Men are involved in politics that are more home origin based. They focus on issues from their native land such as: medical resources, road construction, and sports stadiums. This involvement is called Hometown Associations where immigrant worker will form a group in order to help their hometown and mainly ran by men. Even though they are immigrants to the U.S. they have more power or money to change political policies in their native from the U.S. because they can work more and save more. The only downfall is that they can make these small changes, but the government does little to help and when they do it is only to get in the media spotlight.
Men focus on their native land because they have beliefs that one day they will return to their native country. The only thing is that this for many is only a belief that few have sought through. Immigrants have a mind-set that they will go back home with more than what they left with and impose change with their experience in this country. Maybe, this is why the their is a low citizen rate because they are wanting to belief that they will return and see their migration here as only temporarily.
Women on the other hand focus more on this countries politics because this country is better off for them. They have more freedom to work and not just be a submissive housewife. While int this country they gain independence from poverty or atleast lessen it and gain independence from their Macho husbands. Women tend to look for the future of their children in which they would rather see them grow up here than in their native land. Why would someone want to return to their land where change isn't near? they don't, therfore, they focus in their new home land.
Women here can organize against the wrongful doings of the government that effect them. Women unlike men they use all federal aid that is provided for them such as WIC, Food stamps, and child care assistance. These services help when women are busy in organizing campaigns.
Women focus more in th U.S. becuase ublike men they don't really care about going back to their home country. This country is better for them even though they have to suffer a lot in order to succeed, but in the long run is extremely better for them and their children

I agree with you on this Topic of Men V Women on Politics jesus, like the readings that we have done in class, women who immigrate to the u.s. are more likely to be involved in politics within their own community because they see the reality of not going back and preparing a future for their children here in the u.s. men are somewhat involved but the women take charge because they see reality rather than myths about going back to their born hometown out side the u.s.
