  • Summary: The United States Immigration System

    1776 Words  | 8 Pages

    As I was reading the book, I realized that that the overall situation of immigrants is mainly based on their environment. However, I believe that it is the student’s fault for not being unable to make relationships in school and their community. It seems like the author is trying his best to blame the environment for all the illegal activities that immigrates commit. The acts of a person, and I say person, not immigrant, is largely due to their fault, rather than being the environment’s fault. In addition, the incentive to better oneself derives from oneself, not from the environment.

  • Being A Mexican American Essay

    328 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the toughest adjustments, having been born to Mexican parents, is migrating to an unknown country where traditions and languages differ from one 's own. Though many pursue an education and strive for a better life, the purpose behind an immigrant, like myself, differs from the typical American. Immigrants strive for a life that was once impossible, going to school is not only to attain an education, but to better prove that we can also become successful regardless of our traditions and skin color. I lived in a country for over fifteen years, fearing deportation, not only losing a home, but potentially saying goodbye to a bright future. Although many feel empathy for Mexican-Americans, it is undeniably difficult to truly comprehend the immense trauma children and even adults undergo  upon experiencing racism and prejudice.
