Unless you are a descendant of a Native American tribe, your family at some point was an immigrant to the United States. Answer and discuss the following questions. Remember to come back more than once to see if people have responded to you.
What were some of the problems that immigrants faced when they arrived in the United States?
Should the United States continue to allow immigrants into the United States?
What rights should new immigrants have once they get to the United States?
1)my family has no idea where we came from.
ReplyDelete2.)some of the problems immagrants faced when they got to the united states were that they had money to support themselfs let alone if they brought family with them they also did not know the united states costoms when they got here.
3.)i think the united states should allow immagrants beceause some other places dont have the same life style as we do now and we could help people live the life they diserve
4.)i think all immagrants should have the same rights we do now so they can feel like a normal us citizin and get the job they want and let their kids go to school also.
My family and I have no idea where we came from either!
Delete1) I have no idea were my family came from but, i do know one of my very great grandparents was abord The White Star Line's Titanic. The story is a favorite to tell. My great grandparents told my whole family, and the person did die i belive.
Delete2) Some had no money. Some had no place to live. Some had nothing. And meny didn't even make it.
3) yes we should because they could be tring to hide from a bad person or something like that.
4)They should have every right because the have just become an United States citizen.
right i know everybody desvres to go to a school to get a greate education
Deletei dont think my mom has any idea of where her family came from. It is hard to know. learning about immigrants and what they had to face has really made me glad that i live now where there arent as many really bad problems like discrimination
Deletemy mom's side of the family came from Germany. my grandma was just a little girl when her family moved. my dads side came from Italy. My dad looks very Italian be I look more German. I'm sure a lot of immigrants were coming to America with no clue what America even was so it made it quite difficult to find I job. I think that America should still allow immigrants to come to America because everyone deserves a second chance and finding a new life in a different place is one way to start over.
DeleteFor if immigrants should have the same rights as others is everyone should be treated equally.
DeleteI agree with your view on immigrant rights. IMMIGRANTS ARE PEOPLE TOO!
DeleteI think the United States should continue to allow immigrants into the United States because it allows them to get a head start on life and have a better education.Some new rights new immigrants should have is getting somewhere to stay if they are poor.Another right should be is to give them a big check so they can move into a house.Some problems when new immigrants arrived into the United States are not having the rights they should have. The United States is a free country and we all should be treated equal.
ReplyDeletei agree with you! all people should be treated equaly no matter what!
DeleteWell if we dont have enough jobs then theres no sence in coming here because that mostly what hteir coming here for. And if they do come here there just going to be homeless because they cant aford to live like they want too...<3
Deletei agree with some things you say but... i dont think that we should be giving money away to the immigrants because they should earn it AND it we would have to create a new tax to fund it i hope you see my point and im stating my opinion not trying to change yours
DeleteI agree because the immigrants should be allowed to come to united states and they should be equal just like everybody else that comes over and immigrants should be able to get jobs and other stuff.
Deletewell said
Delete1.My ancestors were italian dutch britsh(moms side) and Russian polish and Ukrainian on my dads side
Delete2.problems immigrants faced when they arrived were not knowing the language and not being able to get a job
3.the us should continue to let immigrants into the country because it can give people a better life
4.new immigrants should have all the rights everyone else does as long as there legal citizens
I do and do not agree. people should get a free educations no matter who you are. But when you get older some people do not use their educations for jobs then some of those people will become poor.But use the education you get when you get here and learn it to get ajob and not be poor, this way if every one did that it would be even more fair.
DeleteI really don't know when my ancestors came to the united states and thanks for all the replies ill comment back soon.
DeleteIm adopted and i got a green card and stuff and im treated the same.
DeleteLanguage and the ability to secure employment seems to have been common problems for many of our ancestors. I agree that people can potentially have a better life in the US and that we as a country should allow immigration to continue.
Deletei agree i think everybody should be equal
DeleteIf immigrants don't have money or skills then we have to train them to be good at something and the government have to give the people that don't have money and that puts us in more dept.
Deletei agree, anyone should be allowed to at least live in america
DeleteI agree that anyone should be allowed in America but at some point in the future there's not going to be enough land for everybody.
DeleteEveryone should be allowed to live in America if they at least try and get a job and work for their rights and not just use us because we have a good system!
DeleteYea, having more literate people in the US could be an opportunity
DeleteI think that immigrants should have the rights to be brought to the United States so they can live a normal life just like we do.So they can have a job and life free and enjoy special things but all immigrants should be equal just like we all are.My parents don't know anything about immigrants and where everything happened ,and the United States should allow immigrants to be in the US. When immigrants should have all rights to get a job or make money some how and get a house where there family can be safe and not living on the streets but everybody should be equal no matter what happens in life.
ReplyDeleteThat is true but think about it this way.. if immigrants come over to the United States, a few terrorists might come over and bomb the United Sates or even worse! I do agree with you tho. Theres kind of no right or wrong answer for question number 3!
Deletei do agree with you but if immigrants were continuing to come here then they will need jobs and we will have to pay them and the rest of people in the world so if they continued to come here we would have to pay them the money and also theres already bad people in the world
DeleteSome of the problems immagrants faced in the united states was not finding jobs. The immagrants came to the united states with no money and no where to live. They would struggle to find jobs but most would go to the city to work in factories and would save up the little money they had from the jobs, Also the immagrants faced not being able to do the things american citizens could do. They would struggle to speak english and would have trouble contacting people.
ReplyDeleteIts very hard being an immigrant, but for them come to this country...it must have been harder being a citizen in their home country.
Deletei know right its like with all the problems the immigrants faced you would think they would want to go home. But i guess they dont so i just cant imagine what they had to deal with back home in their old country. if they didnt want to leave.
Delete1) My family came from many places. some of these places include germany, england, ireland, scotand, italy, and many more.
ReplyDelete2)Some of the problems immigrants faced when coming to the united states involved money issues. they didnt have much to their names when they came here and that made it harder for them to find a place to live. they also had issues adjusting to the american life.
3)The United States should continue to alllow immmigrants inti our country because it alllows them to get a head start on their lives.
4)new immigrants should have the rights to have help getting a place to live, and also they should be given a certain amount of money as they enter the country. just enough to get them started...you know what i mean???
the only thing that i dont get is, if we allow immagrents to have a place to live,where will these homes be? its not like we just ahve room in this country to make 200,000 home.
