Based on the statistic data in 2013, “ In 2013, approximately 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States, an all-time high for a nation historically built on immigration.” (From the Migration Policy Institute From this data). From this statistic data, it demonstrates that it’s popular for people choosing immigrant to United States because they have more work chances in U.S and enjoy preferable welfare than in their own countries. However, others will treat them differently because they speak with the broken English. The author Amy tan reflects this phenomenon by writing an article called Mother Tongue.

For example, in the tenth paragraph, Tan indicates “ One time it was a call to her stock-broker in New York. She has cashed out her small portfolio and it just so happened we were going to go to New York the next week.” Tan use the specific example to demonstrate her mother treated unequal by the stockbroker and convey the anger and sympathy emotion to the audience. The audience feels sympathy Mr. Tan deceived by the stockbroker and anger with the stockbroker. Like the Tan, authors Chou and Feagin also describe the phenomenon about American discriminate the Asian immigrant. They declare “ Bari, a South Asian International student who has been in the United States for some year…He was riding along a road on the edge of major university campus when two white men drove by and assaulted him “I was riding my bike until he came in big white van and hit me with a baseball bat and took off.” Also, as I am the audience, I feel the sympathy to the boy with him bad experience.
