Immigration Reflection

An immigrant is a person who is from a different country that comes and lives in a different cultural home in a different country. I think an immigrant would want to leave their country because maybe they were abused as a child. They would probably want to get away from things like that. Or maybe if there were a crisis, they would probably want to avoid it by leaving their hometown. Or maybe they would leave because of a bad childhood past.

Our country has many things to offer. Unlike most places, we offer jobs, good homes, and opportunities. Many countries don’t offer those things because they are very poor. The US has been affected many ways by immigration. Food would change because most of our food is from other countries. We wouldn’t really be here without immigrants. Everyone came here because of immigrants.

My life has changed a lot due to immigration. I wouldn’t be here right now. My dad is an immigrant from Italy. I see my Italian family and it’s great.
