I was born in Mexico, but I been raised in the US since I was 1 year old. In 1999 was when my parents decided to immigrate to the US because the earnings from my parents working high amount of hours in maquiladora plants wasn’t going to be enough to pay the bills. My parents and I came to the US not having any connections and we were living in a cold garage in inhumane conditions, my dad would ride his bike 14 miles a day to the Cultural Center in Cornelius and wait for a one-day job offer and sometimes people that would pick him up to work would abuse of him and end up not paying him. My parents figured that all of us living in the US wasn’t going to be sustainable either so my mother and I went back to Mexico while my dad stayed in the US

  • Immigration in the United States

    1133 Words  | 3 Pages

    The United States has often been referred to as a global “melting pot” due to its assimilation of diverse cultures, nationalities, and ethnicities. In today’s society, this metaphor may be an understatement. Between 1990 and 2010, the number of foreign born United States residents nearly doubled from 20 million to 40 million, increasing the U.S. population from almost 250 million to 350 million people. With U.S. born children and grandchildren of immigrants, immigration contributed to half of this population growth. These immigrants, consisting of mostly Asian and Hispanic backgrounds, have drastically changed the composition of the U.S. population. In 2010, Asians and Hispanics made up 20 percent of the U.S. population, in contrast to a 6 percent share of Asians and Hispanics in 1970. It is predicted that by 2050, the share of immigrants in the United States will increase to one half of the entire population. With this rapid increase in diversity, many citizens have opposing views on its impact on the United States. In my opinion, an increase in immigration does contain both positive and negatives effects, but in general it provides an overriding positive influence on America’s society (“Population”).

  • The Great Migration In The 1950's

    The great migration was when 6 million African Americans moved from the south to cities of the north. The Midwest and west in the 1950s had a impact on the urban life because so many African Americans were gone. Chicago, New York and other big cities saw their population grow widely. The migrants had to deal with horrible working conditions and competition for new home, due to the fact that they were African American and because they were new-comers. The first biggest movement happened during World War 1, when 454,000 African American southerners move north. Between 1940 and 1960 more than 349,000 African Americans left the south and went to the north and west cities.

    Migration is what made the United States into what it is today. One of the biggest migrations in history is the Mexican migration to America, which is still going on today. During the early twentieth century, Mexico had a population of approximately 13.5 million people. A majority of the immigrants came from Michoacán, Guanajuato, and Jalisco. Many people in today’s society believe in President Trump’s idea of building a giant wall on the Mexican border. Nobody says it, but the belief that Mexico should pay for this wall makes it seem like we are blaming them for all of the immigrants that managed to make it to America. After many hours of research, I have found that their beliefs are far from the truth. It is the United States that practically

    Cynical observers fear that migration will engender the political clash, as poor immigrants destabilize opulent nations. History appears to anticipate that expansive floods of migration go with monetary amelioration. England, France, Germany, Italy, and the all of us relied upon ecumenical migration as a pivoting lever, either to export our joblessness or to draw in the labor market(Strikwerda, 1999 p. 369).In fact, European migration to the Americas arrived at the midpoint of 30,000– 40,000 every year in the 1830s. By the 1850s, emigration found the middle value of more than 250,000.
