Reflection
To me the definition of an immigrant is a person that comes from another country that come looking for a better way of life. To me an immigrant is a person who is willing to sacrifice all to make something of them selves. To me an immigrant is a person who risks it all for his family. That is what the word immigrant means to me.
My connection to immigration is that I immigrated from México to the U.S when I was 5. I also have relative over both borders to the north and to the south.
I have many friends and family who are immigrants starting with me. I myself am an immigrant, I was born in Mexico and came over to the U.S when I was 5, and my parents are also immigrants. My cousin and her family are also immigrants.
I think many immigrants come to the United States for one of two reasons, one they want to come over here to start a new life for his or her family and want to start all over, or secondly they have a relative over here.
We see the effect of immigration everywhere, from homeless persons to gangs, we see the way people treat immigrants.