DeleteMy opinion about if the United States should let immigrants into America should be only if they have skills and money. If they don't have any money then the government has to give them money and that puts us in more dept.
Deletewe can put up small apartments meant for mostly immigrants and they can live there only until they can afford a new place to live...and we are already trillions of dollars in debt so i don't think it would matter...everyone is always talking about how great our government is and i disagree with that because we cant even afford to pay our debt. honestly i do not believe that it would hurt our economy much more than all of these experiments that are failing and no one even hears of them and yet they cost billions of dollars...there is my argument...
Deletei agree but where will they live and how much money will they get. but i think they should get a certain amount of money when coming into the united states.
DeleteI get your point I agree that people should be allowed this kind of good opportunity. 'MURICA!
Delete1. I was adopted from japan.
ReplyDelete2. Immagrents had no money and they couldnt bring very many of there things.
3. I think there should be more immagrents because there should be more cultures in our county.
4.Immagrents should get money to get started or get some fod and cloths at least.
I do think that there should be more immigrants, especially because of the culture. The U.S. is a boiling pot and should stay that way.
DeleteI agree that our country should get more cultures, but people are harder to trust, back then we knew no one had some sort of weapon that could be the size of ur hand that could kill thousands of people.
Deletemy great grandpa originally came from Sicily, Italy. He came in the 1900's on a boat with many other immigrants. He told me when i was littler that, the boat was cramed. There was not much space because a lot of people wanted to come to the United States. When he got here he wasn't used to the life style of U.S. citizens. My grandpa got called a lot of bad names and people did cruel things to him. he didn't like it at all at first but then people got used to him. My grandpa became friends with many different kinds of people and ended up fitting in well.
ReplyDeleteMy Great Grandmother came from France. Some problems that the immigrants faced when they got here was that they didnt have any money because the didnt have jobs. Also that the immigrants were very cramed on the boat. I think that the United States should allow immigrants should come to the United Staes because if the dont have jobs they can get some money. Some rules that the immigrants should get is that they can work when they want. Immigrants should be treated equal as others.
ReplyDelete1: my family came from poland
ReplyDelete2: they faced a large number of problems like bad conditions on the boat like fast spreading of diease they also had to get used to the cultrual norms of the united states (which isnt easy) it was hard for them to learn and understand english they were also very poor and had an overall hard time living their new lives
3: the united states should continue to allow immigrants BUT they should have some kind of an inspection to make sure they arent terroists
4: unless arrested new immigrants should have the same rights as normal united states citizen
It sounds like your family had a similar experience to that of my ancestors with regard to language barriers and money. I too believe that immigrants should be allowed to come to the US as long as there is a formal process.
Deletehey my family came from poland as well
DeleteImmagrants faced a lot of problems when they arrived in the US. Some of those problems were they did not under stand english, so they did not know what people were telling them. Also thet did not have any money to pay for a place to stay somewhere or eat.Immagrants don't know how to use things like spoons and forks. Immagrants also faced deases that could lead to death.they did not have that much room on the boat so it was cramped.The United States should continue to let immagrants into the country because they need a better place to live and probably need a job. New immagrants should be almost as equal as us americans.I do not know whenmy ancesters came hear and where they came from.
ReplyDeleteI think it is terrible that all these diseases were spread throughout the ship, mostly because of the horrible living conditions they had. Plus, when the immigrants got to America they had to go through a bunch of tests to see if they were sick. i bet a lot of the immigrants weren't allowed into the US because of the diseases they got on the boat. Which is terrible because i bet a lot of the people were good and just wanted a better life but had to go back to their old country.
DeleteI would be so scared if i came to a new country and knew none of their customs or language
DeleteEverybody speaks different lanuages from all around the world but even if they dont know our languages we can help them and even if your new to the country I would actually be happy to be in a new world instead of being in the same country.Immagrants maybe new to our country they are probably happy or not to be here but at least they have food and stuff that they never had before.New immagrants are shy but they will get use to being in our country and to this day new immagrants are still comming over to our country, and i have basically a dopted brother but he came from a different country but hes happy to be here instead of not being here and some of them don't have diseases and they can get that tooken care of but the little ones need a better place to be and tooken care of.
DeleteThe United States should allow immigrants to the U.S since they should be treated equally as us Americans and it will be a relif for them since most immigrants have a hard time traveling with crowded people less food and dieases spreading like wildfire and seasickness if traveling on boat and if we give them this favor we all have been doing a great thing for immigrant that should be treated just like us equally.
ReplyDeletei agree with you
Deletei agree with you too you have a very good point
Deletei agree everyone should be treated equally even if they arent from this country
DeleteSome of the problems immigrants faced when they come to the United States was that they had to first adjust to the ways the americans lived.They had to find a place to live with their family.They had to find jobs to counitue to support their family. I think that the United States should stop letting immagrants in just for now because we dont have that many jobs right now and if they do come here their going to take all the jobs that are left and it wouldnt make sence to keep making more citizens homeless cause they cant find jobs to pay their bills. Immagrents should have the same rights that everyone eles have, they should be treated equaly. The United States is a free country and thats what immagrents are coming here for so thats what they are going to get.....<3
ReplyDeleteIf we can't get jobs, then that means immigrants will be able to find jobs jobs and will end up on social services like other people in this country..
DeleteWell we all can get jobs its just more complicated then what we all think. Immagrants are new but there just like everyone else. We all should be equal because that should not be right if immagrants are not equal just like we are.
DeleteI agree that there won't be much room for immigrants in the future, but now there is still plenty of homes and jobs. still, America should start to limit the amount of people move here
Delete1.) I don't know where my ancestors came from.
ReplyDelete2.)Some problems that immigrants faced when they came to the United States are,
that the immigrants didn't understand English very well. they also had problems
listening to what people were saying to them.
3.)I think that the United States should let immigrants in to the country only if they have a passport for the safety of our country.
4.) the right to get a i.d. card and the right to do anything they want with their life.
I agree with Number # 3 on your post garbagepizza54:). People should be allowed into the United States but you should take certain precautions before letting them in so no one will be harmed. They could like do background checks and stuff and make sure like no terrorists or anything is coming in.
