American Values Task 3 Christian & Thomas

America receive about 800,000 immigrants, which cross the border legally. In addition, many thousands Mexicans cross the border illegally. There are many different ways to do this, but the most common way is to swim across Rio Grande. It is very difficult, because they can be met by the border patrol. You may wonder why so many people choose to move to America. The answer is that they want a better life and achieve the American dream. They want to start fresh a new place, where they can get a job and home ownership. The most important thing of is probably safety from war and persecution. Most of these immigrants face barriers, as for instance: trying to get a better education.

Multiple cultures from all over the world combines the American society, in other words it is multicultural. Why does so many immigrants move to the United States? Some years back USA was richest country and a great leader with a lot of power. It contained an opportunity for many immigrants to get a job. That’s why it was almost like a wave of immigrants moving to America before. Today it’s still many immigrants moving there. The Mexicans move to America, probably because of the location. They just have to swim over the river and walk into Texas. Others see America as the land of opportunity.
