Immigration Reflection

An immigrant is a person who enters a different country to reside in for many personal reasons. Some may include finding better job opportunities, living a more substantial life style, and/or possibly for relative needs. Some people grow up in a country that may not enforce the certain protection rights that they may want/need. Also, some people grow up believing in different beliefs, religious or non-religious and want to move to a country they believe will be accepting and/or recognizable. In some countries, there are social unrest religious persecutions going on and the person may feel unsafe and un-protected. In their country, their may be problems with sexual harassment and sexual discrimination against gay and lesbian rights. Also, there may be country disasters where the individual is feared for their life and belongings and would want to immigrate to a different country. Another reason an individual would want to reside in a different country, would be because of freedom of speech. Some countries don’t approve of their citizens speaking out against them and lock them up, torture them, kill them, or they disappear. In some countries, their punishment acts would be to cut off human limbs and torture the.

In the United Sates of America, all citizens’ are under the protection of the constitution and the bill of rights. Because of this, they are entitled to a free and appropriate public education, have the right to buy property, all citizens have the right to vote, and all of America’s citizens have the right to a fair and speedy trial under the law.

Immigration has changed our country very much. We have added different language studies into the classrooms, we have different cultural events, and we allow people to gather as a group if they want to or they can do what they please. I believe that my life has been affected by immigration because I have been able to learn different languages and experience different experiences by taking trips to different cultural events around the city or being able to taste the different cultural foods. I think that my awareness for different cultures and traditions has really widened and opened up because I have been able to learn and be introduced to many different living styles.
