Reasons For Crossing The Border

People immigrate to the United States every year. I believe that immigration can be a good thing because it can help save foreign lives. It can help bring in jobs to people who are seeking a job. They can persuade us to develop different life styles, technologies, and boost American workers. That is why I believe having people immigrate to the US is a good thing. Immigration has been going on for many many years and will keep going on.

Many people are unaware of the heartbreak that takes place on our border in the south. Between the media and uneducated Americans, the immigration at the border needs to be addressed or our country will be overrun with illegals according to the news and social media. The true heart-breaking story cannot be told or our country would not stand for this inhuman behavior. There are many reasons for crossing the border illegally. For instance, women could be fleeing for their life, looking for freedom, wanting the chance to raise their family without the fear of abuse, or just because someone told them their life would be better if they could just get into the United States. Regardless the reason, everyone should at least be asked why they are willing to risk their life and their families lives to live in the United States?

Many of the undocumented immigrants have both successfully and unsuccessfully tried to find different ways to migrate into the United States. They have traveled by swimming across borders, driving, trafficking, from many underdeveloped countries around the world like Mexico, Cuba, Africa, and many others. Many have become part of such a vulnerable population because they have come to the United States to seek a better life for their families, the healthcare, job opportunities, as well as having been in the united states and staying past the time allowed on their visa.

Have you ever been forced to leave and explore the world? Well that's relatable, it's the only option left for the immigrants trying to blaze a trail to travel on safety. But people don't wanna risk getting hurt or trespassing into someone's land.

Illegal immigration has been a huge problem of United States for a long period of time. There are two common ways of how people come to US illegally; first is to cross the border between Mexico and US; second is to overstay when they come to US as a visitor. Why do people want to come to the United States if they are going to be here illegally? Simply, because those illegal immigrants want to have a better life than what they have back in their homeland; but the question here is why then did people come to the United States illegally if they are not getting any benefits? As I asked myself this question, my mind begun to think about the

Unauthorized immigrants in the United States of American border control has being a big problem and concern with regards to national security. There are a lot of people from various countries that want to migrate into United States for so many individual reasons known to them. The United States is a country known for countless jobs which other nations don’t have. A great number of immigrants, however, want to move away from their government reason because the government doesn’t treat them right just the way they want to be treated.

Imagine as a young Mexican woman citizen in her mid-twenties who is living in a horrible conditions in the Southern part of Mexico with no job and with four kids. She also has terrible sickness condition and doesn 't have any health care and insurance to take care of her and her children. The mother is thinking about to move from her current place to a much better place, U.S., but however, she has not filled out any legal documents to move to the United States of America. So then, she picked up everything she has and her kids, too. When she arrives at the national border of Mexico and United States, then she have to get across the border without anyone founds out, because she is not legally to do that, anyway.

What causes a person to leave their hometown, families, friends and everything they know to go on a deadly trip in hope of a better life. Well the poor living conditions, drug wars, kidnapins, and the hope of a better life leads people to take such a dangerous trip. In his book, Urrea provides a clear example of a small town in Veracruz Mexico and what causes may push people to begin a dangerous trip to the Unites States. Urrea describes: “In Veracruz, thing weren’t going well. The people were killing themselves working the ranchos on the outskirts. The fisherman couldn’t catch enough protein in the sea. The cane cutters couldn’t cut enough cane… But it was mostly the collapse of the coffee prices” (Urrea 44). In general, the whole economic system of these towns in Mexico has gone badly in the past years. People cannot survive fishing or growing coffee anymore like they used to in the past and the hope of a better life in the United States is their last option. Many of these people have never left their hometowns therefore they do not imagine what the world is like outside their towns. If these people do not know the life outside their towns, it is imaginable that they are not aware of the dangerous desert that waits for them in southern Arizona. That is the reason why so many people die in the desert is because they do

A 2009 Pew Global survey found that 57% of Mexicans believed they would have a better life if they came to the United States. The decision to cross the border is about more than simple economics, however. In “Deciding to Cross: Norms and Economics of Unauthorized Migration,” Dr. Emily Ryo points out that there are a variety of social factors that influence the decision to cross the border. For the immigrants that manage to illegally cross the border and build themselves a more sustainable life, it's a blessing, one family claimed they would have been poverty stricken their entire life if they hadn't crossed the border. Although the process of gaining citizenship is lengthy, it is better for the United States and for US citizens trying to get

Typically, most if not all undocumented immigrants cross the border between the US and Texas; the Rio Grande. That trip in and of itself is the second most dangerous immigrant journey second to the path taken by Syrian refugees, according to the Huffington Post, “Crossing the border is inherently dangerous...” (Huffington Post). The risks that these immigrants run are high, there is the risk of apprehension by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) which results in a criminal record and the registration of fingerprints and a ten year delay of entry into the country, there is the risk of death posed by inclement weather, the dangerous river currents, and the scorching heat of the desert and dry terrain, thirdly the threat that many gangs such as “Los Zetas” pose to those crossing and traveling through their turf near the border. Not to mention the cost, the trip is extremely costly and can range from as low as $1,000 to as high (but not limited to) $5,000 to hire a “Coyote” to arrange the trip and bring them across. Often times they are not guaranteed a safe crossing or even a crossing at all. If apprehended the family loses the money it paid and is deported back to Mexico within a couple of weeks. If this monstrous journey can be accomplished with a couple of scars and a few adrenaline filled

According to Pew Resource, 11 million unauthorized immigrants are living in the United States.
