Immigration

"I'm interested in people who find themselves in places, either of their choosing or not, and who are forced to decide how best to live there. That feeling of both citizenship and exile, of always being an expatriate - with all the attendant problems and complications and delight" ( Chang-Rae Lee ). An immigrant is a person from one country who moves to another country permanently for a better life. Immigration continues to be the subject of intense national debate. The more than one million immigrants arriving each year have a very significant effect on many areas of American life. There are many different reasons why people have their country to go to another country. My family escaped Syria because of the war, and when they moved to United State, they faced more obstacles such as language; However illegal immigrants face different issues like not paying taxes and the U.S should be more easier.

On the other hand, they will face too many difficulties when they move to a new country.

My family faced too many difficulties when they moved to United State, the most important one is the language. My mother said the American English language is very interesting to learn and speak but it is so hard to learn because the exits of letters are different from the Arabic language. So, it is too hard for us to engage in the community and find a good job. This is a common problem that faced almost all the immigrants here in The United State. Maybe it is easier for the young people to learn a new language, but for adult age people it is difficult. If the immigrant do not speak English very well it is very hard to communicate with others in jobs. That makes the opportunities for jobs more less for immigrants. There are too many aspects of illegal immigration.

At this time there is a huge percentage of illegal immigration In United State of America. Not paying taxes is a very important aspect that affects the American society and its citizens because of the illegal immigration. " According to a Gallup Poll, 66% of Americans believe that illegal immigrants "cost the taxpayers too much by using government
