Why Immigrants Move to the U.S.& Would You Ever Leave?

Immigrants move to the United States to start a better life than the one they were pursuing in the other country. Many today come to the U.S. to get better jobs because most immigrants here don’t get taxed, as we Americans do. They gain a lot more because they’re able to send funds back home to their families and receive a green card after being here for so long, which makes them a legal American. Not only do they gain coming to the U.S. they also lose a lot, many immigrants leave their family behind just to start a new beginning and forget about their old one. If I had a choice to immigrate somewhere else I wouldn’t consider the offer. Living in the United States you have many advantages that you may lose somewhere else. We have many different types of lifestyles as well as freedom and you can always move up to more levels in your life.

Well written post that addresses both questions with details to defend your argument. Be sure not to over generalize when talking about immigrants not getting taxed. Anyone in the U.S. pays taxes in one way or another(sales tax, etc), but some illegal immigrants who do not pay income taxes because they cannot file a W-4 because they do not have the proper identification.

Keep up the good work.
