...At the first glance, this is nothing like the Chicago of that time period with its “endless vista of ugly and dirty little wooden buildings” (27). However, when looking deeper into the social structure and struggles found in both the city and the jungle, there are surprising similarities. In both the traditional jungle and its urban counterpart, there is a “food chain”, with few apex “predators” using a large amount of “prey” to benefit themselves. In both situations, it is the survival of the fittest where “the weaker ones died off of cold and hunger” (260). Due to many factors, including lack of education and inability to speak English, the immigrants are at a severe disadvantage and this analogy emphasizes the hopelessness of the immigrant’s...

Schools and sports teams are institutional agents and within these institutions are teachers and guidance counselor that can help lead the youth through high school and transition into college. As Roth stated, “Most of the young men in the study who graduated from college relied at some point on social ties to individuals within the high school to help them assess their options and make decisions about college and career” (Roth 328). Students look up to teachers to assist them with continuing education because Latino immigrant’s parents are not very knowledgeable with...

...I am sorry if I have offended you and or others. I am definitely for taking care of our vets. More than half of my family are veterans. Putting politics in this does not mean that one party favors another on veteran care. Even though Democrat’s have voted, past programs and done more by 2/3s. My best friend died 8 years ago while severing our country. My father, 8 uncles, 2 aunts, grandfather, and 5 great-uncles are veteran's. They are all Democrats, but two are Republicans. My issues of this post is that there is a difference between refuges and illegal immigrant’s. Refugees are those that are escaping war and or harm. They legally come here by a process of 4 years plus with a back ground check and waiting period for over site of their life....

...Illegal Immigrants Striving for College Education For hundreds of years, people have immigrated to the United States from various societies. The idea of “immigration” has recently caused an absurd amount of debate. Immigrants originally founded this nation, however, those moving to America today have encountered discrimination. Despite their diverse backgrounds, each of them shares one thing in common: the search for a better life. They attempt to educate themselves and fit into our culture, yet society rejects them. Some immigrants look for colleges where they can learn. The price for tuition and lack of citizenship prevents them from expanding educationally. When immigrants attempt to educate themselves in college, the country should bestow them with basic citizen rights. There are several motivations for people to immigrate to United States: economic opportunity, the search of better land or a superior job. When the English first colonized United States, they came to practice their religious beliefs. The foreigners were seeking a better environment to expand religiously. In order to properly colonize, they had to overcome several obstacles. Currently, people are colonizing the United States to find better jobs, new lives for their families, or to search for a better government. All these goals and wishes are extremely difficult for the people to accomplish. There are several people with strong jobs in their home countries, but when they immigrate, all their hard work goes...

...to return the people back to their home countries? Texas congress believes that it is doing immigrants a favor yet they refuse to go easy on them. Texans have even gone to severe measures like trying to create fencing around the entire Texas border that will electrocute those that touch the fence. It was not always this way, for a large period of time it was very simple for immigrants to cross over and create a life for themselves, so easy that Texans felt that it was taking their chance to create a life away. If immigrants would steal the jobs that Texans needed to support a family, there would be a larger unemployment rate. Texas congress will only name the bad things that immigrants do for the U.S. What Texans or people in the United States in general don’t see is the horrible life they are creating for immigrant families torn apart by deportation because most of their kids are born here, while the parents are forced to leave and the children then become orphans. The majority of the people who try to come to the United States do it because they want a better life for themselves. They come here to work hard and make enough money to support their family in Mexico with hopes of one day bringing them as well. As we all know not everyone is good so it’s no lie that...

...Book Review # 1: Yezierska’s Bread Givers. I found this book very good reading material which describes, in detail, life of Jewish immigrants in America around 1920 and the development of their community. This book helps me understand the culture, religion, beliefs, the Jewish immigrants’ relations with other immigrants and Americans, their family structure, their way of life in the city. It also talks about the poverty and despair of immigrants to America. The writing style is not difficult and I enjoyed reading this book and I learnt a lot about the life in American city at the turn of the century. In addition, knowledge of American history at that time and development of society in city helped me to better understand the material I learned in class. The story and events of Bread Givers gives me a clear understanding of the lives of new, Jewish immigrant families and their quest to achieving success in an unfamiliar and unaccepting new country. This book is a good reading material. The novel Bread Givers by Anzia Yezierska is a moving story about the lives of the Smolinsky family and their integrations into life in America. With a father deeply rooted in Torah and allegiance to God, the four Smolinsky daughters are put to work to support their family, and are burdened with the tasks of finding husbands or just being married off without choice. Many issues such as those involving the differences of gender and lives in the public and domestic spheres are touched upon in...

