Though limited, there are endless outcomes that come with having little information. Such as gathering ideas to become more understanding with the simple statements. Being in a class with just 15 students, managed to make me experience such a worldly feeling. While sitting, clueless and intrigued, listening to multiple of my classmates limited stories about migrating to America; did I later, began to complement the troubles and frustrations of those who migrated only a few years ago. Unfortunately, with only about an hour to spare, was it difficult to understand the specific situations of my classmates. Many of the people who migrate to different countries, encounter many issues when trying to adapt. Even with limited information, the difficultly…
Progressing through the 1800’s to the turn of the nineteenth century, there were dramatic social and societal changes marking a new path for the future of America. The population increased by millions as more and more immigrants sought new lifestyles to match the luxurious ones Americans were rumored to have, due to their industrial, democratic system. Through the eyes of both Americans, and those of foreign soils, America, particularly between the years 1870 to 1900, was a land of endless opportunities that seemed to constantly be growing both economically and socially. In this time, titled the Gilded Age, the population reached towering numbers as the U.S. transformed.…
With any move, people change because of the potential of a fresh start to be who they want to be. The migrants from the South became “Americanized” after the move due to the exposure of drugs, over crowdedness of the city sectors they were forced into, gangs, and prostitution. Ida Mae, George, and Robert were affected by the Northern ways in some aspect whether it was themselves or their children they had so desperately wanted to give a better life to. All three of them were forced to deal with whatever the North threw at them in terms of street temptations.…
Franklin D Roosevelt said “Here they found life because here there was freedom to live.’’ This basically means when immigrants come to America they get excited for their future because America promises freedom, adventure, opportunity, and a chance to experience the beauty of America. Immigrants come to America for a new life and a better future.…

In the USA xenophobic fears against the alleged "Yellow Peril" led to the implementation of the Page Act of 1875, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, expanded ten years later by the Geary Act. The Chinese Exclusion Act replaced the Burlingame Treaty ratified in 1868, which encouraged Chinese immigration, provided that "citizens of the United States in China of every religious persuasion and Chinese subjects in the United States shall enjoy entire liberty of conscience and shall be exempt from all disability or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship in either country" and granted certain privileges to citizens of either country residing in the other, withholding, however, the right of naturalization. The Immigration Act of 1917 then created an "Asian Barred Zone" under nativist influence. The Cable Act of 1922 guaranteed independent female citizenship only to women who were married to "alien[s] eligible to naturalization".[5] At the time of the law's passage, Asian aliens were not considered to be racially eligible for U.S. citizenship.[6][7] As such, the Cable Act only partially reversed previous policies, granting independent female citizenship only to women who married non-Asians. The Cable Act effectively revoked the U.S. citizenship of any woman who married an Asian alien. The National Origins Quota of 1924 also included a reference aimed against Japanese citizens, who were ineligible for naturalization and could not either be accepted on U.S. territory. In 1922, a Japanese citizen attempted to demonstrate that the Japanese were members of the "white race", and, as such, eligible for naturalization. This was denied by the Supreme Court in Takao Ozawa v. United States, who judged that Japanese were not members of the "Caucasian race".…
I think immigrants play an important role in America. They help build and strengthen America's economy. Immigrants help the economy by creating their own jobs. They work in all types of occupations. They are teachers, scientists, engineers, and construction workers. Every immigrant creates 1.2 local jobs for local workers, raises wages for native workers, and attracts native-born workers from elsewhere in the country. Overall, immigrants improve economy by creating their own business or working in difficult construction places. In addition to improving America’s economy, immigrants make the country more open-minded to new possibilities. America have diverse populations with different beliefs and culture. This means that opinions aren't limited…
Per the Immigration policy, regarding the deportation this issue was not systematically address at the time the policy was implemented. Neither was humanity considered when implementing this policy. Immigrates migrated from their country to the United States of America so they could provide a more stable environment for their family. The immigrants have helped form America into the great melting pot. The federal government allowed the migration of immigrates into our country for many years, so that our country could increase in population. Per the United States Center for Immigration, our country has the most open immigration policy in the world. After the Civil War, all the states started to implement the Immigration policies. That…
There has been a lot said about the reasons why people immigrate to America, individuals come here in hopes to make a better life for themselves and their existing or future family. They fall in love with the unwavering freedom that they have to choose. The word choice is a word often at a premium for citizens of some of the world’s countries. Everything from being told what to watch to being told who to marry. In America choices are freely made without the worry of consequences. People say, “So what, I made the decision I made. It does not affect anyone but me, so what’s the problem?” Well in one major way, there are choices that people make that truly affect others. What I am referring to is the choice that was made possible by a 1973 US…
America was built on immigration; Europeans came to America in search of a new life and the rest of the world followed. People came to America for all different reasons: to flee war, to escape oppression, to have a voice in the government, to worship freely, and to leave poverty behind. Little has changed in the past five hundred years; people are still coming to America in search of a new life. According to a Gallup survey reported by Jon Clifton between 2007 and 2012, 150 million adults wish to move to America. This number is 23% of the total 640 million who want to leave their country permanently (Clifton).…
The most important time in history for me was moving to a new country from my homeland, India. I could still remember that feeling I had experienced when my father had told me we were moving to America. I was devastated and enlightened at that time. I knew it was a bad idea right of the batch because I was already in 9th grade, I had all of my friends, family and my life planed. I could not bear the fact that I will no longer be able to see my friends and go to the same school.…
In the United States we have more relaxed laws when it comes to visiting the U.S, but there aren’t strict laws about leaving the U.S. after visiting. Some people come to the U.S. “visiting” so that they can live here and work towards getting citizenship. That is why we should strengthen our border protection and security, but make it easier to become a citizen legally. That way we can regulate who is coming to the U.S. and know when they leave.…
People often say things about how the United States, with its revolutionary political and economic system, must have been around for a long time in order to achieve the world standing it holds today. This isn’t the case though. In fact, when compared to great civilizations like the Roman Empire which lasted almost 12 centuries, many would say that the United States is still in its infancy. Much in the same way, the political and economic systems the U.S. is famous for are seen to be derived from past civilizations as well. But this of course leads us to asking the inevitable questions of where did it all begin, and what caused people to settle here in America of all places. In order to answer this however, we have to look back past explorers and crusades. Past the kings, uprisings, revolts, and trade routes. We must go back in time to the Roman Empire itself, specifically in the year 476 BCE; the time when everything was falling apart in Rome.…
