American Refugees

I was 14-year-old when I left my country to move to America in March 2012. When I heard I was moving to the United States, I was so delighted words cannot even describe how excited I was that day. I remember the night before my trip I could not sleep. I was excited because my whole family was going to be with me. My dad migrated to Florida four years before we came, therefore, I could not wait to see him again.

I grew up in a small town in the state of Michoacan, Mexico until a few weeks after my seventh birthday. In 2001, after six years since my father petitioned to have us come to the United States with him and finally he had received a letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that his request had been approved. Being of that age, I was my mother’s companion everywhere, however, all I could grasp from those conversations was that we were going to the United States. I don 't think any of us knew what this meant or to what extent this would change our lives, not even my parents whom I thought knew it all.

Should america let refugees in the us. I think that refugees should not be allowed in the usa and they should be kicked out of the us because nearly 44% of america are non english speakers that used to be18% so non english speakers are slowly over powering us americans and they will soon kick us out of our country we should kick them out and keep them out for america's sake.

My father moved to the United States before I was born. The reason is simple, like any other father he wanted the best for his family and that meant searching for new opportunities in this country. As my third birthday approached my mother and I prepared for the transition. At that time my father worked on a forklift in a recycling company. Years later he got laid off because companies no longer wanted to risk being

In the beginning, there were perhaps as many as 4,000 Kickapoo. However, by 1660 almost all the Algonquin peoples were living as refugees in mixed villages in Wisconsin. Intermarriage and mixed populations made exact calculations impossible. A federal Indian agent during 1825 believed there were 2,200 Kickapoo, but he acknowledged that only 600 of them were actually on the Missouri reserve. 200 were still in Illinois, and at least 1,400 more were dispersed between Missouri and Mexico. In 1852 there were 600 living in Kansas, but 300 then departed for Mexico soon afterwards, followed in 1862 by 100 more. The approximately 800 Kickapoo who returned from Mexico, starting in 1873, were sent to live in Oklahoma. Oklahoma and Mexican Kickapoo have

In 1987 my grandmother worked for the Soviet Banking system. She was able to see what was going on in the Soviet market. Despite the fact that everything was going well in the Soviet Union, my grandmother knew something was off. My grandparents and my mother started their journey in January of 1989. Their first destination was Italy , where all of the Soviet Immigrants were headed before their final destination of Israel. They were in an immigrant condo for 3 months in Italy. My grandmother and my mother sold hand knitted blankets on the streets, just so they would have enough money to buy food and pay their monthly rent. My Grandfather worked as a construction worker in Italy. When it was time to move on

Fear is taking over. All around you is fear, surrounding you, taking control. We let the fear sway our emotions, our perceptions, our ideology. Everything is constantly changing because of what we fear. Our morals are being betrayed because of fear; our instincts are being denied because we give into fear. That is why so many people are afraid to let innocent, terrified people into our country. Although, many see the Syrian refugees fleeing from the crisis into their country as a threat, there is no reason to be afraid. The refugees should be allowed into the United States.

British North America (now Canada) where slavery was prohibited, was a popular destination because of its long border gave a lot of access points. Most former slaves settled in Ontario. More than 30,000 people have reportedly fled from there through the network during the peak period of 20 years, although census figures represent only the US Refugee 6000. Many stories are described in the Book of Records in 1872 subways William Nevertheless abolitionist who then led the Philadelphia Vigilance Committee.

The one story that opened my eyes was ali because she came to America and figured out how to speak. The immigrants were very scared to come to America. They had to learn a lot of things to come here. They had to get an education. They also need money to pay to get the education so they have to work for the money.

The welcoming of numerous Syrian refugees into America is contentious, likely to cause or is causing an argument. It 's no secret that our President, Barack Obama, made a promise, a year ago, to bring in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next fiscal year. Those who are all for it believe showing our morals, using non-government help, bettering our economy, adding to our diversity, and strengthening our alliance is what will come out of allowing them through. The opposers feel that the likelyhood of them being terrorists is to great, they will be too expensive, have to use our taxpaying dollars, could over populate, and push us away from potential job oppurtunities, that is why they shouldn 't be allowed here. Are you for it, or are you against it?

“I pray for the day when the children of Syria wake up to the sounds of birds not bombs” (Syrian quotes pintrest.org). Syrian refugees are escaping from the destroyed countries. In addition, Syrian refugees are leaving there homes that were torn down by war. However, other countries don’t agree with the idea that people want refugees to enter America. Refugees have to be always accepted because of the many hardships they are facing and it has been the American tradition for

The challenges the refugees had to face included the complications of their pasts, and how wars in their home countries altered their lives. From the wars, members of families were scattered not only through America, but through the world from displacement and resettlement. Other family members were shot or killed, sometimes in front of the refugees. “...Luma expressed frustration that a young Liberian player seemed to suddenly zone out during play. Another Liberian who knew the boy told her she didn’t understand: the boy was forced by soldiers to shoot a close friend,” (John 58). In some cases, people were thrown into jail for no reason, or without proof of wrongdoing. Paula Belegarmire’s husband was fallaciously taken from his home and jailed

My experience of moving to the USA included a couple of steps such as preparing, arriving, and adopting. Moving to America was one of the most thrilling and exciting experiences I have ever had in my life. It all started after I graduated from high school. I had always dreamed of going to abroad to study in a better school to be successful in life. My dad was leaving me hints here and there that he was going to send me America for school, but I was sure that it wasn’t going to happen because getting a student visa was tough back then. However, that summer when I saw that letter in my mail from the immigration department of USA for an interview, I was speechless.

The refugee crisis has served not only to create a massive humanitarian dilemma, but also to shift the political sphere of the European Union and the United States. The influx of immigrants has placed Europe under massive strain, and Germany is unable to sustain the number of refugees that it has been accepting. The United States is Europe's greatest ally, and has come to the aid of Europe before;

As an immigrant myself, I know the struggles, hardship, and the difficulties that come with being accepted to the United States, as well as the struggles with becoming a citizen. The many barriers and the conflict that my family and I had to endure were very exhausting. For example, the many denials, then anticipation but finding out we weren’t accepted. Dealing with the rejection was especially hard for us. However, that didn't stop us; we knew that there will always be a chance as long as we kept on trying. The wait was well worth it because I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better. Even though I was too young back then to really understand the situation, I could still realize that there was something wrong every time I
