ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to address the most common myths about immigration in the United States. Similar to the anti-immigrant sentiment of the 1800s, the immigration debate today is filled with misinformation and fear-inducing tactics. This misinformation colors the perspective of many, promoting a culture of xenophobia and fear of anyone who is foreign born. By reframing the often unchallenged narrative that immigration to the United States is a problem and in addressing some of the most common myths, social workers will be better equipped to engage in well-informed, balanced dialogue on this hotly debated topic.

面对现实的移民神话：基于文化的社会工作实践的必要视角

摘要 本文的目的是解决有关美国移民的最常见误区。与 1800 年代的反移民情绪类似，今天的移民辩论充斥着错误信息和引发恐惧的策略。这种错误信息影响了许多人的观点，助长了仇外文化和对外国出生的人的恐惧。通过重新定义移民到美国是一个问题的通常不受质疑的叙述，并在解决一些最常见的神话时，社会工作者将更有能力就这个激烈辩论的话题进行信息灵通、平衡的对话。
