We the people are an IMMIGRATION NATION.
Immigration interests me because I can relate to the people that are suffering to improve their lives. I was pushed from El Salvador because of the violent gang situation; it wasn’t that good. I was pulled to the US to have a better future, learn the language and find a career.

Below are some Questions about immigrants in the US.
Is it possible to stop immigration?
We can’t stop immigration because people won’t give up too easily. Even if we try to stop, they still will come to the USA because they just want a better future for their children or even themselves. We can’t do much to stop it but we can put more security on the borders and at the airport to make the process safe.
Who were the first immigrants?
The first immigrants were English investors in Virginia and the puritan pilgrims of Massachusetts as they arrived for opportunity and freedom.
