Blog # 3 Immigration...Better life?
Immigration is constantly on the rise in the U.S. These people come here because they can have a chance to raise a family with better opportunities. However, when these families come they 1)must be legal...they have much paper work and many other things they have to complete before they are let in and 2) they are leaving everything they know and love to have a better life. In the case of the family moving to the U.S. (Chicago) it seems that their hearts and minds were to return to Mexico after they had succeeded. I think this situation is worse because they got greedy. They left their country with the intent to return but got use to living this lavish life style and wanted the big cars and big houses and lost track of why they came in the first place. In the end they put off moving in for a long time and then at the end of the chapter he wants to sell the house. I feel he loved his country but loved America more because that is where he found success. I feel they lost track of their vision...in which I feel all or most immigrants come with a vision. Immigrants need to stay focused on their dream...and if they want to return to their country after they have satisfied all they set out to accomplish then go back because no matter how much money you have the reality of it is money cannot buy you happiness.
