Assignment 1: Should I Stay or Go?


1.  What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)? Consider and discuss what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.

  2. I think that imegrents come to America because they need jobs and money to help their family.Sometimes when they come to America they can gain money and a job.Sometimes they can loose things like their cuture and homes.

    If I were an imegrent I would move to a different country because I would want freedome and money.

  3. 1. They could loose friends. They would probably not be able to see them a lot. They may gain better freedom and more money for their family.

    2. I would move for freedom probably. I would want freedom of speech.

  4. Immigrants come here for chances.They can get more money.This chance for more money means better education,clothing, more food.They can not get traditional food and they might miss friends and other family that did not come.They could miss alot of things from home,but they could get better things like better schools,food,and clothing.there is still more chances. I would do for both economic reasons and for freedom.The money would be better.I could get a job.I would also go for freedom.There would be jobs for very body.That would be why I would come. -Mina

  5. They come here for many things such as money freedom and education. Many immagrints didn't get a good education from their home country so they come to the United States for a better one. A good amount of immagrints come here for jobs or money. They probaly have a family and their old job didn't pay enough. A lot of immagrintscome here for freedom. They just want to have more things to do without going to jail.
    I would go for both reasons. I want to have freedom and have a good economy. If I had to choose one I probaly would have choosen freedom because freedom is very immportant to me but other wise I would have done it for both reasons. The reason I would have gone for economic reasons is because right now our economy is bad and I feel like it could be better some place else. Another reason is because there might be more jobs.

  6. Immigrants come here because of alot of reasons. They come here to gain money, jobs, better clothing, better houses. Some of them come for school and education. Alot of them might loose friends, food that they are used to eating, and mostly family. That is why I think that immigrants should come to America for a better life to live.

    If I were an European that wanted to move to the British colonies I would come for economis reasons and for freedom. I would come for economic reasons because I would like to have money to live a life. I would come for freedom because I would not like to be ruled by anybody. I would like to live my own life

  7. I think that the imagrants come to America to start a new life. They could have posibly had a troubled life before. Maybe they had a great oppurtunity for a job. They could of even lived in a non-free coutry, and they moved for freedom. They probably left their own family just to get here for a new life. But a good thing is, there might have not been enough jobs where they lived.

  8. I would move for freeedom. I would do that because it would not be a fun life if I where being ruled by someone else!!! I would want to be free. ----Carly

  9. i think that what motivates imagrents to go to a diffrent country is becuse they probaly would like to get a better job and they probaly think that it is a better chance for them to live thier dream. i think they would gain happiness and they would lose thing like thier culture probaly family that lives there in thier country friends that live in thier country

  10. 1.I believe that if a imagrant moved to a new country they would lose and gain lots of things. They would lose thier cultre and thier family from the country that they were moving from. They would gain a new language.2.If I was a imagrant I would move for economic reasons. I would move for economic reasons because my country that I am moving from would probably have lots of earthquakes.

  11. They would well you no probaly lose alot of money.It would most likley be very hard to uh well get a job. If they geta job they just might get alot of money from the job.They might be able to uh go to a better school.

    I believe in freedom so if I had a chance to move to freedom I really I mean it would. So If you want freedom well I you really do come on and move to freedom.

  15. 1.I think what motivates them is the jobs that they offer and the freedom.They would also go there because they could have a free religon.(:

    2.If I was an imagrant then I would move there because I could have a free religon. I would also go there for freedom. AAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I would go there for their jobs.

  16. What I think motavates imagrants to come to the U.S is that we have more resorses than they do.When they come they just want to stay because they probaly think its safer from where they came from.

  18. 1.Imigrants come to the U.S.A for chances,money, food,and better education.They probibly have little friends and family.2.If i were to imigrate somewhere i would imigrate for economic resons, because almost every country or state i have been to had a problem.I think of my self as one of them,an imigrant because i was born in the U.S.A.I was born on a little island called SAINT LUCIA,so i had to learn from you people.(It was just a little bit hard.) -SIENNA

  19. I think that imagrants are motivated to move because they might have a bad life in their old country. They were motivated to come here because they might think that their life would be better here in the U.S.A. They might think that they could find something that would make them happy.

    If I were an imagrant I would come to the U.S.A. so I could earn money. Iwould do this so my children and my family could have a better life. Although I may have some strugles it would be a better life. If I could earn more money I could buy more things. Iwould be more happy. I would enjoy life more.

  27. 1. I think that it is fair to let people move in from a different country. It isn't fair not to let someone in just because they don't live here. Immigrants come to start a new life and it's not fair not to let them.

    2. I would come for freedom. I know that money is important but I think freedom is just a little more important. I mean like if you had all the money in the world, that would be fun but also you were a slave. That is what I think. Blog Back.

  35. I think it would be good for a imagrant to come to the U.S.A.. The things they would lose is their home. But, they would get a better job. Also get more money. My teacher Ms.butler told me about my old teachers student migrated from somewhere. Feel free to write me back.
    Bye!!!!!

    If I was an imagrant I would move for fradom and money to help myself. My family would be happy for me. I would buy more food for my family and clothes. If people would make fun of me because I'm from a different country just ignore them. thats what i would do if I was a imagrant.
    Bye!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I think that imagrants come to the U.S.A sothey can find a better life. They could come because they were trying to forget about something sad that could have happened in their life. I also think that imagrants could lose their friends and family. But they could also gain new friends and better jobs. Imagrants can also gain better ideas. They could gain better ideas because the people from the new country can inspire them.

    If I were an imagrant I would move for money. If I could earn more money I could give a better life to my family. I could even have a better time with my friends. If I were to have more money I could make a lot of people happy. It would be a better life.
