Since many do not have the freedoms we tho, many foreigners developed the idea of coming here as somewhat of a dream come true, a safe haven if you will. There are many examples such as Africans fleeing from the Sudan civil war and seeking refuge here. Or like the Movie " Coming to America" a wealthy African prince came to America and automatically fell in love with American/New York culture to which he didn't really wanna go back home. ]]> 2022-02-07 15:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033281568 mohammed ashaif mohammedashaif https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033282702 the American dream is to be free from the struggles the people were in. Also, it is to be able to reach your goal and make your dream come true.

There are many people that come to the U.S because of their own circumstances of wherever they came from. For example, my mother came to the U.S because she wanted to be closer to her dad but also because she didn’t had things as she does now and went through struggles.

On TV shows there will always be a character whom isn't from America but will feel that America is the place for them to be because of the fact that they think that all their dreams could come true.

It's a narrative that is presented to people around the world, ones that encourage people to believe that everybody in America is bound to find work and be successful. Hill references that dream when she describes immigration surplus. More workers, more demand, more jobs.

According to the Crash Course, many people that migrate to the United States come seeking economic opportunity and a way to escape their suppressing lives and restart. The "American Dream" gives people hope of bettering their circumstances and restarting to become better tenfold. The American dream promises wealth and stability, which most people don't have access to in third-world countries. ]]> 2022-02-07 15:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033394683 Adonis Oleaga adonisoleaga https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033397299 The American Dream is to have a better life and work for your family to better them too. Some come for their dreams of making it big some just don't want to struggle anymore so they come here. As stated by Hill "People who choose to move internationally are very

often seeking economic opportunity." They also would come here for better education. My mom came here so for when she has kids (me and my siblings) we would have a better education, she would earn more money, and for us to not have to struggle growing up even though the U.S still made it hard on us.

For example as an immigrant myself my life here in the US would be what it’s considered the American dream because when i here my life improved not only has my education gotten stronger but the street influences as a young girl is healthier believe or not, as well me and my family’s financial standing has gotten better too.

Where one can succeed and obtain whatever it is they want. It is also a way to begin a new chapter and to be free from ones past hardships.

Either becoming stable, living in a good house, taking better care of your family, and most importantly, living freely. Mainly to get better opportunities of a better wage and live a better life. For example, from the Crash Course Video, it's stated that immigrants can increase their wages from "$9,800 to $19,000 (around there)". This amount of improvement in people's lives will further develop their idea of the American dream and how successful they can become. Mass amounts of people from Europe came to America for a better life, to be specific around "17 million Europeans" came from Europe to the U.S. in order to pursue careers and jobs. An example from my actual life is that my mom and dad are both immigrants and came from the Dominican Republic who came to the U.S. in the 80s-90s. They came here with a vision of having a family that can live a better life than they have. People believe that America is the land of opportunity and this is proven by my parents because they used to live in camps but now we live in decent houses and apartments which is a huge improvement. ]]> 2022-02-07 15:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033403294 The American Dream lucienfischer https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033407139 The American dream is based around the idea that if you move to America, over time, your life conditions will improve. In my family, the American dream occurred over three generations. My maternal grandmother moved from the D.R. to NYC in the 1960s. When my mom was born, she was in a better situation than my grandma at childhood, and over time, my mom was able to help the family climb the social ladder. Because of this, when I was born, I was in a far better position than both my mother and grandmother. Over three generations, we managed to obtain a better life economically and socially like Hill said in the video. ]]> 2022-02-07 15:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033407139 The American dream https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033410537 The American dream is a belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success. For example many people living in poverty in South America this motivates them to make the long and dangerous journey to America in hope of better life and have better opportunities. This often causes large amounts of immigrants seeking asylum in hope to provide a better future for themselves and their family.

The American Dream is a suburban life with a nuclear family and usually a dog. The family has its own house with a fence and a car. This idea was one used by my maternal and fraternal grandparents.

