Immigrants

This is an important article to read because it tells you how many immigrants come to this country and suffer just to come for a better life.Immigrants play a huge role in the population of the United States. The U.S. is looked at, as a place for a new start and a place to begin a new life. Mexico and other foreign country have no resident Islamic community, no known terrorist cells, and has never been a launching pad for terrorist attacks on the United States. European immigrants are given a job, shelter, and food also is granted citizenship and voting privileges.

Today, Mexican immigrants are lucky to cross the boarder without being shot. What's the difference between them and us, we're both human beings, coming to this place looking for a better way of life, so why we do not get treated the same way. People think that we only come to the United States to make things worst for them and limit their future; they do not see the contributions that immigrants make to this country. Immigration between the United States and Mexico is something that can not be stopped, since each country has its own economy, one better than the other. Mexico is not a rich country; most of the people in Mexico suffer economical issues. Mexicans only see their solution immigrating to the United States.

Immigrating to the United States is not as easy as it sounds; immigrants from Mexico have to cross the Rio Grande river, which is a very dangerous river where many people have died; if there lucky and make it across the river, they will have to walk hundreds of miles in the dessert, suffering hungry, thirst, and cold nights. Many times they get sick and die at the dessert, leaving their family at Mexico even worst. Other times they get caught when they are about to make it across the border, but they will keep trying, until they make it.