DeleteI agree!! Do you think immigrants should be forced to take at least 2-4 years of college so they understand America and learn english if they do not understand? Immigrants are going to have to get a job to survive here in America so I think that their college should be paid for but then they pay the government back, over a period of time, when they earn money.
DeleteSome of the problems immigrants faced when they arrived in the U.S were people having to go back to there home country.Anothe problem they faced when coming to america was disease and it spread because many people because of the people crowded together on ships because of the poor living and eating conditions.Also the did not speak the language and were discrimanated by alot of people.These are some of the most challenging problems imagrints faced while coming to america
ReplyDeleteI agree that those were all challenging problems. Personally, out of all the problems that you named, I think that discrimination was the biggest problem of all. Many people had to live with this, and it was very hard on their feelings.
DeleteIf someone told me I had to go back home after that LONG trip i would be so devastated
DeleteI think that immigrants should be treated equally immigrants should not be judged by their appearance/ their religion its just not fair to them.... immigrants should have the right to say what they want to say. they should also have as much freedom as people from they U.S because its not fair that people from the U.S should only have freedom and not immigrants.... also people should be nice and pleased that the immigrants chose to come to America because the immigrants didn't have to come to America... So people should be respectful to the new immigrants.
ReplyDeletetrue but there will come the time when we dont have any time for any people to live in this country. I think this country is already over populated.
DeleteI agree they do NOT deserve to be judged but they shouldn't be allowed to have every right that we have right away. They need to become a citizen before they earn every right that we have.
DeleteA lot of people immigrate to the U.S. because we are a welcoming country and don't treat citizens the same way that their countries did. There are also a lot of opportunities here. I also think that they should come here legally.
DeleteI agree with 31 dive on the fact the country is overpopulated. however, even though the country is overpopulated, people move out of America everyday making room for immigrants
DeleteWhen immigrants arrived in the U.S the Americans treated them harshly. For example the immigrants got paid less than the normal Americans did. Also they were made fun of because they did not know English. Last but not least people made fun of them because of their looks and their religion. People should not be HATERS.
ReplyDeleteI think the U.S should still allow immigrants. I think we should because we have a lot to offer for a little amount of people unlike countries like japan with their population.
We should have rules for immigrants for when they move here. They should have their birth certificate and they should have their records check. If their record is bad they should not be allowed in the U.S.
I agree with you mr.nice guy, but what if they were bad and their record shows that.However people move to America for a fresh start.Do you think that they deserve it?I do.
Delete1. My ancestors came from Ireland, Germany, England, and Scotland. I don't know when though.
ReplyDelete2. Some problems that immigrants faced when the arrived to the United States were that they kind of got bullied because of their religions, the languages the spoke, and their skin color. They also had a hard time finding jobs and places to live.
3. I think the United States should allow immigrants because it's the right thing to do. Most of the time, they come here to start a new life because their old one isn't very good. They also come here to escape war, starvation, and religious persecution. So they should be able t emigrate so they can start a brand new life.
4. I also think that immigrants should have rights. For example, they should be considered American citizens. They should also have the same rights as any American. Like, freedom of speech, and religion, right to bear arms, citizenship, right to vote, income tax, women's suffrage, and so on and so forth.
I agree that the Untited States allowing immigration is the right thing to do. If someone is in a bad state (mentaly speaking, not literally a bad state as in place in the world) it is your job to help them and let them have a chance at a better life.
DeleteThat is a lot of places that your ancestors have come from.
DeleteI don't exactly agree because immigrants should not be allowed to just have every right that we have right away because I feel they need to earn it. You don't know who they are they could be terrorists or sleeper cells. It's like they don't live here and if they come here it's like they already are considered Americans even if they don't live here. Could you explain to me why you feel they should have the same rights?? (AWKWARDPOTATO17)?
Deletemy ancestors came from the united states / Brockport and I don't know really when.
ReplyDeletemy ancestors are mostly irish and english
I have a very diverse family. my family is from Ireland, Poland,Germany and Italy.
ReplyDeleteSome problems immigrants had was segragation and promblems with our social behaviors.Not everyone was treated fairly.
I think that the us should contunue to allow immigrants to come to america. When they come they should get the rights of basic citizens and everything in our bill of rights.
my family came mostly from Poland and i have one family member from ireland
Delete1. My ancestors are Native Americans and African. My African ancestors originated from the Ivory Coast and bought to this country as slaves.
ReplyDelete2. Many immigrants from different countries were treated badly because of their darker colored skin.
3. No, because of the diseases and other harmful bacteria that causes health problems.
4. They should have the same rights as the citizen of the United States.
my family came to the united states in 1927. they came from verona italy. some of the problems that my family faces was sicknes disease and not able to understand every body. the united states should still allow imigants.Immigrants should be able to have a job right away.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! our famileys came from the same place around the same time
Deletei agee with u cheese mouse 69 that is just what i sead
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors immigrated to the United States from a variety of countries in the early 1900's. All were originally from Europe, including the following countries, Italy, France, England, Germany, Ireland and Scotland. According to my grandparents, my ancestors faced multiple problems upon entering the United States. More specifically, they experienced language barriers, particularly those from, Italy, France and Germany. Additionally, it was hard for them to secure employment sufficient enough to provide for their families. Furthermore, my ancestors had a difficult time being accepted into the country and basically experienced racism. With regard to continuing to have immigrants permitted to enter the United States, I believe that immigrants should be given the opportunity to come into the country. Although I believe that immigrants should continue to be allowed, I do think there should be a formal process, whereby potential candidates indicate exactly why they feel inclined to come to the United States. Essentially, the United States was built by immigrants and it would be somewhat contradictory to no longer permit immigration to occur. I also embrace the diversity that immigration fosters. Lastly, over a specified period of time, immigrants should be allowed to earn equal rights, such as voting and citizenship. Even though I am the fourth generation since my ancestors arrived in the US, I still have strong ties to my roots and believe that future immigrants will feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing blog! You sure put in a lot of detail. So since you're the 4th generation, your great-grandparents and their relatives came to America? Cool! Wish I had ancestry from so many other countries.
DeleteMy ancestors came from central Italy in the 1960s, and Germany, but I don't know how long ago they came from Germany or what part they were from.
