Immigration and Social Justice from a Macro Social Work Perspective
Immigration and Social Justice/Macro Social Work
Tenets of Just Practice Framework in regards to the film Wetback and the Catholic Safe House worker's perspective
The Just Practice Framework is a structure and context of social work that is centered on five tenets which are power, possibility, context, meaning and power. These five canons encompass five questions. First off, in what manner do the relations and structure form and outline the lives of people and the practice of social work? Secondly, in what way do we give meaning to the familiarities and circumstances that form our lives? Thirdly, in what context do these circumstances and familiarities take place? Lastly, in what manner may a past perspective assist us understand the ways in which struggles over meaning and power have turned out to be, and better value the human significances of those struggles? We shall closely look into each of these tenets with regards to Wetback Documentary.
These five tenets of Just Practice Framework will be investigated in the documentary film Wetback and then the theory and practice will be linked through the action of the one of the administrators of a Catholic Safe House through seven core processes. These processes will be engagement, teaching/learning, action, accompaniment, evaluation, critical reflection and lastly celebration.

Meaning: How do individuals give meaning to the experiences and circumstances that outline their lives?
Each person perceives things in their own individual way when giving meaning to an aspect that they realize or listen to. This is every so often inclined by the manner in which they have been individually impacted at a point in time within their lives. Meaning carries consideration to explanatory or revealing developments and to the partial and individual nature of our comprehension and awareness of the social realm. There are numerous aspects that influence the meaning within our lives and hand us the capacity to distinguish dissimilarity. This may consist of beliefs, race, dwelling, gender, status, and sexual alignment (Finn and Jacobson, 2008). In as much as there is the possibility for interpretation, there is also the chance for misinterpretation. Therefore, the search for meaning necessitates a practice of emptying and scrutinizing or observing one's position for both the client as well as the social worker.
As the administrator of a Catholic safe house, I am stimulated and heartened to revisit and separate my own position prior to giving meaning to the immigrants who cross several miles through the desert and try to swim through the Rio Grande. It is important for me to make an attempt to comprehend how these immigrants make sense of their world as I make comparisons to the meanings of my own. I have not experienced poverty or gone through any form of oppression and therefore it would be difficult to make comparisons of suppositions and judgments. In order to have an understanding and significance as to why more and more immigrants are willing to go through such tortuous experiences, I would have to experience such poverty that these immigrants go through and the great desire to obtain the American dream.

Context: In what context do these circumstances and familiarities take place?
According to Fin and Jacobson (2008), context can be described as the setting and set of circumstances as well as situations that encompass and impact certain conditions and state of affairs. Context permits us to perceive further than the palpable or apparent and perceive aspects that may perhaps be overlooked. The lives of the immigrants emanating from Central American can be considered to be a roller-coaster. It appears that their lives in their resident areas are filled with issues that do not come to a halt. Within social work practice, it is apparent that the intertwined and interlinked contexts that bring this about are social, communal, economic and sociopolitical. By taking a look at their background as well as their circumstances, I am able to have a stronger and clearer understanding of what impacts and ways these proceedings and circumstances in their lives. From the time of their youth, these immigrants can be deemed to be products of the social and economic of individuals who have gone through a poor system. Their sense of belonging is not a place that one would want to belong. Difficulties and problems such as high levels of unemployment, poverty, starvation...