Of course this isn’t fact. Those who come to America are looking for safety and freedom. In some ways America offers that, there is freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to assemble etc, but this truth is not the same truth for all. We are supposed to treat each other as equals here but we often do not. If you are a person of color you’ll find that these very laws that shape our country sometimes barely apply to us. In Hill’s video she’s arguing why immigration is beneficial for our economy referring to the debate going on our country if they should be allowed in or not. Hill argues that immigration surplus may drop wages short term but in long term increases our wages. So although some government officials want to keep people out, those seeking freedom and safety these people could bring benefits to us.

Other countries and immigrants are promised wealth, liberty, and freedom when they enter the U.S borders. In the real world and as one settles into the U.S they will likely realize that it was all a facade and strictly an American DREAM not REALITY. Immigrants are likely to face discrimination from society and it's hard for them to find jobs that are sustainable enough for a themselves and even worse an entire family. There is no promised liberty and freedom even by the government because there are officials who want them out. This idea of the American Dream was to only bring more foreigners into the U.S to put them through hard labor and use them as machines for the products and raw materials being brought in to be put through mass production. The American Dream rumor was to trap these people within the borders of the US to work them down to the bone.

The video we watched expands on the idea that immigration to the US boosts the economy so in result we should encourage the rejection of immigration regulations. Although the American dream is very glorified, not every immigrant is guaranteed to achieve such results.

An example is my moms dream was to become a famous doctor and to live well in NYC and with moving to America she had that idea that America could make her big, she's almost there but not fully there but working towards it. She has received better opportunities here then the other countries she has lived in before but that doesn't mean others also experience that.

Instead of focusing society's high expectations in order to fit in shouldn't be an idea as one. So that one can live freely without having to worry about what backlash they may receive for it. In addition, whenever foreigners get taught or speak on America, it is seen as a glory country when in reality there are problems just in one country.

If you are a person of color, it'll be challenging to achieve the American Dream because of the lack of privilege and freedom you have of coming to the U.S. and being dehumanized and viewed as an outcast from media and personal experiences. A real world example of the American Dream is people migrating to the U.S. in hopes of a better life, but in reality that idea of an American dream isn't realistic as an immigrant. Hill's mentions the immigration surplus with immigrants migrating to the U.S. for jobs and a source of income, these people come in hopes of a better life and job, but the education requirement interferes with where these people are working low paying jobs that are seen as "highly paid." ]]> 2022-02-07 18:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033800019 Ameen Kamaldeen https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2033800055 The American dream is living in your own world where nothing is a problem and having your peace and freedom.

For example, people come to America for better jobs, housing and life in general. America is known as the place of freedom and everything is great when thinking about coming here but I feel like those dreams disappear or become foggy once they get to this country.

He evades the patrol but falls off train in his escape killing him. His brother is later captured off screen by the patrol and deported back to Honduras in Central America.

People lose their families, homes, belongings, etc. Examples from Sin Nombre include, when Sayra father died when trying to jump across a train car and her father ended up dying on their way out of the country. Another example is that they lose their belongings and homes because in the film, Sayra and her family left everything behind at the beginning of the movie to board the train and only carried a couple backpacks worth of belongings with them on their journey, leaving their homes and the rest of their belongings. One example from my actual life is my father, when he came to the U.S. in 1992, he left behind a huge portion of his life. He left his family, most importantly his mother. He left his business, he used to run a farm. And he sacrificed all of these things in order to achieve the American Dream in the U.S. All in all, immigrants sacrifice a huge portion of their lives in order to achieve something greater.

But some main risk would be like for femals. They have a high chance of being harrassed or raped. And there's high chances if being robbed on the train or even being deported back to your home after the weeks you spent trying to cross the border. But immigrants do thirsty fain more opportunities and to get out of their dangerous homes. Evidence would be how sayra's uncle was deported back to his home after being caught and sayra was almost raped on the train. But even after that the uncle still tried to cross the border again and sayra made it across to border. Even along the way they were not safe from being robbed by gangs.