ReplyDeleteBut when all immigrants came here, they faced all similar problems. On the boat over there was limited space, people passing on illness, and limited food. And when they got here, they had to live with unpleasant homes and people. Many were mean to the new comers and treated them poorly.
I believe that those people had no right treating the immigrants poorly and that immigrants should be welcome to the United States. However, the immigrants should also have to become a citizen before they are given their equal rights of voting, etc.
I agree. Immigrants shouldn't be treated the same until they become a citizen or it really wouldn't be fair fro people who already live here.
Deletei also agree with that.
DeleteI agree its not fair to the people who are already citizens
Delete1.) I am not sure what year my ancestors came to the United States but what I do know, is that they came from Italy.
ReplyDelete2.) The biggest problem that immigrants had to face was language. They had difficulty speaking and understanding what to do and how to do it. Most immigrants settled in places where their neighbors spoke the same language. Another problem was that they had to find jobs. Finding a job was difficult for most immigrants because of the language problem. People discriminated each other about religion, race, language etc.
3.) In my opinion, I do not think that we should keep letting immigrants come into the United States. I think this because the world is different now a days and there are more crimes committed each day and the world is not as safe as it used to be. I feel that letting other people come into the United States allows terrorism. I just think that we would be a safer country if people weren't allowed to immigrate over here anymore.
4.) Once immigrants get to the United States I think that they all should have equal rights. I think both men and women should have the right to vote. I also think they should have the right to worship whichever God or religion that they choose to worship without discrimination.
nice blog! i too agree that terrorism is becoming a serious problem these days. although, i dont belive this will be solved by stopping immigration. it will only make tension between the countries.... along that line, the terrorist problem you were addressing might be solved by asking for proper identification when immigrants are coming into america.
Delete1. My ancestors came from Germany or Prussia around 1860. Some of the problems immigrants faced when they arrived is not having jobs or suitable jobs. They didn't know much so they had to find jobs in big factories getting paid almost nothing. Also, not knowing the native language must have been tough for immigrants moving from places with a whole different language. I believe the United States should keep letting immigrants come into the United States because just like back in the olden days the people are looking for a better life and what better place than the USA. Rights immigrants should have when they get to the United States is the right to be treated equally like everyone else, and just be able to have a good life just like anyone else in our country.
ReplyDeleteI feel stupid but what is Prussia?
Delete@nqwprz4 i think he just spelled Russia wrong that might not be it but it is what i think he means
DeleteMy great grandparents came from Puerto Rico.
ReplyDeletereally? that is soooo cool. would you mind telling me all about how and why they came here? what were the push/pull factors and when exactly did they come?
DeleteMy great-great grandfather became a citizen of the U.S. in 1888. We don't know when he actually arrived. Prior to immigrating he served in the Prussian army while in Germany. Another great-great grandfather came over as a baby. His father was a carpenter by trade. He was hired to do carpentry work on the boat as payment for the voyage to the U.S. They immigrated to the U.S. in 1830 from Germany.
ReplyDeleteProblems immigrants may have faced were language barriers, no income, lack of skill, housing, food, clothing, and no moral support.
I believe that the U.S. should continue to allow immigrants to enter. I believe this because immigrants are the ones who founded our country.
I think that immigrants should be allowed to have the same rights as everybody else because they are trying to fit in and should be permitted to.
Some of the immigrants did not understand English when they moved to America, and also didn't understand some of the culture. They didn't have the same skin tone, so they were treated poorly.
ReplyDeleteI think that immigrants should be able to move to the United States if they want as long as they don't cause any problems.
ReplyDeleteIf you mean they bring in diseases then I disagree. They can get treated!
Deletei agree
Deletei agree very much
DeleteI disagree on that for one reason. When someone immigrates, they have money issues,not a very good job, and are barely supporting themselves usually, not always the case. Over time the government will have to support them, which means the economy goes down and it hurts the U.S.
Deleteagreed but could you be a little more specific on how they could cause problems? are you addressing terrorism or something different?
DeletePeople should be able to do what they want. Just because they look different doesn't mean they should get treated any different. They cant help what they look like so its only fair that they get treated equally.
ReplyDelete@baller I agree with you 100%!!!
DeleteI agree!!!!
Deletei agree
Deletei agree just because people are different doesnt give others the write to disrespect them. they should all be treated the same
DeleteI agree!
DeleteI also agree.
DeleteImmigrants had to face discrimination because they were different. If they had diseases they got sent back from whereever they came from. Officials tested them for certain diseases that could spread.and tools used to test them were unsanitary were put in to small rooms with nasty bathrooms and drinking water.
ReplyDeleteNo immigrants should not be able to come to the united states because were in lots of dept and we cannot afford to pay another person.
I disagree about immigrants not being able to come to the u.s. because everyone goes through tests and they could get jobs and an education. I see what you are saying though about how we are in dept
DeleteSome of the problems that immigrants faced when they came into the country were racial discrimination,religious persecution and some could not find jobs. For example the Chinese were hated so much because of there race,color of there skin,language, and religion that Americans created the Chinese Exclusion Act.
ReplyDeletewhat are your thought about the chineze exclusion act? do you think it was unfair? cruel? terrible? rebeling?
DeleteYes, I think that the United States should allow immigrants into the country because it helps add ethnicity and everyone deserves a chance at a good life, and that is what America offers. For example people from different countries all over the world come for another shot like for education,jobs, and to make businesses.
ReplyDeleteI believe that immigrants should have all the same rights as an regular American citizen. I believe this because they were excepted into the country so they should have the same rights as everyone else in this country. Also immigrants help contribute to the country like taxes and so on, this is another reason they should have the same rights as us.
ReplyDeleteI believe immigrants coming into the country should have financial support, so they can food and a place to live. Immigrants should also have their first years of community college free. Also I think the government should help them get a plan and advice on where to go. Lastly they should have a therapist to help them with the frustrations situations.
ReplyDelete1. Im not sure when my ancestors came to America but i believe they came from Germany
ReplyDelete2. Immigrants weren't treated well because they were very different and couldn't understand our customs
ReplyDelete3. America should continue to allow some immigrants but there shoulf be a limit 4. They should be given the test to become an American citizen before they can come into America
ReplyDeleteYes immigrants do have to take tests to come into the country because they need green cards and citizenship.
