IMMIGRANTS
B R E A U N A C R O W T H E R
Immigration is very messy to
get into because once people
immigrate to America of
course they need to work to
get their citizenship. I didn't
think it was necessary to
have the long wait. On our
statue of Liberty it says "Give
me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free, the
wretched refuse of your
teeming shore" then here we
are pushing people away just
because they are different
from us.
A lot of people get confused with words that
are very similar with Immigration. For
example what is Migration and Emigration
how they are different from Immigration.