They probably choose to take the risks because of the very poor living conditions they had and they want to get more opportunity to have a better life and escape gang violence. For example, in sin nombre, they show how bad some places can be in Mexico and how gangs rule some places.

For example, while Syra and her family were on back of the train and past a railroad where it is exposed to the public, kids started to throw rocks at them while telling them to leave in Spanish. Another instance where their health was at risk was when Syra's brother, father, and uncle were on top of the train and a group of officers came on the side. The group had guns and started shooting at them, making them get up and try to take cover. Syra's dad lost his life while trying to make his journey towards the border which affected his loved ones like Syra and her younger brother.

This idea of taking risks to access the American dream applies to Sayra jumped off the train to follow after Willy because she did not want to leave behind someone who she cared a lot about and shared hardships of their own. ]]> 2022-02-15 18:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049243115 Aymen Annisafee https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049243277 the risk that immigrants take to live the American dream are their life where they lived and health for example in the movie the dad dies trying to bring his brother and daughter to America to live the American dream.]]> 2022-02-15 18:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049243277 Gabriella Taylor https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049244481 What some immigrants do to risk access to the American dream is to try to do something that is not allowed for the American dream and be basically unqualifed.

They also risk leaving their culture and heritage behind losing part of their identity to fit into this new country. They may take these risks though because of a lot of danger and bad conditions they experience and suffer from. For example, in Sin Nombre Casper had to run away from the gang because he was going to get killed after killing another gang member's girlfriend. His own girlfriend was killed as well so I feel like he was scarred and had to leave the gang members who were like a family for a better life. ]]> 2022-02-15 18:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049245105 Justin https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049245808 Immigrants risk everything they have in order to access the American dream, some people leave their families behind, some people leave behind everything they've ever known, immigrants throw away their lives in order to obtain the American dream, and lots of them fail, and those who do, always have lost something important to them along the way.]]> 2022-02-15 18:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049245808 Ameen https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049246022 Migrate into America using the train and the risk that they face are being robbed by gang, being killed, getting caught by immigration and for women( high risk of being rapped.

There are people that would leave their homes with a limited supply of food and water.

Throughout the movie, we see that that the journey to the American border is harsh and not suitable for everyone. In the movie the director emphasizes events that occur while on the route.

They can risk getting seriously injured or even killed as well. They can experience severe trauma that can last a life time. In the movie there was a character who fell off the train while migrating so he risked his life. They would probably choose to takes those risk because A they are not knowledgeable/misinformed of the things that can happen to them or B they are hopeless and fleeing their country is their only way out. ]]> 2022-02-15 19:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049440417 Srabonti D. https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049455898 Immigrants risk their lives of themselves and their children just to enter a new country that will provide them a better lifestyle. Immigrants risk themselves by having to sacrifice their life (as in death) and/or go through a traumatic experience(s). In Sin Nombre, Sayra's father and uncle were caught by police guards since they were on the roof of the train but since the father wanted his brother to get across to Texas, he kept telling him to keep running but the father jumped off the train so only the uncle survives. Sayra did leave her brothers in the first place with Casper but this was a faster way just to get across the border and to make it to Texas. Immigrants also have a lot of sympathy for others in which in this case, Casper was able to get Sayra on the other side by paying a guy to take her by water but at the last moment he was caught by the gang members and got killed by Smiley. But as you see on Sayra's big reaction, you see how highly it impacted her feelings because Casper was the closest friend that she had who was able to help her. In conclusion, Immigrants do have fear but there are some who are fearless but have sympathy for others because they know that all immigrants almost have the same expectation when you think of the American Dream. ]]> 2022-02-15 20:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049455898 jaidy https://padlet.com/alenzini/fum4e23axbg58kfm/wish/2049621825 The American Dream is what people think when coming to America for example living a happy and wealthy life.
