Most immigrants come to the United States because we offer freedom. These immigrants come to the United States and are discriminated against because of their race, color, and nationality. Americans complain that immigrants are taking their jobs. Immigrants come here because they are able to get better jobs and make more money.
The United States offers a lot of freedom to immigrants. Most immigrants from China who come to the United States are poor and are in search of jobs. The poor Chinese are limited to jobs in China so they came to America. The Chinese are the largest group of immigrants in the United States. It all started in the 1800's during the Gold Rush. Many protests against the Chinese were held due to a lot of jobs being given to the Chinese. These immigrants come here hoping to make a lot of money. To most Chinese America represents freedom. They come here to get rid of the restrictions that were put on them in China. One restriction is that they are allowed to have only one child because of the high population. Many Chinese families end up putting their children up for adoption. Mostly girls are put up for adoption so the men can carry on the family name. Once these families move to the United States they are not limited to the number of children they are allowed to have. Since The Chinese have come to America they have made an enormous impact on our culture.
A lot of the immigrants in the United States come from Asia. Missionaries sent most of them to North America. People from India also came to America. Mainly immigration from India occurred in 1905. Mostly they immigrated to Canada, but when they started turning them away they worked their way down to Washington, Oregon, and California. They did labor work in those states on railroads and in lumber mills. After the Vietnam War, many more Asian immigrants started coming to the United States. Around 130,000 men, women, and children made it into the United States during that time because of American troops who came in and rescued people.
