​ Is immigration good for the migrants themselves?

I think that it is not good for migrants themselves to go on
the trains and getting themselves hurt because when they
travel and they are too tired to do anything and so they fall
asleep and they fall and some die because they are up all
night or they are in a fight trying to defend themselves. To
be precise many migrants fall because of the journey to
the us and so there are many migrants who have many
bad things happening to them while they are trying to
make it here. For example,’’Enrique does not see the two
men who are behind the man. One man reaches enrique
and grabs him with both hands.someone else seizes him
from behind they slam him faced down.Take off everything
someone says, another swings a wooden club. It cracks
into the back of enrique’s head, then smacks his face.’’ pg
59. According to Sonia Nazario this tells me how enrique
and other migrants suffer from being in the trains and how
they get assault.Therefore this tells me how it is very
dangerous to go in the trains and how many other
migrants go through it too.

Is Immigration not good for the countries from which they are migrating? I
think that immigration is not good for the migrants from where they are
traveling from because they are leaving loved ones to journey to see their
parents or to work in the us. Because they don't have a good job where
they live and they don't get too much money and they see people or they
hear people get more money in the united states so they leave for the us
because they think that it is easy to get there but it really isn't they think that
they will just travel and there will be no danger but it i really not that easy
because they haven't done it yet. To be exact migrants don't really think
about it and just do it because for example enrique left to see his mother
and didn’t think about his sister,girlfriend or his grandma. For
example,’’Belly feels her stomach tighten. They have lived apart most of
their lives but he is the only one who understands her loneliness. Don't
leave,’’ she says tears welling up in her eyes. ‘’ i have to.’’Every Time
enrique talked to his other she warns him not to come it is too dangerous.
On march 2 2000 he goes to his grandmother, he hugs her then he steps
off.’’ This tells me how enrique only cares about himself and not his sister
and grandmother and he leaves like everything is going to be easy.
Is immigration good for the united states and its citizens?

I think that immigration is not good for the us and its citizens because some
migrants are good and some are bad some immigrants bring drugs or do
drugs and they sell it to people or immigrants do bad things to people and
they rob them or they rape them and they just do bad things to the people
that affect us in the U.S.To be exact immigrants come to the U.S to do
good things but there are also bad migrants that come here and do the
wrong things that affects us. For example enrique was a drug dealer and
he got drugs from other immigrants and they could come here and do
drugs or sell drugs and that makes our state bad and it makes us look bad.
According to Sonia Nazario this tells me how immigrants can be bad and
some can be good. Therefore immigrants can affect us and our country
because they do bad stuff or they do good stuff.
