Question regarding south/central american immigration into US

[RedCappedBandit]

Hey guys .. so long story short I need to write a paper on a topic relevant to globalization and poverty. Well, I'll just show you my e-mail to my professor ..

Anyways, the reason I posted this here is because I know you're all extremely intelligent super-humans, so I figured I'd ask you guys for some assistance. If you know of any resources I could use for some research, I'd be very grateful!

2. I do know a girl

who was born in ecuador and came here with her mother when she was young. I don't think she was old enough at the time to really be able to remember much of the circumstances that lead her family to come here.. I think thats a good idea, though. I'll ask her some questions but I'll have to be careful not to offend her.. I think it is a touchy subject. Thanks for the tip!
