He was born in Syria, but his family moved to Saudi Arabia and when Laurel lived there, as a disabled man and a foreigner, he felt as if he was "a burden on society". So, he applied to learn English in the United States. He came on a student visa in 2013 and was then granted asylum in 2014. However, when he arrived in Los Angeles in 2013 he was homeless and couldn’t speak English. But, he was taken in by a family who also spoke Arabic, who enrolled him in school and connected him with a lawyer who helped him apply for asylum. He went through a terrifying interview process, where he detailed the fear that he felt if he had to return back in order to receive asylum. After his English became strong, he decided to move to New York. He got a job and his green card in 2015, in 2020 he'll be eligible to become a citizen. ]]> 2020-05-03 21:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kfiore2021/t57bs1fgnu5p61t3/wish/547601152 What specific events were acting as push and pull factors for your assigned group? kfiore2021 https://padlet.com/kfiore2021/t57bs1fgnu5p61t3/wish/547601155 The Muslim ban was a push factor because it did not allow any Syrian immigrants to enter the U.S.

Pull factors for Syrian immigrants were that most immigrants make good wages in the U.S. Syrian immigrant men make a median of 30,000 dollars a year upon arrival. Who have been here for about 10 years make 43,000 dollars a year, while those who have been here longer make a median of 63,000 dollars a year.
