Immigration Reflection

An immigrant is a person that was born in a country that travels to another to country to live in. (For example: Someone was born in China but they left China to go live in the U.S. So they immigrated from China to the U.S.) Some people want to immigrate to another country because they want to live a "better life" or because they want to "start over". Also sometimes some people move just because they have to.
Some of the things that the U.S has to offer other than other countries are more freedom. We get more rights and we have chances to decide what our laws should be. We also have more food and water than other countries around the world because there are more starving/parched people in other countries than the U.S.
The U.S. has been affected by the immigration because now the U.S. has different cultures, and ethnicities. If you kind of think about it this way, the U.S. is kind of like most of the countries put together! And another thing that affected the U.S. with immigration is that ever since immigration started there has been racism, and segregation.
If there wasn’t any immigration, I wouldn’t be here right now. And my life hasn’t really changed at all due to immigration because immigration started long before I was born.
