Challenges Of Immigrants

The U.S has a prolonged history of discrimination. In the late 17th century, when America declared as a free country, only the white gentility had the privileged of “freedom” and African American continue their life as slaves for many decades. As the country grows, it became a dream land, a refuge for immigrations fled from their country to seek freedom and pursuit happiness. However, the gene of discriminations stuck deeply in the mind of the early founding fathers; hence their descendents also obtained the hatred toward immigrations who look differently. In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, many immigrants such as the Jews, Chinese and Japanese immigrations came to America with the hope for

America has long been the land of hopes and dreams People from all over the world came to America for a better life. America was underpopulated. For the country to build and develop, she needed more people, therefore the government passed Act 1802, which invited people to come here and become citizens (Welcome). The native people of the country welcomed everybody to come live and become citizens here. They also claimed that they would respect and appreciate human rights and would not discriminate against people of other nations. Randall and Morales describe the efforts and struggles of immigrants who came to the United States and tried to become her citizens, a thing that in reality is very

The United State of America has been a place of opportunities where one can easily achieve his or her dreams. Critiques have shown that even a few who are brought up from a poor family have to turn out becoming great people on earth. It is a country that was built by immigrants. It is well known that “America's first European settlers were America's first immigrants. These first citizens were welcome by Native Americans, and they were seen as a threat. By the 19th century, the pattern had been repeated many times, with each new wave of immigrants encountering mixed reactions from already established Americans.” Turner, Laura Leddy. "Challenges Faced by Immigrants in the 19th Century." Synonym. N.p., n.d. Web. 27 June 2017. After the British took over the land from the Native American and started to develop the land, there were other European countries who also migrated to seek greener pastures. They were not accepted easily but had to be screened in order for them to be welcome into the system. The early settlers were so threatened after they were able to get rid of the natives of the land “The German, Irish and Italian immigrants who arrived in America during the 1800s often faced prejudice and mistrust. Many had to overcome language barriers. Others discovered that the challenges they had fled from, such as poverty or religious persecution, were to be encountered in America as well. A mass migration of Germans began in the mid-1830s and continued into the 1880s when

Money is a problem for immigrants because too many migrate to the United States, and they would sell everything from their old country to get in America. The solution was to find a job to prevent being poor, or the immigrants should come prepared with a solution before they migrated to the United States. Crime is another problem because the poverty created a chain of multi-reaction of crime. Education is another problem because the immigrant student did not understand English, so the best solution is to have an ethnic neighbor who understands both English and their language. Also, there might be a teacher who can understand their language, but it very uncommon.

Language is the primary problem. It is very difficult for new immigrants to settle down with poor English skill. As a new immigrant, I am an example. By the time I came to Canada, I needed a place to live, because of my poor English, my seeking was

The changing environments throughout the ages have caused the movement of thousands of families out of their homelands. Whether forced to make such decisions or doing so by their own desires, all immigrants have had to survive the physical and psychological challenges encountered along the way. To speak about the experiences of all these different people using the same ideas and examples would be quite inaccurate. They all, however, had to live through similar situations and deal with similar problems. Many of them succeeded and found the better future they were looking for. Many others found only hardship and experienced the destruction of their hopes and dreams. All of them were transformed.

In “Immigrants” by Pat Mora, they are struggling to achieve acceptance and help their family have a better future. The parents are trying so hard to associate their children with “American traditions” and still are left wondering if they will be accepted in America. In my opinion nothing is worth loosing your actual culture or values. They are literally willing to do whatever it takes to transform heir children into American traditions. “Feed them mashed hot dogs and apple pie” (Line 2 Mora). Both Hot dogs and Apple pie are both American food and American culture. Wait there is more they are even considering changing the names of their children. Buying them blonde dolls and football cleats both have typical American

Immigrants come to America seeking a better live for themselves and families. Reasons for immigrants to come to this country is seek opportunities not available in to them their countries. Although immigrants come here in pursuit in a better life they must work hard to achieve their goals. Immigrants face serval struggles when coming to this country. Struggles they face include learning the language, finding a secure income, and finding a suitable place to live.

I am who I am today because of my parents, first my dad worked so hard in order to be able to pay to get our papers and be able to legally come into the country. The immigration process took more than 10 years. We were only able to see my dad once a year because he was here working and saving up to bring the family together. In July of 1998 just 3 months before I was born my sister Elena passed away before being able to come into the country, she waited for so long to reunite with my dad and it didn't happen she left before her dream came into reality. When my family was finally able to reunite we made the most of it we enjoyed every second with each other. When I entered school I was known for the Mexican girl who didn't know English however

Sara Arbini decided to leave her husband in Syria in order to gain access to proper medical care. She says, “It’s like we went back 200 years.” Finding work, clean water, and electricity became

On an early dawn in April, my mother and father woke my siblings and I up and told us to shower and put the clothes she had laid out for us on. They told us to pick our favorite toy; I chose my Mulan doll. We hurried into a taxi with three large suitcases and no idea where we were heading with such secrecy. It turns out, that would be the last time I would see my country of Birth.

I never apprehended how fortunate I was until my life changed on December twelfth two thousand thirteen. I was only a freshman still trying to adjust to new people and a new school. I would have never thought I had to become a responsible adult much earlier in life. It all began with one phone call from my mother saying she just been struck by a car.

For the past 18 years of my life I have watched people assiduously walk in and out of my life. Although People coming in and out of your life is a normal thing, There were four people whose departure impacted me the most. To be more specific, my father(s). I have witnessed my mom make several attempts to find the right man would impact both of our lives in a positive way. My mother has been married four times and the same trend continued to repeat, they all left. For a long time I was used to the fact that people coming and going, I would say that i became a realist at a very young age. As i've gotten older I was never able to understand why every single person left, I always thought their reason was me, the typical bratty spoiled kid with

“I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind to whatever nation they might belong” this quote is by George Washington, but A Country is for all is another quote by Jorge Ramos. Everyone of any culture should be aloud in every country they want. There shouldn't be a law that doesn't let people out of a country to find a great new start for them. In this essay we will be talking about immigrants in the late days, border crossing, and families being separated.

As the daughter of two immigrant parents, I've had the same feeling children from immigrant workers experience.To live in fear, not knowing whether or not their families will have enough food and a home for the next day. Many families like my own live paycheck to paycheck, never having enough money to survive. Sometime it's either you pay the rent, or you buy food, and at the end there is nothing left other than the safety of their families. Farm workers work in low paying jobs, long painful hours, harsh work conditions, and on top of that they can’t spend time with their families because they don’t have the time to do it all.
