Immigration

An immigrant is a person who moves to some place where they are not from. It could be a person moving to Britain from India, or somebody moving from Mexico to the United States. Immigrants differ in many ways. Some can know the language and plan on coming to the country for a long time, or they can be illegal immigrants and do it as a spur of the moment thing.

There are many reasons why an immigrant would want to leave its old country. They might think they can get a better life somewhere else. Another reason could be that the place they want to go to is beautiful. The person could want to go to Italy from China of a place like that. China is overcrowded and Italy is beautiful and spacious. One more reason they might want to leave is because the economy is horrible in their home country. The U.S. has a bad economy so Americans might want to move to a different place.

The U.S. has many things that are different from other countries. The U.S. has a lot of freedom compared to other countries. The U.S. has a democratic government, which is different from a lot of other countries. The U.S. has become very over-populated with immigration and I think that that is part of the reason that our economy is horrible. My life has changed a lot due to immigration. We have a lot more Mexican food places, and the Chinese-Americans invented my favorite food, Orange Chicken.
