Migrants in the U.S.: An Argentine attorney, Mickey's Neighbor, shares assistance for legalization process
Carolina Acquila Warns Against Migration as a Quick Fix
Carolina Acquila, a lawyer and the creator of "The Neighbor of Mickey," has moved to Orlando, Florida, from Argentina in 2017. She founded the Argentine House in Orlando, an organization that works with the Argentine community in Central Florida, and runs a business named "The Neighbor of Mickey" in Orlando.
Acquila moved to the United States due to economic instability, insecurity, and labor challenges in Argentina. She warns against migration as a solution to escape problems, as problems are often magnified and follow one to the new place.
Acquila emphasizes that emigrating is an emotionally complex process, not suited for everyone. She advises those who wish to migrate to the United States to adapt to the place where they go and not close themselves off to only knowing people of the same nationality. Closing oneself off to only knowing Argentines, sometimes has bad results, she says.
Acquila stresses the importance of getting along with the place one goes to and participating in local events to integrate. She also advises those who wish to migrate to the United States about the American dream, saying that it is not a given, but a goal that requires hard work, perseverance, and determination.
Acquila's children total seven, and three of them migrated with her to the United States. She works with the Argentine Consulate in Miami and various Argentine organizations throughout the United States. Despite her struggles, Acquila sees herself as having "two homes," both in Argentina and in the United States.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, in fiscal year 2022, 4,128 people born in Argentina obtained legal permanent residence in the United States. However, it is important to note that these figures may not be entirely accurate, as specific details broken down by nationality, such as Argentinians, are not given in the provided sources.
In summary, Carolina Acquila, a lawyer and the founder of the Argentine House in Orlando, warns against migration as a quick fix to escape problems and advises those who wish to migrate to the United States to adapt to their new environment and participate in local events to integrate. She also emphasizes the importance of having an open mind and getting along with the place one goes to.
