My classmates's blog

 Reading the blogs of my classmates its very shocking that every year the amount of immigrants increased very fast. It surprising how people take a dangerous opportunity to be happy. Immigrants have to be strong and need a lot of courage because they don't know what will happen next. The thing that I liked the most of the other classmates is where they had to write the first person narrative. It is so dramatic and so realistic. We need to be thankfull for the lifestyle that we have. We don't have an idea of how people would give anything to have the life that we have.

My Family Heritage

  Every puerto ricans have a little of heritage of Spain, Native Americans and African.The desendants of my family are not immigrants but I have few that emigrated. My sister-in-law moved from Puerto Rico to Florida due to health condiotions. In Florida, her mom recieve a better treatment for her condition of health. Also, my cousin named Gisela moved to Texas for a job opportunity. In Texas, she recieved a beeter job and a better salary. But also I have family members that moved from the United States to Puerto Rico. Like my auncle Mandy and Ricky. Their causes were to be with their family and for jobs opportunities.

In this website:

it demostrated that United States is the nation of immigrants. Every immigant immigrate for their lifestyle and the future of the family. For me, the best thing to do to stop immigration would be for the countris to give more opportunities to their citizens. As simple as that!

Immigartion and Emigration

  It is surprising how the amount of immigrants pass the legal ones. Over decades, the government had sign act for it to stop but even though the government sign act and put laws it doesn'y work. For me the cause of the immigration is cause by the conditions of the states. If a person want to move is because it is miserable their life style. Every country needs to put more opportunities for the people to be better. For example, like more jobs, more opportunities, a better lifestyle. Nobody like to be in bad conditions that cause stress and nobody want to be stressfull for their entire life. Everybody wants to be happy and relax! Everybody knows that life isn't easy but humans have the right to live their life like they want.

My journey!

  I love Japan but it surprising how it is changing by the economic status. If I stayed on Japan I knew that I was not going to live happy with my family and we were going to pass a lot of necesities. In a night I made a decision that I wanted to immmigrate to the United States. I knew it was not going to be easy at all but I knew that the process was going to be worthy.
   I joined others Japanese in a boat to reach United States. It was only my baby and I. I made a bag with all our personal stuff but the majority of the stuff that I brought was food. It was going to be a long trip. In our way to United States was very uncomftorble. It was a small boat like with a capacity of 30 persons and there were like  the triple of the maximum capacity. The trip lasted like 9 days. On the first day, I was frightened. I don't know what is going to happen next. The second day, my baby and I were alright. I expected that on the trip my baby and I were gooing to be fine. But the third day, my baby was feeling sick due to the high surge. A lady gave her a medicine and my baby got normal. The days passed until we got to the United States. Thank God nobody caught us.
   The first time that I put my feet on the land I could already feel the freedom and the hapiness. I needed to start from zero! I needed to take any job. When we got to U.S. rapidly I went to a mini supermarket to buy milk for my baby. Than God I heard an old lady saying that she needed someone to clean her house and I offer myself and she accepted. I felt very lucky. At that precise moment she offer me a deal, that if I watch her and care for her she would let me stay in a room of her house. I accept! Now I had a work and a place to stay. When we finish to buy the things of the mini market she brought me to her house. It was enourmous! That night I felt so comftorble with the old lady that I told her my journey. She understood and surprisingly she wasn't weird with me like others on public places.
    Over two years I worked for the old lady and I saved a lot of money. With that money I bought my own house. But I still work for the old lady because she is like family for me.Time passed and already I have grandson. My daughter is a doctor and my grandsons have a good education. I thank God everyday for everything! Even I pass that nightmare of migrating to the United States it was all worthy.

Japanese immigration toward the united states!

      There was a time when people from all over the nations started to immigrated to United States due to specific reasons. The Japanese immigrated to the United States because Japan fall on a bad economic time. Many people were unemployed.That means people can't pay their houses and they can't mantain their family. They immigrated for a better life. The mayority of immigrants were laborers and farmers.Another reason for the Japanese to immgrated was for their safety due to the dangerous atmosphere in Japan.
    They needed to immigrate so fast that they did whatever they could to move from Japan. Unfortunately, the immigrant act was created. It made it more difficult for Japanese to move to Hawaii. But when the immigrant act was removed, they could migrate to the United States again. The process to migrate to another place is very difficult. You need to be very careful that nobody suspect you are an immigrant. You pass neccesities but people pass that process because they think that it is worthy like the Japanese did. The japanese wanted a better life and if the process to get to a better life is dificult lets do anything to get to a better life.
   When they first arrived, they needed to start from zero. Since they were immigrants they lived on poor conditions.They took what they could have.They worked on agriculture. It became clear that they became competitors with the whites. In a time the japanese won more money than the whites because they worked harder than the whites. The japanese needed to do anything to have more money to send to their families.
   Immigrants in those time needed to be very strong! no physical but mentally. They needed to be prepared mentally of what could happened if they got caught or the bad process of migrating to the United States. Its a very surprising experience! You never know what is going to happen next. By searching for information of the immigrants I can view their view point of how times were before. Also, the reader can view how the people sacrifice them self for their family. We need to be very aprecciate with the life that we have. That we don't pass neccesities and we live on good conditions.
