Most people will come in with symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder. They suffer from depression, maybe panic attacks. They also come in poor, often without a language, not having any kind of support system. They are isolated; they have lost their culture, lost their jobs. They cannot work here because they are not legal. They don't know how to find a place here that copies the work they did before in their countries. Most of the longest-lasting and the most damaging effects are psychological. A lot of medical issues can be healed.
