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.
Before the twentieth century, both individuals and families could migrate to the U.S. without any restrictions, which means that illegal immigration was not a problem at that time. In 1921, restrictive immigration quotas were presented on a temporary basis which was later expanded and made permanent in 1924. However, even with the new limitations, citizens of the Western Hemisphere countries immigrated outside of the quotas
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.
Most people in the United States have an incorrect idea of who immigrants are. Migration is traveling from one place to another. People emigrate because they face push factors like poor economy, Lack of freedom of speech, press, etc or bad climate. people who migrate to a country are exposed to pull factors like opportunities, Freedom of speech, press, etc and good climate. Most people that come to the United States are children, Females and people coming from central America.
I faced academic adversity when I moved to the United States in July 2010. I failed to enroll at the University of Colorado in the fall of 2010 because of lack of sufficient funds. I tried to process loans but could not process any loans because I didn’t have a Permanent Resident status at that time. I had no family or close friends that I could borrow money from since I had just moved to the United States. My desire to accomplish my goal led me to start looking for ways to pay for college. I had the drive, determination, patience and a positive attitude so; I started collecting enough funds by working several jobs. A year later, I enrolled into the university and could only afford to register for a three credit hour class. I was persistent
Proceeding to a different country is in, step forward to your life, but it can also be different from your original habits. If I were to travel to a different country, I would move to England for its good community. In that location would be trials for me to overcome my different habitats. Becoming a citizen will be a struggle to adjust to but it's not impossible to surmount.
According to statistics and the U.S Government, while immigration has its “glory days”, it also comes with many issues for the United States. It can lead to many problems dealing with education, jobs, financial crisis, and American society. Immigration does more harm than good for America and it should be put to a stop.
I never in my life did expect one day to write an essay for the Spanish Travel Scholarship and to write it in English! Fifteen year ago I was a typical Italian architecture student who, beyond doubt, had not yet established her role in the local, national, and global community, or her purpose in life. I spent my college years making my parents proud, and fulfilling teachers’ expectations. Nevertheless architecture wasn’t my college decision. It was my dad’s dream. When I was six years of age, he lost his engineering firm because of a stroke. He reinvented himself various times, after the stroke, but he has never been able to rebuild his engineering firm from the ashes. My architecture degree was his last opportunity to reopen his beloved
While I was growing up, I lived in many places. I was born in Budapest, Hungary and lived there until my father finished his medical degree when I was two years old. Soon after, for financial reasons, my family and I moved to the United States. First we lived in Missouri for five years, next we moved to North Carolina to be closer to our family. Periodically we returned to Hungary to visit relatives. With each visit, I learned more and more about Hungary, the language, and European culture. Luckily my mother had the wisdom to take my brothers and I back to Hungary to do a year of schooling there. That single year expanded my perspective of the world, it was no longer the United States as a separate entity from the rest of the world, but it
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.
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
I had always dreamed to study in the United States of America since it is an extreme case to a lot of people around the world to have a chance to earn education the USA. I am fortunate to have this chance and I value that extremely. I had many challenges and barriers when I decided to come here to the States but I was very focused to earn a degree from here and I over came them in order to make my dream comes true. When I came here moving with my family to attend college that was the hardest part of moving away from my parents and other members of the family and friends. Back home, I was always known as a very social active person among women groups. I used to participate a lot in women clubs and activities due to women segregation in the society
Many white immigrants such as Irish, Germans, Italians and the Scottish, just to name a few, have become part of the “white race”. Originally, these distinct ethnic groups all had their own identity, in a sense. All of these groups, just like other “inferior races”, faced oppression and challenges that made them comparable to the black Americans or any other people of color. However, when these groups began to migrate to the United States, they had an opportunity to become part of the “superior race” to become that which had oppressed them and instead of being oppressed they could be the oppressors. When these European decedents began to immigrate to the United States, they were faced with a significant proposition: a low economic status in
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

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.

They would all sit together and just dream of being rich and living in a house, or
