All humans, each and every person, have their own unique opinion. As immigrants migrate to America, they face many challenges: financial, social, and political. In Funny in Farsi, author Firoozeh Dumas tells a memoir about her coming to America from Iran, and enduring many trials while trying to acquire acceptance of the fellow Americans around her. Someone is no longer considered an immigrant when they are legally documented and contribute to the society.

Although they have has i has time taking care of their family in their out nation because of the lack of jobs and the amount of education given to the is so basic.

According to Labor Department statistics, “People of color are nearly twice as likely to be out of work as Caucasian Americans, even when they have the same degree” (Rassuli 1). Despite the number of immigrants coming to America in search of freedom and new opportunities, citizens see them as “outsiders” and “unwelcomed” (2). These immigrants come to America for a better life, chasing the “American Dream,” only to be “struck down” by American society (2). Imbolo Mbue explores these challenges that immigrants face and expands on the obstacles they have to overcome in her book Behold the Dreamers.

It shows how complex is the problem of identity crisis that Indians try to cope with in a foreign land. Throughout the novel Tilo is joined by a host of other people that share many aspects of life as immigrants, but each also has their own individual story both physically and

According to politician Leonard Boswell, “The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one 's children, and hav[ing] a secure job to provide these and other goals.” There are a multitude of people around the world who accept this umbrella definition of money and security being interchangeable with success. And yet, for one of the first times in American history, most parents do not believe that their children are going to be more prosperous than they were (Martin). The American Dream is a concept that can never be easily defined, measured, or calculated. Instead, it morphs to societies changes throughout the generations.

As a developed country, America becomes one of the top nations that has the highest marriage rate decline – “The age at which one first gets married has risen by six years since 1960, and now only 20 percent of Americans get

Scotch-Irish and Latin Americans, both faced needs for a better life by moving to the United States only because of the circumstances that had occurred in their homeland.

At the end he told me, “Luis becoming an anchor baby is probably one of the most luckiest ways to not suffer. You don’t have to go threw paper work, or having to wait years for the government to accept your documents. ” At the same time that he was talking I ask myself, “Men what are some of the things that a immigrant has to go

After WWI, there were large numbers of people seeking entry into the United States. During WWI the Russian Revolution occurred, and communism became an important part of politics.
