Treatment Of Immigrants

“The truth is, immigrants tend to be more American than people born here” (Chuck Palahniuk). When someone decides to immigrate to a foreign country they know nothing about, it can make or break them. Cruel treatment, isolation, and odd looks follow them everywhere they walk. In America, an immigrant usually isn’t considered a real citizen until they prove themselves; this may take days or years, depending on where they settle, where they work, and even their physical appearance. Therefore, the treatment of these immigrants play a large factor in their success as an American citizen—for example, if an immigrant is looked down upon and alienated by those around him or her, they may not gain the skills and knowledge they need to qualify for a
sustainable job.
