Why did they want more benefits? Why do think polices didn't care about the immigrants? @Jersel ~ by Elizabeth

A challenge that immigrants faced were adapting to the changes in their life and finding jobs. One reason the immigrants had trouble adapting to their environment is because the country they cam from might not have the things such as the technology and transportation in the united states. Also the immigrants the came to the united states had trouble finding jobs because there were so many people getting hired that there was no more space for anymore workers. Immigrants that came to America also had trouble speaking the right language so the boss would understand them there for people did not get hired. Ashthon Brown

Some of the challenges that the immigrants faced and still face today is ethnic and religious discrimination and racism. The also face strict laws that don’t allow them to vote and sometimes don’t allow them to own property.  I think that immigrants continue to come to America because they seek protection, to live in freedom, to practice their religion freely, to escape poverty or oppression, and to make better lives for themselves and their children.

Jersel Defour                                                                                                 Immigrants had problems with the police they werent able to go to the police to tell them there problems because the police went against them. The police also ignored crimes in the hood because thats where the immigrants lived. Immigrants lived in the US because they wanted more benefits like better homes or jobs.

Kern                                                                                                          Some challenges that immigrants faced when they entered America is discrimination, racism, and being treated like they are less then everybody else. Immigrants that come to America sometimes don't get jobs because of their ethnicity and not their potential. Whereas if a white person was getting interviewed they'd get the job more easily. I believe that immigrants continue to come to America because it offers more job opportunities which can provide them with money to support their families. Also, it could be the only safe place that they can go. Some people come here as refugees and because their country is in the middle of an war. These are all good, logical reasons to come to America.

One challenge immigrants faced coming to America was finding jobs.Finding jobs was a challenge because certain people couldn't speak english or certain people had bad health.Another challenge immigrants faced coming to America was finding shelter.Finding shelter was a challenge because since New York was getting over crowed with immigrants most people had to live in tenements ,which had no space,windows,central air and etc.I believe the reason why immigrants still come to America is because now there is more opportunities than before and there are more places to locate with many options.

some challenges that immigrants faced was hard because they were not adapt. One statement is that they were not familiar with the changes and settings at the present time. second statement is some people have mentality that when they come here its because there country doesn't want them sometimes there is a second chance. Thats why they judge people how they look. Immigrants still continue to come to America for many opportunities its also a better life for their children and their children when they get older.

The challenges that immigrants faced and they continue to face as they was coming to America is being separated from their families and getting deported back to where they came from and people still get worried to get deported till this day, there is an heightened risk of them even getting abused at times, not only immigrants but LGBT migrants getting forced to leave their homes and leave they country due to the hostilities they faced just because of their sexually. Immigrants still go through major challenges in their life, but they still come to America because immigrants are closely tied to discussions about the U.S. economy and global competitiveness, national security, and the country's role in humanitarian protection at a time of record global displacement. -Heidi Francois

Some challenges that immigrants face when coming to America are, having difficulties speaking English because some immigrants come from countries that don’t speak the language. Immigrants would have problems finding good jobs that they want because there’ll probably be people that are more qualified for the job than they are and have applied years before they did.

A problem that immigrants would have to face when they come to America is housing, they would not know where to go live or if the rent is too high and if they are getting scammed for a house that costs significantly less. Another problem that immigrants would have when coming to America would be transportation they would have problems getting around because they would not have a car and can get lost if they try to go on the bus or train, and most immigrants don’t speak English that well so they would have problems if they tried to ask someone for directions.

Ludmiya- The challenges that the immigrants face as they enter America is they don't celebrate the certain holidays that we do. Also, they get bullied for their culture and where they have come from. Immigrants sometimes have trouble finding good jobs to support them and their families. For example, some jobs may be racist and not want to hire them because of their ethnicity. Since some immigrants can't find good homes that fit their budget some of them lead up to living in bad neighborhoods that are not safe for their families. The reason I think that immigrants continue to come to America today is probably because they want to practice their religion freely, and to avoid poverty, and make their lives better for themselves and their children. These are the challenges that I think immigrants face as they come into America and why I think they continue to come into America.

Ershbena Gilot                                                                                     Many immigrants were persecuted due to the fact that they weren't from America. Many were being used because they didn't understand English. It was very challenging and difficult because they weren't very familiar with the customs and the language of America. Many didn't adapt as fast as others and had to live in harsh conditions. They had to live in the ghetto which was filled with slum areas. It was very hard to find jobs and they had family members to provide for. Immigrants today have to deal with ridicule and criticism because they are not as adaptable as others. They still have trouble finding jobs especially considering the fact that the most of them are not citizens. Most immigrants today have to live in poorly conditioned places. - Ershbena Gilot

Some of the challenges immigrants face was learning a new language. For example, immigrants who come from countries that speak a different language, have a hard time fitting in with other Americans. Another example is that immigrants that come from different countries may have a harder time learning in school because of the language barrier

The challenges that immigrants faced was immigrants living in the ghetto/projects and getting a job at a early age. They will be going through crime in the projects and the immigrants were poor to live in the projects. Immigrants are unable to live in a afford a decent housing. Immigrants continue to come to America today because they wanted to have a fresh start and get jobs that will pay them enough to feed for themselves. ~Jennie

Immigrants faced while entering America is health officers boarded the ship in the harbor and look for signs and diseases. Immigrants still come today to America because they want to be a citizen in the U.S. And want to be free people. As what the country says "its a free country". Amir Elbasel

A challenge that immigrants faced is  harsh treatment because they couldn't fit in or  adapt . One reason this would  happen is they weren't this familiar  with the changes and settings given at the present time. Second  is  certain  people have this mentality that when you come here its only because your country doesn't want you;But sometimes it  is just for a second chance . That is also the reason why you cant just judge a person based on how they look. Immigrants continue to come to america for the many opportunities presented by people . Also its maybe for a better life for their children  and future grand children. This way  they don't  have to live such a harsh life they possibly may of had.  Anthon brown