Deletei agree with the test part but why in only a limit of 4
DeleteThey do get test before they come here though.
Deletei dont belive the test part is fair!
Delete1. I dont know what year they came but i do know that they came from Germany and Ireland. 2. Some problems the immigrants had was the language they spoke because it was probably hard to learn a new complete language and not know like anything about that language. Another problem is some people criticized the immigrants with the religion they believed in, there race, etc. 3. I think immigrants should not keeping coming into the United States. I think this because if you keep letting more and more immigrants into the United States then soon or later they will take up jobs and you will have to pay them so they could have money for there family. 4. Once the immigrants get into the United States they should get the same rights as an ordinary person because they should be treated equally. So they should be able to to practice there own religion and language.
ReplyDeleteMy ancesisters came from German and Ireland.Some problems that the immigrants faced when they arrived in the u.s is their jobs,language, and religion.Yes the United states should allow imigrants into the united states because then they can be tought so many things like how they can read and so they can take hats off in fancy places.Some rights when immigrants get to the United states is posture and responsbility and they should also have politeness.So people can be the same as we are with anything
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors also came from Germany and Ireland. when did ur ancestors immigrate?
Deletemy acestors came for ireland too, mine also came for jobs but there weren't alot of jobs that they we able to do though.
Delete1) My ancestors came from India in 1977.
ReplyDelete2) Some problems immigrants faced were to get past the medical exams and if you did not have a disease you might get one because of the tools. They don't clean them.
Some people came for land and others for jobs.
3) I think that immigrants should still be allowed in the united states because that would only be fair I mean we're not cruel people saying that you can't come in just because you have a disease. The immigrants can get treated!
4) Some rights the immigrants have when they get into the United States should be to be free to express their religion and not be treated cruely just because of different colored skin.
Have you ever been to India?
Deletesome problems that the imigrents faced was thing like the tests they have to take like the litiary test the test for didiese and they could not carry many belongings with them on the ship
ReplyDeletei do think that imigrents should be allowed it the us because that wold allow them to open businesses withes makes jobs for other people witch will help everyone.
ReplyDeleteimmigrants should have the same rights as we have because that is why some of them are coming over to the U.S
ReplyDeletei agree everyone should be equal no matter where you are from
Deletethis is the exact thing i think they wouldent have to worry about passing medical tests and not knowing how to speak are languge if they just had the same laws as us then they could stay there at there own country
DeleteI believe they should have most of the same rights as we have I just don't believe they should get into college over us.
Deletei agree and disagree because everyone should be treated equally but we don't know who everyone is and who they are. they should still do the tests because most immigrants come for education and/or jobs.
DeleteI have no Clue were my ancestors come from,i know i have basically ancestors from a lot of nationalities ..... Some problems immigrants faced were discrimination, lack of a common language,and lack of common customary routines...... Should immigrants still be allowed in the USA, yes and no. Yes if they can show were they would have a steady job and improve are economy,while no for some who come to America to wing it and when all is said in done actually make are economy worse than before.(like that's possible)...... Immigrants should have the same rights as a USA citizen, if they are legal immigrants.
ReplyDeletethey also lacked knowledge and supplies
Delete1.) My ancestors immigrated from Portugal in the early 1900's. My other ancestors came from England in the late 1900's.
ReplyDelete2.) It was hard for some immigrants to come to America because some people didn't know how to speak English. It was also hard because it was problable really hard to find a home and job right away.
3.) I think the United States Of America should let immigrants in to the US only if They have lots of skills and have some money so our government doesn't have to pay for them.
4.) Immigrants should have the same rights as other people that have been living here for a while.
Some immigrant came here to be taught skills though. I think they should be able to take a course when they first come to america instead of being booted out because they had poor educatoin in their homeland...
DeleteYears before I was born, at the time of about 1985, my grandparents with their 4 kids (including my dad in his teens). In 1999,my dad went back to "the homeland" (Russia) propose to my mom. When my parents got married, they both came to America. I was born a year later. When other immigrants came to the U.S. , they faced way more problems than my family. First off, lots of immigrants looked really different compared to other Americans. For example, the Asians (such as Chinese) had different shaped eyes and skin tone. Many of these immigrants were made fun of by other Americans. And, many of those immigrants didn't speak English very well. This made it harder for them to communicate with other people. Even the cultures that the immigrants had became an issue. A lot of the older immigrants didn't want to change their cultures. For example, Yiddish women wore wigs. The Yiddish people also didn't go to work on Saturday. ( Some people did to support their families). The wigs looked kind of awkward and going to work on Saturday was a NO. The immigrants just a difficult time fitting in. The U.S. should continue to let immigrants come here because many people have important cause to come here even today. Some people come to get religious freedom like my family or to escape persecution. Once immigrants come to the U.S., they should have rights. They should be able to change their names if they wish to give them a sense of reassurance if they are being persecuted, and made sure they have somewhere to go because if they have nowhere to go, they could get lost, or hurt.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool, but I want to know why your dad went home to propose to your mom instead of her going to him?
DeleteI absolutely agree with you. They came here for a reason and they should get that, especially if they came for religious freedom and persecution.
DeleteMy ancestors came from Italy, in the year 1903. Some problems immigrants faced when they came were discrimination, they also had a difficult time communicating with other ppl. It was difficult because they did not speak the language. The United States should continue to allow immigrants in the country. They should do that because the United States is a melting pot. Also immigrants add culture and different customs to society. when new immigrants come to America they should have the same rights as any citizen would have.
ReplyDeletemy ancestors came from Italy too! Do you know what part yours came from?
Deleteits interesting that you know the exact year that they came here
Deletewe are not really sure where in Italy my family came from. Do you know where in Italy your ansestors came from??
DeleteMy parents gave me all these papers to look through of almost all my ancestors. There are all these documents telling where my ancestors came from and a ton of other stuff. I thought it was really cool to look through it and read about my ancestors that i never met.
