I have interviewed two individuals, who came to the U.S. from other countries. The first person is Anzhelika or I. I moved to the America from Ukraine a few years ago. When I first came here, I did not feel confident in myself. My English was not good enough, as I thought, to use it for communication with other people. Even though, I liked almost everything about the United States.…
Hi Mercedes. I've mentioned this in my other replies that I'm noticing a theme about the reasons as to why people from different countries migrated to the United States. It seems to be the common theme that people came here for new opportunities. It's interesting that this reason is shared amongst people from so many different cultures. The United States is painted as the land of opportunity.…
The United States of America is notorious for being a land where opportunities abound and dreams come true. It is common to hear stories of great Americans who ascended from the clutches of poverty and amassed great wealth, because they had a dream and pursued it. They did not allow their circumstances, no matter how daunting, to overshadow their ambitions of success. Richard Ira…
There are critical dates in United States immigration. Initially, United States immigration law was the Naturalization Act of 1790. The Naturalization Act determined that "any outsider, being a free white individual, might be confessed to wind up a US citizen". In 1875, the Supreme Court decided that the Federal Government is in charge of managing US immigration. Then there was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which barred certain laborers from immigrating to the United States.…
Living in America, you tend to pick up things that might be uncommon to you because of where you come from. At the time that you can't even afford the things that you wanted. Growing up in the Philippines, my family struggled with financial issues, most of the things that I had were hand-me-downs. Living that kind of life taught me to not be too wasteful and don't throw it out if it's not completely empty. When my family arrived in the United States I was eight years old and was also very excited because it was a new start for us.…
Tasha Robertson Professor R. Salter December 8, 2016 Healthcare Strategies Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants For many people around the world, immigration to the United States is just a dream and those who make it still have many obstacles that they have to face. Those who have already illegally immigrated to the United States have found the dream. Many illegal immigrants dislike the label but unfortunately that is what they are. When an immigrant enters the country without permission from the American government that immigrant is illegal.…
Many people characterize their home as safe, secure, or at least comforting. My home was a bit … different. After leaving their home in Nigeria, my parents had to jump from home to home constantly moving me and my family until they could learn how to properly settle in America. My parents were very caring and helpful and kept trying to move us to places where we would have a chance at success. When we finally settled their seemed to only be one logical thing to do... help other immigrants settle here!…
Going to a new school is hard for any child; unfamiliar places can be intimidating, new people can be unapproachable and the more advanced classes may even seem impossible. It is a very big social change that forces children to get out of their comfort zone and let new people into their personal bubble, because after all no one wants to be completely alone in this scary, dark world: everybody wants to belong. Fitting in can be more difficult if the child does not speak the same language as the people around them. Making friends and communicating becomes almost impossible until the child learns the language that they have been submerged into.…
There are many reasons why people immigrated to the United State, as such higher economic jobs, better life, and liberty and safety. They wanted to be in a free country where they would feel safe and not worry about being in their home. A lot of Americans feared the immigrants coming to America because they did not want people taking their jobs. President John F. Kennedy said that. “Our attitude towards immigration reflects our faith in the American ideal.…
Immigration play a big roll in America's history. The united state has grown so much since the 1700s because of million of new immigrants who move to united states every year. There has been some differences where a different set of race is treated different because of the American's belief. For example, mu-slum where hated because of terrorism that has been going on. Just like what was going on with all the Isis issues in Europe.…

Immigration has been the bane if this country since its founding. The faces of the immigrants has changed over time but the issue remains the same. What do we do with these immigrants seeking a better life? How do we protect the citizens of this country and most importantly their jobs? How many immigrants do we let in before we say that is enough?…

It’s very hard to move to a different country and live in place where you don't know anyone. Leaving everything behind that has so much memories is very painful. But for the sake of my siblings and me my parents decided to come to US. When I was 14 years old I moved to US with my family from Bangladesh. I didn't wanted to come; I was a kid, no one care about my opinion.…
The requirement for citizenship and the tests (for the most part) are fair. Citizenship is an important thing to have. It means you have a home. It gives you an identity such as in the case of the United States, ? a U.S. citizen?…
