Immigration

Immigration is when somebody moves from their home country to another country, to live there. There are many reasons why people would leave their home to immigrate to another country. Sometimes immigrants leave their homes in search of a better life. People move to the United States because the United States is a free country where people have lots of freedom and many rights. For example here we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, there are other country's that don't. 

 

The United States is a pretty new country, it  only started about 230 years ago, and that's not a very long time compared to other county's.  So every body that lives in the United States came from immigration at some point in their family's history.  So United States has been affected by immigration in a huge way.   This is a very unique country, this country is very diverse and there are many different cultures, because the people come here in search of a better life come from all over the world.  If you go to other countries they won't be a diverse as this country because those countries have been around for hundreds of years, so there aren't as many immigrants like in the  United States, that is why people that live here come from so many different backgrounds.   

 

I think that immigration is a good thing because without immigration it would be so boring, everyone would be from the same cultures and backgrounds, nothing would be new or different. Another reason why I like immigration is because like many other people without immigration I wouldn't exist.