Deletecool can u came from Italy i did
Deletenot
My ancestors came to America from Italy in the early 1900's, I don't know the exact year. Some of the problems immigrants faced when they arrived in the United States is all of the tests they had to go through. For example, they had to check the immigrants eyes to see if they were ill. If the immigrants were ill, they had to go back to where they came from, they could not enter the United States. Another problem is most of the immigrants didn't speak english. As you could imagine, this was a huge problem because they could get into trouble for not doing the right thing because they don't understand because they don't speak english. I think the United States sould continue to allow immigrants into the United States because the U.S. is full of more oppourtunities than some other countries. Also, we have more freedom than some other places. I think everyone should have that oppourtunity. Once new immigrants come to the United States, I believe they should have all of the rights Americans have because they are sort of an American now.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother on my dad's side came from Jamaica and my grandmother on my mom's side was adopted but she knows she is part Irish. Lastly my great great great great grandma was a slave from Africa.
ReplyDeletethat's really cool to know that ur great great great great grandmother was a slave, I wish I knew that much about my family's history
DeleteMy ancestors also are from south Africa but the gene is stronger.
Deletewow that is cool im a flapper 2.0
ReplyDeleteImmigrants should still be allowed to come to The United States because it would be wrong and in 7th grade when i read a story called "The Melting Pot". It descirbed how all people are the same and that coming over to america to share their religon and culture. So i do belive that immigrants should keep coming to the United States
ReplyDeleteSalvatore Lombardo is my great, great grandfather. He was born in 1903. He then came here to America in 1918 from Italy. He faced some struggles during the time he immigrated here. He could not speak a word of English when he got here, it was hard for him to find a job, and lastly he was VERY poor. Immigrants should still be allowed to immigrate here. I believe that they shouldn't be allowed to have all the same rights we have though. They should be allowed to live where they want, but until they become a citizen they shouldn't be allowed to have the same rights people born in America have. It wouldn't be fair for people who live here because you do NOT know if they could be terrorists or truly what they could be. But just like pretty much everyone's family started from an immigrant, which is great thing that people who now want to immigrate here should be able to do This is my belief of rights of immigrants.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you say about all not having all the same rights as born u.s. citizens. I like how you thought that they could be terrorists or some sort of threat to us because we truly don't know every little detail about the immigrants who come here and if they are lying to us or not.
Delete(1).my family comes from Italy England Germany Native American and Scotland. (2) . immigrants had problems with finding jobs and adjusting to the American culture.(3) I think the USA should allow immigrants into our country for a small tax. (4). I believe immigrants should start out with a 4th of of the American wrights and slowly earn them over time if they don't break the law
ReplyDeleteI disagree with #4 because everybody should have the same rights has a normal American citizen as long as they have their papers. Having a 4th of American rights is not fair because that's not what the U.S. is about and they just want to be FREE
DeleteSome problems that immigrants face when arriving to America was the health checks. If they got sick on the way over they would have to try and hide it or be faced with going back home. Many of the immigrants had no idea how to speak English and knew no American customs, so they were pretty much had to relearn everything from eating to manners. It was very difficult for them to make an honest living when some employers under paid them. Also some immigrants were discriminated because of their race or skin color, the nativist (people against immigration) tried to make it illegal for immigrants to come into America.
ReplyDeleteYes the United States should allow immigrants to come here. It is a free country where in other countries you are penalized for your religion or race. In America everyone has a chance to be equal and to fit in. Some people come to get away from a war, people should always be able to pick where they feel the safest during war or at any time.
New immigrants should have all the rights that American citizens do. Once they are in this country they should be treated just as everyone else is. Just because they are not a citizen doesn't mean that they should have equality. If someone from Greece commits a crime he or she should be sentenced the same as someone else who did the same crime as them.
I agree with what u said about the immigrants should be able come into America, but you also said they might do this to get away from war. well what if an immigrant came into our country and started a war with us. you cant trust everyone these days, not even the most normal people.
DeleteMy ancestors came to America from Scotland about 60 years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhen immigrants come to the United States they face many problems. They may not look the same, have the same religion, or speak the same language and can be discriminated because of such things.
The United States should allow immigrants to still come here. It opens up the spread of culture through out the world, and helps people start new lives in a new place for the better.
Lastly, immigrants should have the same rights that Americans get in the Constitution, as long as the become legal citizens. Although, they come from different places they should be allowed the same rights as the people from here.
I agree with the fact that immagrants should be treated the same. I mean, whats the difference between us and them? we were once immagrants and we have all our rights!
DeleteI definitely agree with you on how the culture should spread and allow immigrants to come to America because this will just build this democracy to something better and learning new cultures from different and could be very interesting
DeleteMy great-grandparents came to the U.S. from China. I don't know when they came over to the United States. Some of the problems immigrants faced when they arrived in the U.S. was that they didn't know English, which made it hard to communicate with other people in America. Also immigrants didn't know the American culture so they didn't fit in as well as other people. I think at a certain point in time they should stop letting immigrants into the country. My reasoning for this is that in time, if enough immigrants come, they would take up many job spots that could have gone to another person who was born in the U.S. Another reason is that when immigrants come over, they usually are poor and don't have a lot of money, which means in time the government will have to pay for their basic needs and the government will lose money. They should have the same rights as everyone else because America is supposed to be a free country, so everybody should be equal.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you because I feel the same way on hoe everyone should be treated the same way but I disagree with you on they should eventually stop letting immigrants in or come to America because people come here for better life's and want the same things we want in life, also they would have a better place for there family to stay and to be FREE most importantly.
Deletei think that the imagrents should have the same laws as us so that way they dont have to worry about haveing to speak are languge or passing medical test and they wouldent have to be on a ship with a whole bunch of people for like ten days
ReplyDeletei agree. everyone is equal. no matter who they are. espicially if they come to America. They should be like everyone else. i mean thats what they came to america for right?
DeleteI have no idea where family came from because my mom was a adopted. Immgarnts had a hard time beacuse the were crowed ships there were deias. It was hard because some of them could not speak english. They are accthed to their habits and ways. Yes we should because it helps us with alies and also it heilp us not get in a war. They sholud not have to take a litcery test to come here. They also shuld not be manhanddle.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors came from Ireland and Germany, and they came in the late 1800s. They were treated not exactly like a real American but pretty close. The reason why is because they were Christian and didn't look really any different. I do believe that the U.S. should keep letting immigrants into the country and I do think they have the right to get education, but I don't believe that they should get into college before the people that were born in the U.S. The reason why is because we became citizens when we were born here and immigrants were citizens after they came to the U.S. That's one thing I don't think they should have. The rights I do believe they should have is the right to have jobs, education and own property. The reason why is because they came here for those things sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about how Americans (born here) should get privileges before immigrants that were not born here. I also agree about the rights you said and why.
