IMMAGRATION
In my own words an immigrant is someone who is born in one country and moves to another. People (the immigrants) often immigrate to America from Europe and other places like Mexico and Australia. But if you look at reality people, who live in America at least have someone in there family who has immigrated from another place, because that is what America is made up of, different cultures. My connection to immigration is my great grandparents (my maternal grandfather’s parents) who came from Ireland in 1906. Which makes me one-fourth Irish. Unfortunately they are both deceased. At my moms work there is a person she works with and he is from Brazil. He immigrated from there a long while ago. And also my friend Kimberly from HTM who came from Columbia. I feel that so many immigrants come to the United States because we have freedom like no other country, and in most other countries people don’t have as much opportunity as we do. In other countries their freedom means like being able to earn maybe a dollar a day and sometimes less. When people come from other places they try to do other things in order to make money and live. Many of them send money back to their families they left behind. For example when people come from Greece they often open up Greek restaurants. And when people come from other places they continue their culture, so we have a new restaurant or a store that is made up of their country and what they believe in.
