Should I Stay or Should I Go?

What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.

I think that there are many reasons why immigrants come here to the united states today. One reason could be that they may have some money issues or family crisises. Another could be that they may not agree wit some changes they may have with there government. Although there maybe other reasons why they may move i feel as if the things they may loose the most is some family and friends. Because they have move to another country there may be a lot of different thing and ways of living for most people. The thing I think people would be able to gain would be finding new friend and maybe a better way of living because it would be something new then what they are originally use to.

Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?

If I decided to immigrate somewhere I would have to say both. If i had economics problems and i felt like that if i immigrated somewhere else it would help me and my child to live better and be happy i would do it with no hessitasion. even though i would have to leave all my friends and family i also would have to think about my family first. If it came down to me having to make some changes in my living for freedom i would immigrate also. I feel like my life and freedom is worth a lot more than someone trying to take it from me so i would do anything there is to make sure i have the freedom i want and need.
