Immigration is the act of leaving one’s country to settle in another. People from all over the world have come together in this land to form a unified country. This great nation of the United States of America has been built upon immigration. Year after year people leave their home country in hopes of finding something better in the United States. They leave their homes for economic, social, and political reasons, hoping that they will find the answer they are looking for here in the United States of America. Through struggle and hardship many immigrants better themselves and at the same time enrich the United States. They make economic, social, and political contributions. Immigrants leave their home countries either because of a push or a pull factor. A push factor is a force in an immigrant’s home country that makes them want to leave. It is a situation in their country that they no longer want to be around. A pull factor is a driving force an immigrant faces that makes them want to come to the United States. There might be an idea or an opportunity they see available in this country that makes them want to come here. Whether it is push or pull, once an immigrant is here they usually provide a contribution to America. Immigrants have been recognized as a valuable asset, contributing much to the development of America. Immigrants bring with them their culture, religion, economic benefits, and an ideology that makes America unique. Immigration has became such an important part of America that “the grand central motif of US history has been the impact of successive immigrant tides upon a New World environment, or the interaction of so-called ‘racial’ or immigrant, characteristics with the forces of American
