Write a short essay describing two reasons why people immigrated to the United States in the nineteenth century and two difficulties immigrants faced in leaving their homes and starting a new life in the United States.

People migrated to the u. s for a multitude of reasons one of which was to find religious freedom. in man other countries they will hold you to a specific religion for example in Germany you were either catholic or christian otherwise you have no freedom. another great reason people migrated to the u. s is because where they were before there may have been poverty. many places such as ethiopia and some places in mexico they do not have much money or financial stabilization. In the u. s you have greater opportunity to prosper or at least make a livable income to sustain your self. As for challenges immigrant and even refugees face many issues. one extraordinary example is syrian refugees are in a war torn country with many terrorists ruling over them and here no one will take them in out of fear because of things such as 9/11. The biggest issue for syrian refugees is the fact that america doesn't want them and that is a major issue we need to tackle. Another major issue is the fact that some migrants illegal or not have issues adapting to our society or even have trouble with english.
