The United States is known as immigrant country. Many people came from all over the world for many reasons, such as religious persecution, economic difficulties, and racial tension, but the largest reason for coming to America was for freedom. The freedom to live where they can get better education, rising social status, increasing income, and nice future, they migrated to the United State. Most immigrants are from East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Migration was prominent among Asian people around 1800, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Philippine, Vietnamese and other ethnic groups. Some came here as refugees as they had no place to go. Although they came with a big hope, their lives have been struggling with sadness, dissatisfaction, tiredness and other obstacles. They scarify their lives for their family and countries. .
Burmese people are one of the migration people among other ethnic groups. My friend, Kyaw Kyaw is one of the immigrants who came to the United States. He left from Myanmar where is a country in South East Asia. Myanmar formerly called Burma was very beautiful and rich in natural resources before 1970. Everybody hoped that long live the republic of the Union of Myanmar. After the civil war, the military group of people governed the country without the human rights. Government controlled all the business, so people had no opportunity to do their own business. They said that the social structure of Myanmar is democratic with no caste system as the other country, but it was only a sham. They always attack with the neighbor's country, Bangladesh and Thailand. It was also meaningless for the people about their law and order.
Although Myanmar is an agricultural country, the people had to buy the rice with a higher price. The cost of goods was higher, and many people died of starvation and diseases cause by vitamin deficiency. There is no future for the young people to get their education.
