cultural and ethnicity difference. They are
expected to work in a trustworthy manner.

3. As a result of the current administration’s policies on
immigration several changes have been enacted which has
affected parents and children of people who attempt to migrate
via the Mexican border, refugees and Muslims.
How/when has this problem been identified historically, and
what were the actions taken to address this concern
Immigration to America began in the sixteenth century with
Spanish. In the seventeenth century, French and English settlers
came to America. Mass immigration occurred in 1880 and 1924
primarily from eastern and southern Europe; this led to a total
of 25 million immigrants. From early 1990 about one million
immigrants arrive annually. Policies were created and
implemented in 1920 to restrict immigrants. To address these
situation support groups have been formed, (Blackboard, 2013).
In 2012 President Obama began a program that offered two
years’ deportation deferrals and works permit to undocumented
immigrants. In June 2018 due to political and public outrage,
Trump signed an order that was meant to end the policy of
separating infants and children from their parents.
First, the Trump administration’s zero policy which requires
criminal prosecution of those who enter the United States
unlawfully has allowed undocumented migrants detained on
civil infractions. The migrants and their children are separated
as a result and have been placed in different immigration
centers after being held in cage-like structures at immigration
centers. Additionally, some children are placed into foster care
services and are moved to other cities to be placed in shelters,
As a result, the migrant children are separated from their
parents. The treatment of children and their parents at the
border goes against the creed and moral fabric of what Social
workers believe. According to the National Association of
Social Work. A "zero tolerance" immigration policy that would
prosecute families who attempt to cross the border and forcibly
separate children from parents is malicious and unconscionable
and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) will
press lawmakers to rescind this egregious action (NASW,2018)

4. Another aspect of the immigration policy has been the cutting
back of humanitarian aid programs. For example, the number of
refugees who are allowed to enter the United States annually.
On September 27, 2017, the Trump administration drastically
lowered the annual refugee admission cap from 110,000 to
45,000, the lowest cap since 1980. In FY 2018, only 22,491
refugees were admitted into the U.S., reflecting how the Trump
administration views the annual cap as a ceiling rather than as a
target goal to meet and effectively reducing the admission of
refugees to a mere trickle. The administration has lowered the
annual cap even further in FY 2019, to 30,000 refugees. (No
Muslim Ban Ever, 2019)
How have the groups affected by this concern changed over
time?
The group affected by this are parents and children, especially.
This social problem has led to the separation of infants from
their parents. Research shows that by June 2018, 2300
immigrant children including infants were separated from their
parents. Moreover, these policies can lead to traumatization,
stress, damage attached relationship, and wider detrimental
impact on the immigrant communities. The government needs to
stop the practice of family separation and children detention for
immigration control. (Plummer, et al., 2014).
Finally, the Muslims ban, in which the Trump administration
has stop entry to the U.S. from certain countries. This act is
considered discrimination of a person because of their religion
by the NASW. By permitting Trump’s Muslim Ban, the Court
encourages an underlying xenophobic and nativist trend. All of
which contradicts the nation’s ethos of religious freedom and
inclusiveness. It is unquestionable that discriminating against
countries based on nationality or religion will not make the
United States stronger; it will make us decidedly weaker in the
eyes of the rest of the world (NASW,2018)
