The Importance Of Being An Immigrant In My Generation

People who have served in the military are the ones that have provided our nation with liberty and safety. They are the ones that took up arms in the World Wars, the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, and all other wars that this nation has been involved in. Many of the veterans of these wars have passed on by now, but those who are still on this Earth are held in reverence and viewed with honor. They were crucial to the continuation of our nation’s peace and unity. Imagine what America would be like without their bravery and sacrifices. Without veterans, there would be no “land of the free.” Without the World War I and II veterans, we would be living in a country, no, a world, where individuality and freedom would no longer exist. Without the veterans of the Civil War, the whole, united nation that we know today as America would not have been possible. Without the veterans of the American Revolution, there wouldn’t even be an America. The men and women that participated in these wars are heroes. They never gave up on this nation, whether they thought that they had a chance or not, and in many of these instances, they pulled through. Veterans never cease to be heroes, whether it be a time of peace or a time of war, whether they are alive, or they have passed on, and they will always be

I do not really know what brought about this outburst but as an immigrant of this country for many years, I am proud of the different cultures that has evolved from the day I first came here.

Our nation past was, well, not always perfect. Without some of our veterans, our country wouldn’t be as free as it is. Veterans continue to make our country a free country, which also makes it a better place to live in. Veterans stood up for our country; whether the ones forced to go during the draft, or the ones who voluntarily go. Whether the cause, they were always ready to go and fight for the people’s freedom. We really do see how great these people are, I mean, they risked their life for ours to be

Throughout US history, many wars and battles were fought that marked America. Fighting within those wars were brave soldiers, which to this day, we know as veterans. Veterans are important to our nation's history and future, as they have contributed to make America the great and prosperous nation that it is today. Veterans, along with other respected groups of people, deserve the nation's uttermost respect for all the contributions they have made to this country known as America.

Being first generation Mexican American to me is a title that comes with responsibility as well as an opportunity. Growing up, parents always preach to their eldest children that their actions have the consequences of impacting their younger siblings. I believe that as first generation Hispanics, it is our duty to build a strong foundation that later generations may build on. Whenever I think of being Hispanic, the word heritage comes to mind. In the frame of being an ethic minority in America, it is important for new generations to learn about their individual history and culture. As human beings we find comfort in what we are accustom too; For example I often get advice from friends living on their own saying “leaving home is the hardest

    It is important to remember how much of daily life is affected by the work of veterans. Walking on streets, going to school, eating at restaurants, and hanging out with friends all depend on the service of veterans. They may not receive the proper amount of recognition from the younger generations, but their work is appreciated. In actuality, they gained vital information that can be shared with the future generations. They have gained respect and honor for their duty for our

“Mom, will I ever be treated as a regular person? When will I be like the others without people look at me in a strange way and make fun of me, when mom? When?” Those were the questions I did to my mom almost every day after getting home from school. Fourteen years ago that my parents brought me to this country offering a better life with better opportunities than where I was born. I was seven years old when came to the United States, but I still remember the happiness I felt when I first step in this country. Throughout the years, I have realize that not everything is easy and simple as I imagined. My parents worked in the fields because of the lack of a social security and not knowing how to speak English. Many Americans do not know how hard it is the life of an immigrant, they should have a consideration for us and not just blame us for the deviance of the United States.

Immigration is one of the central themes of the founding of the United States and as such it is often the epicenter of controversy among both citizens and policymakers. Throughout the twentieth century, American citizens and policymakers have brought to the forefront the importance of immigration and the role immigrants play within society. This can be a cause of friction between immigrants and multi-generational citizens because immigrants are often viewed with a negative connotation. They are often blamed for stealing jobs from hardworking citizens, draining the healthcare system and adding to the homeless population. They are associated with crime, poverty and in general they are perceived as undesirable members of society (Spenkuch, 2014). The relationship between crime and immigrants is of particular importance because there is a common perception that immigrants cause crime and their neighborhoods are riddled with criminal activity. Also important to note is that the characteristics of immigrants tend to coincide with members of the native-born population that are disproportionally incarceration. In general, they are poorly educated, earn low wages and are young, males. This led to the perception that incoming immigrants continuously add to the lower class, criminal population. In order to clearly understand the relationship between the two concepts they must be examined both from a theoretical and empirical viewpoint

In America, Veterans were not always appreciated for their efforts in the military. Take the Vietnam war for example...instead of coming back to loving and open arms our military was shunned and highly disrespected due to their interference in the Vietnamese battle. Now we have learned to accept them for who they are and their contributions to keep America free. Veterans to me are the symbol of America’s success. They are proof of how strong our country is and how people are willing to die to keep us free.

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

It was the 11th, the day that we arrived. My dad and my sister had already made it, and it was really late. My flight landed, and so had 16 others. We off of the flight, and headed straight for immigration. Last time we came, immigration took 5 minutes, but this time, it took 45! After the long immigration process, we went to the baggage belt, where we couldn’t find our bags. While we were walking to go and file a complaint, we found one of our bags off of the baggage belt. Others took our bags off of the belt, so we went around the belt to find the bags. After we found the bags, we headed out of the airport. It was 4 am, and as soon as we got home, we went to sleep. We got up at about nine and got ready to go to my aunt and uncle’s 25th anniversary

America’s Gift to my generation, when I think of that statement I think about how grateful I am to live in this amazing country. This country has so many images red, white and blue. From the skyline of New York City to the hills of tennessee the traditions in Chicago. The pride in Los Angeles. Cross Country to Washington D.C to the National Archives building. The building of tradition, pride, joy and most of all freedom. America’s Gift to my generation we take for granted all the opportunities we have.

We can set our destiny, we can move beyond the social classes that we have been born into. We choose whether we do great things how we live is lived is up to us it is a freedom granted to you by the government. We create our own business, we aren't told what we can and can’t do. We can practice whatever religion we want unlike in other countries where you could die for practicing a separate religion. Whether you practice Christianity catholicism Muslim or if you're an atheist, you're free to believe

Everyone always asks themselves what it means to be an American. Being an American could mean different thing such as Freedom of speech, and liberty. The first thing that come in mind when asking ourselves about becoming an American citizen is the freedom of speech. For example, in this country we could say whatever we want because the First Amendment gives us the right to speak our minds freely this amendment also gives the Mainstream news media to report the news freely no matter if it is fake news or not this is one of the reasons why America is a great country, and it is also one of the reasons why I am proud to be an American. Another reason, why I am proud to be an American citizen

The Federal government have many resources to help a business stay open , so it can help the U.S. economy. There are many ways the U.S. government can help business from reducing taxes or reducing barriers. One thing I find that the government can do to help business and the economy is immigration reform for immigrants that are trying to open up businesses so they can provide for their family. Based on the White House website, it shows that immigrants are 30% more likely to start a business in the U.S. that non-native immigrants and 18% of all small business owners in the U.S. are immigrants. And these same small businesses are providing employment to the population which helps reduce the employment rate and also benefits the economy. According
