Immigrating And The United States

Immigration has always been a complex issue in the United States. Previous and current administrations have had great difficulties in setting policies and programs in place to address this problem. During the course of American history, laws were enacted to address such issues. There were numerous legislative milestones in regards to immigration in the United States. In order to understand the current issues regarding immigration, we have to look back at the policies that were in place along with the goals that they intended to serve. According to (Barusch, 2012), the United States had an open immigration policy; which means that anyone could relocate to this country. As a result of this policy, the government had to redefine

I had always dreamed to study in the United States of America since it is an extreme case to a lot of people around the world to have a chance to earn education the USA. I am fortunate to have this chance and I value that extremely. I had many challenges and barriers when I decided to come here to the States but I was very focused to earn a degree from here and I over came them in order to make my dream comes true. When I came here moving with my family to attend college that was the hardest part of moving away from my parents and other members of the family and friends. Back home, I was always known as a very social active person among women groups. I used to participate a lot in women clubs and activities due to women segregation in the society

I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say “because of you I didn’t give up.” I was born in America. Since my grandfather lives in America, my father brought my mother to be taken care of by my parents. Afterwards, I moved to Hong Kong with my parents, who were moving for job purposes. Although I understand the American culture, America and the Americans have always fascinated me. After coming back to America, I found it hard to get used to the American culture again. Though the American culture had changed since the last time I was there, I still found it fascinating. At first, I could not get along with my classmate in my former school. However, my social nature saw me talk with other people, which made it easier for me to settle after some few months.

The most memorable event in my life was when we moved out from Russia to a country that changes lives and is known as a dream land called the United States of America. When we sat on the airplane that was going toward the United States in August of 2004, we knew our lives are going to be changed in the way we always wanted them to. After twelve years of not going to school and being discriminated by Russian citizens, this moving to a new country was the most amazing, not just in my life generally, but for my entire family as well.

After completion of high school, I moved on to Barry University where I majored in the premedical sciences in pursuit of my ultimate goal of becoming a medical doctor. A career in medicine is the only goal I have had as a child since my dad handed me an anatomy atlas while in primary school. The task was daunting, but with hard work and many late nights I persevered. The experience of college developed my communication skills, exposed me to several cultures and helped me to mature as a leader.

religious persecution. America was a great place to travel to, because of its freedom of religion bill, which was passed in 1786. This bill allowed anyone to have the religion they desired, and also granted

Ha and the refugees that are immigrating to the U.S. where they are all hoping to flee from the war back home in Vietnam, the refugees do not know that they will encounter many challenges such as discrimination and bullying along the way to the american dream.Ha is being bullied at school and she claims that, “They pulled my arm hair, they threw rocks at me, they promised to stomp on my chest.”Lai, (151).Furthermore this explains how Ha is being bullied because she is different from the other children in the U.S. the author uses the example that they threw rocks at me to explain what they did to her. Furthermore the pilgrims had to go through a lot, “They had fled to America because of religious persecution in their homeland”Gevert (2). This

Immigrating to the United States from Belarus at a young age has helped me becoming the person I am today. When my family and I moved , none of us could speak a word of English other then yes , no , hello. We started living with my aunt who had recently moved a year ago, and from there my mother did everything she could to create the better life we moved here for.

Immigrating to America during the mid-1800s to the early-1900s was a very difficult and important change to an immigrant's life. Immigrants came to America because of political and religious issues, economic opportunities from the Great Plains, and employment. These reasons are called pull factors, these encouraged many immigrants from different countries to leave their homeland and travel to America. Immigrants also believed in the American Dream. The American Dream has many meanings, for the immigrants they believed that this was a pursuit of big opportunities and living a stable life. Immigrants also had terrible issues back at their homeland which gave them the motive to leave, these are called push factors. Some push factors were poverty,

Immigrating to the United States is not an easy task, but if you make it to the United States you will most likely have a better paying job then you did back home. When immigrating to the United States, there are two different ways that it can be done, either coming legally or illegally. No matter how you get to the United States, everyone has one goal in mind, which is getting a job and being successful. Americans assume that immigrants are coming to the United States to bring drugs, commit crimes, and take jobs from “hard working Americans”. Workagrating is essentially the people who come to the United States to work and build a better life for themselves and their families.

In the summer of 2013, my mother told me that I would be moving to the United States, for reasons that she didn’t disclose to me. In the Dominican Republic, children are raised to never question the decisions of their elders, so I did as I was told. Later, I understood that my parents knew that it didn’t matter how hard I worked in school, we would never have enough connections or money to find me a good job or for me to assist to a good university in my country.

“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists” ("Franklin D. Roosevelt").

Immigration laws in the United States should be adjusted so it is easier to migrate to the U.S. This is true because all human beings have a right to seek out a better life. For example, children in Central America are trying to migrate to the U.S. but immigration laws are preventing them from entering the country. In effect of this they are forced to hire guides or more commonly known as “coyotes” who help them illegally cross the border. When all they are trying to do is escape their terrible lives in Central America where they will most likely be forced to join a gang and sell drugs. But even then, some people want to create more barriers to keep immigrants out which is un-fair and just

mmigration occurred when people were forced to move to the United States for jobs, an example being the Irish. They came because their potato crop died which caused thousands of people to starve to death. However, they were not skilled and had to fill the low-wage jobs that none of the Americans wanted to work. The Irish were still thankful because they go to work and eat. The Irish were not the only ones to come. The Germans came additionally. They were opposite however, because they were skilled, so they got the jobs as craftsmen, farmers, and shoe keepers. But, the Americans hated them with a passion, because they told them that they were taking their jobs away, and for all the multiple crimes that kept happening in America. Americans also