...There are many benefits to coming to the U.S. with a green card, many permanent residents get many of the same benefits that U.S. citizens get. Even when an immigrant wants some of the extra benefits of becoming a citizen that aren’t offered with the green card. “Deciding to become a U.S. citizen is one of the most important decisions in an individual’s life. If you decide to apply to become a U.S. citizen, you will be showing your commitment to the United States and your loyalty to its Constitution. In return, you are rewarded with all the rights and privileges that are part of U.S. citizenship.” (USCIS) Citizenship can give immigrants benefits that aren’t offered to green card holders like affordable healthcare or college grants and loans. They can even have a chance to take part in voting for a United States president or any government officials running for a position. But most importantly, they can be legal if they are an American citizen. That can prevent them from being deported back to their native country and being deported is a real problem “It doesn’t just happen to undocumented immigrants...

...Undocumented immigrants are not only grown adults, they are also young children, and babies as well. Just about 1.8 million of the United States undocumented immigrant’s populations are eighteenth years or younger. Just about 65,000 undocumented students have even graduated from American high schools each year (Adams, Boyne 47-62). It is a very complicated situation for not only the government, but for these undocumented students. The students who graduate from American high schools on average continue their studies in college or after graduation begin working and contributing to society (Adams, Boyne 47-62) By allowing undocumented students to go through school and college is very beneficial to society. For many kids who were born...

...may I be of assistance? Ah, I see I have alarmed you. Do not be frightened by my beard: I am a lover of America. I noticed that you were looking for something; more than looking, in fact you seemed to beon a mission, and since I am both a native of this city and a speaker of your language, I thought I might offer you my services as a bridge. From the author of the award-winning Moth Smoke comes a perspective on love, prejudice, and the war on terror that has never been seen in North American literature. At a café table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with a suspicious, and possibly armed, American stranger. As dusk deepens to night, he begins the tale that has brought them to this fateful meeting. Changez is living an immigrant’s dream of America. At the top of his class at Princeton, he is snapped up by Underwood Samson, an elite firm that specializes in the “valuation” of companies ripe for acquisition. He thrives on the energy of New York and the intensity of his work, and his infatuation with regal Erica promises entrée into Manhattan society at the same exalted level once occupied by his own family back in Lahore. For a time, it seems as though nothing will stand in the way of Changez’s meteoric rise to personal and professional success. But in the wake of September 11, he finds his position in his adopted city suddenly overturned, and his budding relationship with Erica eclipsed by the reawakened ghosts of her past. And Changez’s own identity is in seismic...

Two-thirds of illegal immigrants have been in the U.S. for over a decade, 1.6 million have been married to American citizens, and 95.8% were employed in 2018. They were capable of creating a $100 surplus in the Social Security program and $35.1 billion surplus in the Medical Trust Fund between 2000-2011. Failing the DREAM Act, the U.S. held between 1.1 million and 3.6 million undocumented immigrants that arrived as minors.

...the Narrator, “America was a land of living hope, woven dreams, aflame with longing and desires.” (Yezierska). This quote is a glimpse of how America is pictured by this newcomer. She envisioned herself in America, having all the opportunities she wasn’t given in her homeland, Russia, but then she later finds out that to fulfill the American Dream one must undergo many obstacles. Most people don’t think about what you must do to obtain this dream, they don’t think about how they have to adjust to their new life and assimilate into the dominate culture. The American Dream is what people visualize when they imagine America, everyone pictures something different. People come to America because it offers opportunities for people to prosper that some countries may not render, but what people do not realize is, that it takes an immense amount of time and effort to achieve the American Dream. America is a blend of people of different races and religions who come in search of a new life. A reason why foreigners migrate to America is because they desire what was not offered to them in their homeland. Yezierska writes, “In the golden land of flowing opportunity I was to find my work that was denied me in the sterile village of my forefathers”, this reveals that she came here to pursue opportunities that were not presented to her in Russia (Yezierska, 1). The main reason why many people migrate to the U.S. is because it is visualized to be the land of freedom and opportunity. In an online...
