Immigration

My definition of an immigrant is a person who is born from another country that comes to a country legally. An example is if a person was born in Holland and moves to the United States. That would be called immigrating. Anything about moving to a different country is considered as immigrating.

A connection that I have with immigration is my mom's side of the family. My mom’s side of the family was originally from Holland but moved to the United States because they were tired of the weather there. It was to cold.

My mom’s side of the family which are my 2 aunts, my uncle, my mom, my grandma and my grandpa are all immigrants who originally were born in Holland. On the other hand my dad’s side of my family are all from the United States and didn’t really bother making a change in where they lived.

I really don’t know the answer to this question but I think it’s because they are tired of the weather and don’t like it. Also they might think its to dangerous to stay in their country and maybe they just want to move because they are tired of their home country and want to move to a more different place. To discover more places, animals, and historic things.

In San Diego I see a lot of effects dealing with immigration like languages like Spanish and foods like Chinese and Italian food. We have several foods and languages going around in San Diego. Also, some places in San Diego have immigration in them. We see people all around us with different races which means that someone in their family must of have immigrated to the United States. We also have people with different cultures like using chopsticks instead of a spoon. There are many different immigrants all around us.
