WHY DO
PEOPLE
IMMIGRATE?

Immigration has always existed,

and it will be hard to avoid it or to
get rid of it. We, the people, are
used to always look for better
opportunities, caring less about the
borders it may have between.
We should keep dreaming, and
keep looking toward new
opportunities, and to always
achieve the best.

The main reason why people

immigrate, is known by everybody
as the American dream. This
means that in America it is way
easier to live a better life,
surrounded by new opportunities, a
safer place to live, and to grow
economically.
Most of the time is really hard to
accomplish this dream, and this is
because you have to be well
prepared in order to receive all the
opportunities presented.
