The Importance Of Migration To The US

Immigrating to America, no matter where you are coming from, has its fair share of trials and tribulations. Immigrants have to go through weeks of traveling to finally get to America and then completely rebuild their lives in this new country. While most immigrants went through similar experiences when migrating to America, , such as, traveling by sea, fighting illness, and enduring medical checkups upon arrival in Ellis Island, their ultimate reasons for leaving their home country varied, by economics, politics, or warfare.

During the Great War, industrial cities in the North and Midwest profited greatly. However due to white men enlisting in World War I and the United States government halt on immigration from Europe, these industrial cities experienced severe labor shortages. To fulfill these job shortages, northern manufacturers recruited throughout the South causing what is known as The Great Migration, where at least 500,000 African-Americans moved from the South to Northern and Midwestern cities.

The amount of anger I have right now from reading this comment is terrifying. Migrating to America for many people is a way to start fresh, it's a way for them to give a life to their kids that they couldn't have, it's a way for people to uncover talents that they feared to discover back home. For many people America provided peaceful sleep, something many couldn't have back at home because of the amount of stress they had carried on their shoulders. America is truly a paradise for many people including me and my family, America provided us with a clear mind set, a peaceful environment and a better future for my brother and me. It's very sad to see how American see the world. They totally ignore reality because reality for them is getting drunk

Jose advices people who are thinking to immigrate in the United States that they should because of the opportunities, but to work hard and accomplish the goal they are coming for. For example if they come because of poverty then they need to make sure they accomplish something that will help their family back home. Because, why will you leave your family to immigrate to a new country and in the end do not do anything to make a change or impact in your family.

I come from the small island of Cuba; I was born and raised there as did my parents and my grandparents. When I was ten and we moved to the United States I didn’t think much of it, in my mind I was still Cuban and living in another country would not change my childhood thoughts. While growing up in the U.S. it seemed that whenever an immigrant issue came about all immigrants from all parts of the world had to stand behind it no matter what it was no matter if beneficial or troublesome. I used to think that these actions were justified because all immigrants had to stand up for each other otherwise nobody would.

On October 22, 2001 my parents made the sacrificial decision of moving to the United States in hopes of providing a brighter future for my brother and I. Coming from a country where education and healthcare were not considered a right, but rather a privilege, I have had the misfortune of witnessing the discernible impact that detrimental poverty has on the overall health of a population. That being said, from very early on I promised myself to never take advantage of the sacrifices my parents have endured, the freedom I have attained, and the education I have received.

Approximately one million Mexicans migrated to the United States during 1900 and 1920 according to the historian Rodolfo F. Acuna whose book, “Occupied America: A History of Chicanos,” this essay conceptualizes its thesis. By 1920, Mexicans accounted for more than 10 percent of all immigrants in the United States. In 1800 census the Mexican population in Texas was 43,000, in contrast, the 1900 census placed the number at approximately 165,000. Interestingly, the number of Mexicans, both American-born, and immigrants, were more than the Euro-American population in some counties, for example, they comprised 55.5 percent in El Paso County (Acuna 77). The high number of Mexican immigrants to the United States was a combination of pull and push events. After the 1910 Revolution, economic happenings in Mexico stirred the immigration to the United States. Push factors which further accelerated immigration arose from the limited economic prospects after the revolution. Before 1900, events such as the Railroad networks in 1880, the racist

Immigrants today are becoming homeowners at a faster rate than than the U.S born population(Nicholson). An immigrant is a foreign born man or woman who comes to a new country to live in permanently. Immigrants coming to the U.S has been debated for years on whether is should be legal. Immigrants have shown promise in the working force and protecting our country as well as in the American society which shows their value to the United States.

If your next-door neighbors were sitting in the rain and hungry would you put a roof over their head and feed them before your own family and children? Then why is the U.S. doing it for legal and illegal immigrants? Until every U.S citizen has a roof over their head and food in their stomach immigration should be limited. There are too many of our resources going to immigrants that should be used for U.S. citizens first, like housing, medical, food and many others. Over the past decade immigration into the U.S. has been on the constant rise making it harder for American’s to get the help and resources that they need and deserve. Immigrants are willing to work for less and under the table making it harder for American’s to find jobs, the use

There are many reasons as to why people from other countries decide to make a journey to America. Some immigrants flee to the united states in an attempt to escape persecution, find economic prosperity, and to seek a new life that is filled with opportunities that would have been virtually impossible in their homeland. Others are escaping oppressive regimes or natural disasters that have ravaged their country. America’s reputation for being the “land of opportunity” filled with endless land just waiting to be claimed, plentiful jobs, and tolerance for all peoples has made the country a beacon for the “huddled masses”. Throughout America’s history immigrants have poured in from nations all over the world, but the most memorable waves of

Immigrants are a major part of the society. Having immigrants is what makes our community what it is today. Thanks to immigration, we have all the things we do today. Immigrants assisted in building this country, by emigrating from their former home in this new land. They left everything behind in their old country, in order to improve their lives for themselves and for their future kids. The United States stands to benefit economically, socially, and politically by having immigrants from all around the world.

We all end up everywhere for a reason, my family not so much. My mother is the one that is holder of my family's history, she came here after my grandma did. My grandmother took all her children except my mother. My grandma was jealous of my mom because her dad liked her and my grandma grew hate and hated my mom so she left her. When my mother grew up she left Puerto Rico. She got her papers together and went to school and then decided it was time to come to America. My grandma helped her settle and so did her other family. She met my dad because of my grandma and they had each other only so they fell in love and made a family. My mom is not alive right now but I asked her how immigrating to America was. She loved every moment she said. My father took her

Throughout history migration to the US has always been popular. The country has made a nation of immigrants that fled from Europe for many reasons like political, religious, and economic reasons. Migration is the only reason why the United States was even founded. As President Obama states in his address to the Nation on Immigration, “For more than 200 years, our tradition of welcoming immigrants from around the world has given us a tremendous advantage over other nations. It’s kept us youthful, dynamic, and entrepreneurial. It has shaped our character as a people with limitless possibilities –- people not trapped by our past, but able to remake ourselves as we choose.” Many US citizens have been told that these immigrants do not help the economy at all and that they only bring harm to the United States. But do the immigrants really bring danger to the country or is it just the citizen’s ignorance and society telling them they do. How should we go about the immigration situation? Mexicans leave the country and come to the USA because they see better life and opportunity there. They leave for many reasons which include, drug cartels/crimes, poverty, and the education in Mexico is what makes them want to leave their country. But in this day in age there are already a lot of Mexicans that are in the USA illegally. Many of these Mexicans have put in so much work to build buildings and roads that are used in America every day. What can the USA do to something that’ll help the

Many people leave their home country because they want a better life for them and their children. They should have the freedom to move in and out of a country. Many countries these days have too much violence and so much discrimination and many want a break from that.

The relationship between the United States and Central America as a region has been affected by a heavy flow of migration for decades. While the decision to immigrate itself impacts the individuals, their families and the greater economies of both regions, there are many factors that can motivate the individual from Central America to immigrate to the United States. Central America as a region has a specific set of characteristics that can force some individuals out of their homeland. These are sometimes called push factors. Likewise, the United States can offer more opportunity which draws the individual and sometimes whole families out of their native country. These are also known as pull factors. The concept just described is called the
