My Time At The United States

I’m an immigrant. I was born in Mexico and it was only until my parents decided to come to the United States that I am where I am. My mother tried to cross the border to come to the United States for the first time when I was still in her womb all by herself as my father was already in the Unites States working in order to provide for her in the way that he wasn’t able to do so by staying in Mexico. My mother was caught by immigration and was sent back. My mother was very disappointed because she knew that if she didn’t get me to the United States some way or another I wouldn’t get very far in life by staying in Mexico. My father returned back to Mexico when I was born and it wasn’t until I was 4 years old that they decided to try to cross the border once again. Although I was only 4 years old I remember the whole experience as if it was yesterday. The amount of fear of getting caught by immigration and having done everything for nothing was always in the back of my mind while going through the whole experience. Up to this day nothing has ever been as terrifying and nerve-wrecking as having to go through that whole experience especially for a 4 year old child but I will forever be grateful for the bravery and strength that my parents had to gather in

Whether it is to feel the sense of freedom or to just start over, immigrants from all over the world come to America seeking all possible opportunities for a

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

I was born and raised in the United States but my family was not born here, they came from an area south of Los Angeles, Mexico. In the border between the United States and Mexico, many immigrants have lost their lives attempting to achieve their promise dream. Many immigrants who cross the border pursue the American Dream. My family was one of the many immigrant families who attempted and fortunately succeeded in crossing over the border. My father’s family originated from Guadalajara, Jalisco, México. Many families just like mine risked their lives attempting to not only get to the border, but to cross it as well. My family did not differ much from the other immigrant families who sought to achieve economic stability and prosperity here

My Parents both migrated from mexico. My mom is from Morelos and my dad is from Jalisco mexcio. My brother and I were born in California. My Mom Moved to the United sates when she was about 17 years old. My dad moved to the United states when he was about 10 years old.

My dad moved to the United States at a very young age. He crossed the border illegally many times trying to pursue the American dream, but despite of all the failures he never gave up. On the other hand, my mom moved here with a visa after marrying my dad. Both of them struggled to survive, especially since their lifestyle was completely different.

People from all over the world come to America for many reasons; for instance, most of illegal and legal immigrant come to this country for a better life and to reunite with family that live in the

I am a second generation Mexican-American and the last of seven children. My siblings and I were born and raised here in the United States with a mix of Mexican and American values. Our parents migrated to the U.S. at an early age in search of the American dream. Both my mother and father left their families in Mexico to start a better life for themselves and their future children.

My grandma was a single mother raising three kids in Mexico. My mom being one of those kids as well. My grandma wanted a better life for her children and herself, so she had to make the ultimate sacrifice which was leaving my uncle, aunt, and my mom with their grandparents in Mexico for almost six years. She crossed the border illegally by hiding in the motor of a car. They had to customize the car so she can fit and lie down in a “U” shape for almost three days without food or water and endured the blazing heat and freezing temperatures the desert provided. She had wires constantly electrocuting her and was dying to have a sip of water. At last when she made it into the United States, the people that helped her over here allowed her to stay

Many people hope to change their lives for the best.So many take the chance and move to another countryleaving everything behind, with or without their whole family.Just to find a way to give themselves, or their families a better life.Immigration happens everywhere wheather you know about it or not, even if you dont care about its happening.But sometimes its not easy because it can affect a lot of things around us.Although it doesn't affect everyone, immigration should be talked about because, it causes a change in the economy,population,and families.

The Sino-Japanese War was an event that shook the structure of East Asia’s traditional world order, one that for more than 2000 years had centered around China and its civilization. The war didn’t just take away China’s centrality, it was also the catalyst for Japan’s transformation into an imperialist power.

My parents did not come to San Diego with a lot of money, they only had ten million dong when they came, which to me sounded like a lot but my mom laughed and told me it was a thousand dollars in the U.S. For my parents, this meant they would go homeless in two months if one of them did not find any sort of work. For the first month, it was very difficult for them to find a job because they did not know how to find one. My mother would tell me how my father was a very strong man and yet no one would hire him because he would not know what to say during the interview. My mother would tell me how there were many nights she would fall asleep crying because she would think back to Vietnam when she was with her family and friends, where she did not feel limited or restricted by anything but money, and how now that she was here in San Diego, it was not only money but also her opportunity to socialize and communicate with many of the people around her. Even with my father by her side, she felt helpless and excluded from the community, like she no longer had a voice. Fortunately, near the end of the first month, one of the Vietnamese neighbors actually noticed my parents and greeted them. This man had a family and welcomed my parents greatly. He even helped my father find a job and get access to government services such as rent assistance, Medi-Cal and Food Stamps. Many immigrants share the same experiences my parents

Many make the dangerous and risky trip to coming to America. But in the end, do the hardships of immigrating outweigh the success? Immigrants face many privations that ends up making immigrating unsuccessful. Countless immigrants leave their home country to come to the United States in a journey that is ultimately not worthwhile, because immigrants must reinvent themselves, face harsh prejudice against them, and struggle to fit in with society.

My family lives here in the US we are all proud to be citizens of this country even with flaws of its own. My father actually went on a journey from Mexico to US with my mother across the border. The reason being was that my father wanted my brother to have a chance at a good life in America where at the time hopes and dreams were made to be possible. He had difficulty getting to the border with many obstacles standing in the way of fate but my father didn 't give up. with his perseverance he kept forward despite my mother 's desire to give up but my father knew the only chance
