immigration in the us
I think that all people born in the United States are actually all direct descendants from an immigrant because America was a new country so all the people that came here were immigrants. Even the native Americans were immigrants because they immigrated to here over a land link from Asia or Africa. I am not sure about the fact that all immigrants suffered hardships in the new land because, I think about the lords, like Lord Baltimore, or people like George Washington. It seems to me that they did not suffer any. To me, it seems that the people that suffered were the "different" ones. The people that were colored, or dressed differently, or talked differently. I think that most of the immigrants of places like England were not discriminated against when they came to America. It was mostly the people from places like Asia or Africa or even Eastern Europe.

They were followed by immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe, specifically Italians and Polish, who settled in the large cities of the Northeast. Later still there was an influx of Asians, who settled in California, Nevada and the Western states. In the early 1900s many immigrants continued to come from Eastern and Central Europe. After the middle of the century, most immigration was from Central and South America. As a rule, earlier immigrants looked down on those who came later. People who immigrated in 1850 looked down on those who came in 1875, and the descendants of both looked down on the much later immigrants who came in 1975 from Mexico or the Dominican Republic. I think that the reason that some people have suffered is a fact that pertains to all of life. And that is that life is not fair. Some people did have
