Immigrating- Antonio Sims

1. I believe immigrants come over to our country because of the less harsh living conditions of the United States. Think about, if you commit a petty crime such as shopliftting here you probably would just be put on probation or something like that. But in other countires they wont give you as much leway. You're likely to be killed for such a crime in other countries.Then theres the matter of finances. in other countries you might not even have the word bank account on your mind or even in your vocabulary, because of how poor you and your family are. So with things like this in mind immigrants feel it would be better for themselves and their families if they just moved to a country where life isn't as challenging as in their home country.

2.If I ever decided to move somewhere else it would be because of freedom from the everyday strees that I have t endure. I would probably move to the islands somewhere, maybe Brazil or Puerto Rico. So I can sit on the beach all day and just enjoy the sun in my khaki shorts and Hawaiian button up shirt.Because in america you have to do so many things in a day that it would drive you to insanity.So i'd say that i would immigrate for freedom.

I agree with Antonio on both half. Most immigrants do come over here so that they don't have to worry about getting punish for the little mistakes they make. And who wouldn't want to move to a place where there's freedom. I know I would.

Very thoughtful and thorough post. All of your examples make this post that much more persuasive. I think we would all like to relax a little more on the coast!

Some small errors that you would have caught if you edited before publishing, but overall a great post.
As is 18/20 points.
