移民正在改变美国农村的面貌。食品加工业全年稳定的就业是吸引移民进入中西部农村的最重要因素。已有大量文献记录了农村肉类加工社区移民激增后农村社区的社会和经济变化。本次调查的目的是调查移民对美国农村工作和居住的看法。为此，我们对居住在内布拉斯加州三个肉类加工社区的 43 名移民进行了个人访谈。参与者描述了移民路线以及国际流动、在包装厂工作和农村居住的动机。介绍了未来调查人员的工作以及政策和社会服务专业人员的作用。
Immigration is changing the face of rural America. Stable, year-round employment in the food-processing industry is the most significant factor attracting immigrants into the rural Midwest. Much has been published documenting social and economic changes in rural communities following surges in immigration in rural meat-processing communities. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine immigrants' perceptions of work and residence in rural America. To this end, personal interviews were conducted with 43 immigrants residing in three Nebraska meatpacking communities. Participants described routes of immigration and motivations for international movement, work in the packing plants, and rural residence. Work for future investigators and the role of policy and social service professionals are presented.
