    Every year, even in the 1800s, hundreds of immigrants come into the United States looking for something they needed. Immigrants went through many hard times and had to give up a lot to get what they thought of as the life they wanted for themselves and their families. They found out what being an immigrant was like, faced push and pull factors, and found out how hard it was to get into the Unite States and become a citizen. What it’s like making it as an immigrant in the United States is a lot different that you would think. Many stories are told from an immigrant’s point of view and I find it shocking, “He [a labor boss] gave us very little money, and our clothes were some of those that were found on the street…”…

    Everything happens for a reason I lived my whole life in Mexico a place where you can meet good friends and, most of them people don’t have nothing not even a dime on them, but they are very humble. I won’t deny that Mexico is also a country where there is so much evil where even walking down the street you can feel yourself unprotected from their own people and the government itself, but nevertheless Mexico is like a playground where you can spend all your time having fun. To succeed in Mexico is very difficult because it firmly depends on two things, time and place, if you don’t have at least one of them your probabilities of success are low. My conflict arises when I had to choose between a better life which was coming to the US and what at the time was my current which was pretty much my whole life, friends, education, etcetera. “Everything happens for a reason” my dad always says, so in order to be successful I had to face the adversities of life and see whether if my current life was better for me or the future life that was waiting for me somewhere else.…

For example, chapter 3 states that Mexico in 36 years Mexico had 48 different governments, which ended up harming Mexico’s economic growth in many negative ways. In terms of inequality, land was given to the people who had privilege and most importantly, American investments had the privilege to obtain land and an open door to other resources such as mines and ranches. Furthermore, chapter 3 mentions that in some occasions, poor people used to get land, but this individuals did not have the money or the necessary resources to cultivate and growth products such as corn, bean rice and other products…