DeleteI agree with you that all the immigrants coming into the country should have the right to jobs and education and to own property
Delete1)my ancestors came from Poland but I'm not sure when they came to America
ReplyDelete2)problems immigrants faced were segregation and such
3)i believe that the us should continue to let immigrants in because many need jobs or better pay and their country can not offer those things
4)immigrants should have all the right of an American citizen
I don't know much about my ancestors or where they came from and neither does most of my family. But I do know that once immigrants came to America, it wasn't easy!
ReplyDeleteFor some immigrants, getting used to America's customs was completely new to them. Others had already had family members that had been to or lived in America so they new a little about it. Finding jobs and fitting in was another hassle for them. Sadly, a lot of the immigrants were judged based on their skin tone, language, and/or religion. If you couldn't speak English, then it was much harder for you to get a job. It was also hard if you weren't experienced at all.
Even though some people can be racist or against immigration, I do think that the United States should allow it. Some people in other foreign countries don't have what they need over in their country like enough food or a good home or even a job! That's why they want to come to America; they're relying on their new home to provide them their needs to start a new and happy life.
I think that the immigrants should have rights because they are human beings just like us and they should all be treated equally. There should be no discrimination against anyone!
1.) My dad's great great great (ex.) grandfather, Anton Biscoping, immigrated to America from Fredeburg, Germany. 2.) Immigrants faced many problems when they arrived in the United States. Some problems that they faced were not being able to understand the English language. This caused problems when an American tried talking to an immigrant because the immigrants couldnt understand what the American's were saying. Another problem immigrants faced was waiting in line for the exam to see if they had any medical problems after getting off the boat. Some immigrants waited a long time just to find out that they had to go back to their home land because they had a medical problem. Parents and children were sepperated during these exams because (for example) a fathers son could be sick and the father isnt, so the father would have to ride the boat, again, to go back to their home land to bring his son there and then ride back to America and meet up with the rest of his family (if there was anymore family.)
ReplyDelete3.) The United States should continue to allow immigrants into the United States only for a couple reasons. If the immigrants pay their taxes, are able to work, and are willing to contribute to the society and not come here just to use us because we have a good system then I would say, let the United States keep on allowing immigrants into the United States.
4.) New immigrants should have the same rights that American's already have because its not fair that they get more rights than us. The immigrants should have to work for more rights if they want them.
Some of the problem's that immigrants faced when arriving in the United States was jobs and shelter. Many immigrants couldn't even get there because of the act that passed that Chinese could not come to the United States. A lot of people got sea sick traveling to the United States and the conditions were bad.
ReplyDeletemy ancestors came in the late 1800s. immigrants faced many problems when they came to America. one of those problems included not speaking English. if an immigrant cant speak English the could get confused by our customs. As we saw in the movie we watched in class, a man couldn't speak English and was getting confused when his waiter was telling him to take his hat off.
ReplyDeleteim torn for this answer. I think that the state our country is in it is risky to let immigrants in with all the problems we have had and how its a dangerous world. but on the other hand I don't want to turn away someone who is hardworking and just trying to make a better life for themselves.
immigrants who are coming into our country today should have the same rights as us. but I also believe that they should be kept an eye on because of all the problems we have had.
My ancestors came to America from Germany, Ireland, and England in the early to mid 1800s. Some problems immigrants faced when they first arrived in the U.S. were viruses, famine, weather, language, and they did not know how to read or write so that was a big problem for them. I think that the U.S. should still allow immigrants to come into America because they have the right to have a chance at a good life as well as the people who are already in America. Some rights new immigrants should have once they get to the U.S. are freedom of speech, the right to work and earn a living, the right to good medical care, and freedom to vote.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors came to America from Italy, Ireland, and Germany over 100 years ago. Some problems immigrants faced were some didn't fit in. Others fit in but couldn't find jobs because they had little to no money and no education or past experience. If you didn't fit in you were bullied by other Americans or picked on because of your skin color, facial features, or you didn't speak English. I do believe that immigrants should be allowed to come into the United States because they are people like everyone else. I think they should learn our language first before they get any jobs or anything like that. Some rights immigrants should have is the right to own property or a home, education, and jobs. I believe these because that is most likely the reason they came to America.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors are from Germany and Ireland. Patrick Burke from Ireland in 1866, and Regina Schwabb from Germany in 1860. there are plenty more but those are the only ones i am certain of. My mother said that our ancestors really didnt have any problems. My Irish ancestors were blacksmiths and seamstrisses and they easily moved to Utica- a very Irish city. Most Irish people were looked down upon. My family got very lucky! My german ancestors were wagon-makers and were never looked down upon. Of course the U.S. should keep on letting immagrants come in to our country! We wouldnt be America anymore if we didnt! i think the immigrants should have the same rights as us. as long as they are a citizen, they should be treated equal. I think they should at least just take a whole bunch of tests to prove they arent a terroist though!
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors came from Ukraine about 80 years ago.They faced were the way they speak and read . Ukrainians look like white protastents but dont exactly sound like them...I do agree that America should continue to let immigrants into our country.I believe that because they add a diversity to our culture that not many others have.Also I think so because when people want a new start they come to America.They have ever since the mid 1800's.Let them move here to have a better life!!
ReplyDeleteSome basic rights I believe immigrants should have are the rights listed in the constitution. Espically ammendment # 1.I believe that those rights are nessary to immigrants because god created all men equal.So why only give certain rights to one group of people when you can give it to any person who lives in America.
1. My Dad's ancestors immigrated from Ireland and Germany to America in the late 1800's, whereas my Mom's ancestors came from Germany, Poland, Ireland and Scotland in the early 1900's.
ReplyDelete2. Some of the problems that immigrants faced when traveling to the U.S.A. were the horrible living conditions on the ships over, the lack of food, and the fact that they were so closely packed together that disease spread quickly.
3. The United States should continue to allow immigrants into the country. If we're allowed into other countries, then they should be allowed into ours. We should be able to have the choice to live wherever we want.
