Immigration can cause a lot of family separation. In Migration Photograph the people are leaving their family and friends in hopes for a better life across the border. They are still getting separated from their families with this. In The Red Umbrella Lucy’s parents want her to come to the U.S in hopes that she can have a better life, even tho she doesn’t want to go. In both stories they are crossing a border and leaving their families for not only a better life

The article opens up with background information from Strait’s first two parts of her immigration article. She begins by explaining that immigration information can be found in news media, government agencies, nongovernment organizations, and scholarly journals. Using these sources, many researchers have found some debatable issues regarding taxing, military duties, repatriation, and profiling of immigrants. These first two parts open the doors for Strait to begin discussing the most fitting immigration model for various countries.

So what is immigration? The definition stands as the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. However, outside of a narrow definition we can see that it is actually so much more. It is the action of someone uprooting everything they have ever known in hopes of finding something better. Many times as we have seen through Enrique’s Journey means that children and entire families are left behind in hopes that one day they will once again be reunited (Nazario). Though many hope to see their families once again, their hopes slowly turn into dreams. Between 2010 and 2012 nearly 205,00 parents of U.S. citizen born children were deported in a staggering 26 months (Lincroft). Given that this is a statistic based upon families that are already in the US it leaves us to wonder how many families are torn

Even though there are lots of similarity between the two texts they have their differences. One difference is that

Immigration, a very popular topic, but most people only think about one side. The U.S citizen side is common knowledge, but what about the immigrant’s side? In the novel, The Book of Unknown Americans, by Cristina Henríquez, and in the article "Sick and Afraid, Some Immigrants Forgo Medical Care”, by Jan Hoffman, the major theme is immigrants and their fear. As shown in the novel and the article, immigrants have feelings and families, hopes and dreams. Immigration is a very controversial issue in the United States, but it should not be, since immigrants are people too, according to both of theses sources. Medical issues, the fear of harm, and unfair treatment, are the major things that both of these sources have in common and agree on. Immigrants are struggling in America, in more ways than one, and many are wondering if coming to America was the right choice.

Immigration is a topic that has been in the news often due to the most recent Presidential election. However, the idea of immigration is one that has existed since the Old Testament with stories of refugees fleeing from oppression. Immigration is an ideal that has remained a topic of discussion for years due to the positives and negatives of it. While immigration may have some negatives, it is my view that immigration is a necessity for the United States because of its roots in Catholic social teaching, effects on economy, and the need for basic rights of individuals to obtain a better life.

The points listed below shows a few of the similarities that are observed in the Text:

One of the most defining traits for the United States of America is that the nation is one made up of immigrants, it is a basic building block that can not be overlooked, nor should it. That being said, it is important to countless citizens to be open when it comes to immigration, while keeping the country hospitable to its citizens for generations to come. However, this attitude to immigration is a fairly recent phenomenon in American history, especially in regards to immigrants coming in from non-Western European countries. With the introduction of the Immigration Act of 1965 and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) came about the changes to immigration policy that would forever change the face of the nation and create the diversity that has become a point of pride. The sentiment is not felt nationwide, however, as the immigration patterns brought about with these two acts has brought hostility as well, especially from those who feel that immigration is a threat to the country as a whole, specifically illegal immigration. Immigration, and its illegal counterpart, is an issue that defines this period in American history, and while it did not necessary start off targeting Mexican and Latino immigrants, it has very much been immortalized within the communities and become the face of immigrants to the nation as a whole.

The authors infer and also tell us readers that immigration isn’t a present process, but is a necessary process. Some of the people in the story need to get out of a country because of a dictator or bad economy or just a better life.

What is immigration? Immigration is when a person from one country moves to another country with the plan of staying permanently. There are many reasons why someone may want to immigrate to another country such as the United States of America. According to the text around 214.2 million people immigrated in 2010 alone. The positive pulls may be for job opportunities, higher wages, educational opportunities, health care, family and friends (Guest, 2014). The negative pushes for a person to immigrate may be from poverty, famine, natural disasters, war, ethnic conflict, genocide, disease, political or religious reasons, lack of jobs, etc. People usually choose to immigrate for a better state of living.
