I am immigrant because I wanted better opportunities to provide for myself and my family. However, what about Connie Young Yu’s grandmother or Mexican immigrants? What brought the immigrants here? Each immigration has a different purpose in order to come California, but as Richard Rodriguez and Conni Young Yu describes in their section, getting to the place that is a land of immigrants is not always easy.

Grandma claims that people are not as nice as they used to be a long time ago "Certainly people are not as nice as the used to be." Grandma, however, claims that Red Sam was a good man when he does a good action against some boys "Because you are a good man!" says Grandma. Red Sammy believes that nowadays it is almost impossible to find a good man. He remembers the old days that there was security but not anymore, “A good man is hard to find. Everything is getting terrible. I remember the days you could go off and leave your screen door unlatched. Not no more" This shows how the world had changed over time. People had ignored their earlier principles and care for one another and had allowed animosity to get in their path.