4. Immigrants that are allowed into the United States should be treated the same as everyone else. Anyone that the Government trusts to come into the country should be treated with the same rights as any other human being.
My ancestors chiefly came from England and Ireland, around 1900, give or take. Some problems that immigrants faced were the dislike from Americans. Basically, no one liked them. That made It hard to find jobs and such. I think that letting immigrants in would be an opportunity to grow in population. Although I can't think of many who would come to America in this economic trough in history. When new immigrants come to the US, they should have as much right as any other citizen. If they are willing to become American, than we should allow them to.
ReplyDeleteyes the united states should still allow immigrants because this a free world and free of religion which is one of the reasons why they came here because their homes would get attacked by others. Another reason is that the immigrants can find jobs and try to start their life in America
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors on my moms side came from South Africa, Johannesburg which my mom was born there then moved to America when she was 13 years old. My mom was treated fairly but my ancestors may not have because of the color of their skin. My mom was an immigrant till she took the test to be a U.S. citizen.
ReplyDeleteImmigrants should have the same rights as a normal American citizen but should have all paper work in and has a plan for what they are going to do here. Immigrants have to work just as hard as like a normal citizen would.
ReplyDeleteThat is all true but I have to add the immigrants also earn there way into the country. This is another reason why they should stay in the country, unlike us they have worked to be called a citizen of the US.
DeleteNew immigrants should have all the rights that American citizens do. Once they are in this country they should be treated just as everyone else is. Just because they are not a citizen doesn't mean that they should have equality. If someone from Greece commits a crime he or she should be sentenced the same as someone else who did the same crime as them
ReplyDelete.
My family immigrated from Italy 4 generations ago. My grandparents are 100% italian and i am only 50%. There were born in Italy and immigrated over to America when they were kids.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors mainly from Ireland, Polish, and Germany and they came in i think the early or mid 1800's. Some of the problems the immigrants faced when thery came to America were adjusting to new customs, learning a new language, getting a job, and many more problems. I do believe immigrants should still be allowed to come to the United States because we can learn alot about different cultures, and customs. The United states is where people come to be free and express their religion so if immigrants want to come to the United States and ddo that, then i think they should be allowed to. I think the immigrants should have the same rights and same laws as Americans, they should be treated the same as us!
ReplyDeleteI am a descendent from a Native American tribe. I am a descendant from a tribe in Oklahoma named the Cherokee. From what i know about my family history, my grandmother about 4 or 5 generations ago was a princess of the Cherokee Indians. As well as me being native american some of my family came from multiple parts of Europe. I dont know much about my European ancestors but i know that i am partly German, Irish, and i know that my great great great grandmother survived the Halucaust.
ReplyDelete2) Some of the problems immigrants faced when they arrived in America were rights and jobs. Immigrants were not allowed to vote, even as US citizens. Being treated poorly was only one problem immigrants faced. Another problem was being denied jobs. Many nativists but up signs such as NO IRISH ALLOWED on their businesses. MOst immigrants found jobs in factories but that did not give them enough money to raise a family. In conclusion, immigants lived hard lives due to these problems.
ReplyDeleteYes i think imigrants should be allowed to move to the UNited States. ONce they become a US citizen I think they should be given all the rights in the 1st ammendemant, the right of religion, and the right to vote.
ReplyDeletemy ancestors came from Holland in the late 1800's. it was kind of hard for then to come over beacause they left all of there family over in Holland beacause they came for better jobs. also some of my ancestors came from irland. it was hard for them because they didn't fully understand the customs of the americans. they weren't treated like other americans they were treated like out standers and like they didn't fit in.
ReplyDeleteSome problems immigrants faced were learning how to fit into the American culture. Examples like learning how to speak english, learinging how to use manners, and simple stuff like figuring out how to use our money.
ReplyDeleteI dont know where my ancestors came from.
ReplyDeletethey needed jobs, money, a place to live, and try to not catch diseases on the way over here.
Yes they should let immigrants still come here, If they want to be free., they should let you and have no one stop that.
freedom, the right of speech. a new life
I believe we as americans should let imagrants into the counrty because we call our selves a free nation because we let people of all nationalities into the united states. This has a part in why they moved to the united states because they came not to be judged or ruled but for those people who were sick on their voyage here were sometimes sent back because when they arrived in the America sick they didnt want the deseases to spread they were aloud to stay for a couple days to get better but if they did not get better they where sent back to their home countries. When new imagrants arrive in the united states they should have the rights of religion any skin color freedom of speech and freedom of the press this would make these people feel important and free.
ReplyDeletemy grandma and her family came to america when she was young shre came here from italy and when she arived she hade almost nothing she wanted to go back home but her parents did not want to they hade to start a new life all ove again and she was scared and she was a only child so it was not like she hade a brother or sister to turn to when she needed help with something she did not want her parents knowing about my grandma ended up making a lot of new friends after a while and then she alwaysed hade someone to turn to and after that she did not want to go back now my grand ma works at strong hospital and lives in her apartment and has two kids one boy and one girl and my mom hade me and my sister and brother if it wasint for my grandma me my mom my uncle and my other sibling might have never been born and im glade she did stay in america i love my grandma and i hope she never dies well for a long time and yess i think immagrents should still be able to come to america they shoul have no laws on it and some things immagrents faced as aproblem was being told they were not wanted and told that they should go back to where there from they would get teased and picked on ithink that is not right people should not get gudged on there apperence is but what there personality like never gudge a book by its cover what ever happened to that saying.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors came from Germany i dont know where because my dad and my grandma (that is now deceased) diddnt know where they exectly came from but they came from germany and immigrated to america. my dads dad was german so he passed down german to us that is how im 95% german. they should be able to come into america because once you are a legal american you are an american. yes they should come into america because if you come t america legaly then you are free. immagrants should get all the right american citezens because once you are an american you are a legal citizen. immigrants had to get a job and money to support their family they did not know any of our customs or language so they had to learn.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors came from different native American tribes, and those were my great great great grandparents.
ReplyDeleteSome of the problems immigrants faced upon coming to America was segregation, bullying, and not knowing English. It was a hard transition for them, due to different cultures and beliefs. Also,they had different colored skin,features, and language that made it hard for them to fit in with society. They didn't have much money,so they would have to get a job as soon as they got there, most often a factory job.
