After the February revolution on 1917 which saw the abdication of the Tsar, Russia was in turmoil. It had gone (in a matter of days) from being one of the most

Between 1870 and the 1990s, over 11 million immigrants came to America in search of a better a life, coming from Southern and Eastern Europe such as Germany, France, Ireland, and immigrants from China as well. People came to America seeking sanctuary from their home land that did not allow them to be free, such as the Jewish people of Russia, who came to America because the Russian government was anti-Semitic. Jewish people were not allowed to have much property or security in Russia, simply because of their religion. In addition, the draft in Russia would take people away and force them to fight for 25 years, in wars that were pointless due to outdated weapons as well as the brutal discipline they were treated with when drafted. America was a place that allowed freedom of religion, something that was not common and many other countries, making America the ideal place to move and settle down, allowing immigrants to express their religion freely, without the consequences they faced back home. Immigrants also came to America in search of jobs that were scarce in Europe. Many small farmers were put out of jobs in Europe due to large scale mechanized

The people saw a time of unification and of increased economic profits.  For about 175 years, the Russian Empire experienced a little bit of everything, from Industrialization to revolutions, to social changes, to numerous wars. At the beginning of this time period, the Russians found themselves struggling with some of the most basic things the rest of Europe had--roads.  Russia had been lacking the infrastructure to connect its' large territory, and help bridge the gaps between the people in the empire.  Not only that, but after all of the famines and other difficulties Russia was having, there was a large migration into urban areas, leaving many places along the countryside to fend for themselves.  And the peasants in these areas were often burdened with such heavy taxes, they could not afford to feed their own family, let alone get to a market in an attempt to make a

When looking at culture, one cannot help but wonder about aspects that are not familiar to themselves. Substance abuse rates are on the rise and this is included when looking at the culture, background, history, and modern day influences of a Russian-American citizens. Life is focused not only on oneself, but family, friends and the community in a certain area. Russian-American citizens are a part of the American society and will always have a history fixated from the Russian lifestyle.

Although America was built upon immigrants, American citizens had varying degrees of toleration of new immigrants. America was seen as a place of opportunity and freedom which led many travel to America to better their own lives.

When immigrants are coming into the United States they are leaving a country and culture that they have lived in most of their lives. Learning about a new society, language barriers, living and working among strangers, and coping with their hardships are some struggles that immigrants face. However, because the United States does have a great diversity, there are many groups of people that can help with the adjustments. According to American Progress, there were 13.5% of the population that were immigrants in 2015. These people with very little skills come to the United States for a better work experience and to be able to pursuit their American Dream. According to the article “Immigration is good for the U.S economy” written by A. Barton Hinkle

Every year there are thousands of immigrants that come to the United States for a myriad of reasons. Many, if not all, come to cash in the promise the U.S assures, the promise of a chance at unconditional acceptance, improved lifestyle, and unified beliefs. All those things is what America offers, and thousands definitely take that offer.

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

Connor Driscoll was seventeen year old man that lives in London, United Kingdom with his two parents, Kelly and Ryan Driscoll. Kelly was sixty-five years old and Ryan is sixty seven years old. Connor and his family were very poor, so poor that they were lucky if they had enough money by the end of the day to have something to eat. Connor and his family lived in a small alleyway in London. Each of them has a job. Kelly and Connor both worked at a factory; meanwhile Ryan worked as a railroad lyre.

My family and I have gone through many hardships, and one of them has been my little brother’s illness. He requires a lot of attention and in Mexico he was unable to get the treatment he needed.

He has been hospitalized many times for several days. Sometimes, it has been for several weeks and my mother could not attend work, so she may stay with my brother to take care of him. When I arrived here to the U.S.,

It is the land where people from anywhere around the world can start a “new life” with an equal chance of succeeding of failing. The economic difficulties, the wars and the hunger have brought millions of either legal or illegal immigrants to the States.
