What kind of programs do the government has for immigrant

Immigrants feelings toward Americans

Many immigrants feel that americans are racist and always blame them for all the things that happen in this country. Some of them live under fear because they think that an anti-immigrant might do sonething bad to them. They fear for their life and their familes. They also feel they need to do whatever anybody tell them so they won't get deported. Other think that some people hire them to work and when they get tire of them they just fire them for no reason, because after all they know their illegal statues so they know immgrants can't do nothing about it. They feel that white people are always stereotyping then which lead to bigger problems. Sometimes they feel like going to their countries but they can't because of the economic problem overthere. I'm an immigrant and i seen all of this thing happen and i feel so bad when it happens because i feel useless. But i believe that one day all this problems are going to end.

Illegal immigrants problem

Many immigrants today are discriminated against. People are racist and unfair to immigrants. This issue is not from now though, this problem been around since the 1880's. Another problem that immigrants have to put up with is how people take advantage of them. When i say people i mean businesses they hire illegal immigrants because they work cheap and they can't say nothing because of their illegal statues. That problem is increasing every year more and more because neither republicans or Democrats have the guts to do something about it. Some of the groups of immigrants that have to deal with this today are hispanics. Another thing is that if the policie catch them they want to deport them right away no matter if they committed a crime or not. I believe we immigrants don't have any rights in this country like the constitution states because whenever people have the chance to, they take it away from us. The government is always promising programs and organizations to help the immigrants but they never do anything. I'm an immigrant myself and i believe that we immigrants should be respected so much because we do the jobs that americans (white) don't want to do. We do the dirty and dangoreous job for them like counstruction. I believe that if they deport all the immigrants that are here right now the USA economy will decline.

The way immigrants had to live

Many immigrants came with little money and often were force in house that were in terrible conditions. With the rising of their population the city could not handle the effect of overcrowding that led to serious problems. Many cities had problems with sanitation leading to overflowing sewers, uncollected garbage, impure water and a general stench in the air. All this problems led to many diseases such as tuberculosis, epilepsy or mental impairments. However that wasn't the only problem they had to face, crime rates were increasing. Many native americans blamed the New Immigrants for the unsettling situation in the city and for taking over their nation. Because of all those problems congress began to pass legislation limiting immigration. After that moment immigrants started to feel that they had no rights. Some of them had to struggle alot because they had to work to support themselves and to support their families.

The age of "New Immigrants"

Between 1880-1920 almost 24 millions immigrants arrived in the United States. These New Immigrants were from Southern and Eastern European such as Italy, Greece, Poland, Hungry and Russia. These "New Immigrants" came to the United States for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons were low wages, unemployment, disease, and religious persecutions. These immigrants were inspired to come to america by its reputation of "The land of Liberty". These "New Immigrants" fleeing poverty and persecution faced difficulties in adapting into the american culture. Most couldn't speak english, some came from non-democratic government and were often distrustful of government. A lot of them created small ethnic communities where they preserved the culture of their homelands. In those communities they maintained their culture by opening store, restaurants, schools and churches. Although they were creating their own communities this didn't protect them from being discriminated against. They worked in growing factories and poorly paid jobs such as construction and sewing.

Immigration in the USA since the 1800's

Many people immigrate to the USA for a better life. People have been immigrating since the 1800's. Some of the groups who migrated in the 1800's were Italians, French, Irish, German, Jews & Dutch. They left there country with the intention of sending money back to their families and eventually return home. Some of the reasons why they left their country were high taxes, soil erosion and earthquakes. Throughout the years people migrated more and more especially in the 1840's-50's two of the groups that migrated the most were Irish because they were fleeing the potato famine and Germans fleeing crop failures. Although migration was increasing, it decreased in the 1860s due to the civil war. It rose again in the 1870's. Also in the early nineteenth century chinise started migrating to the western states seeking for work. Unlike the europeans who traveled in family groups, the immigrants from china were primarily males who traveled by themselves. Very few chinese womans migrated during this period and the few who did became prostitutes. The chinese male immigrants who emigrated ended up working on railroads, farmlands and mines.
