First Assignment.

1. What motivates immigrants to come to the United States today?

- People immigrating from other countries into the US do so for various reasons. Primarily, it seems to be a search for freedoms; personal, economical, or otherwise. Perhaps a person cannot earn enough money at their currant occupation and would benefit from another one. Another reason one might want to immigrate may be personal, such as they need to break away from some of their country's laws that might hold them back. However, with the process of immigrating can come many loses. One might have to leave their family behind, for instance. Immigration can be a terrific option for those who feel that they desire and/or need to do so.

2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?

- Personally, I would consider both options in my decision to immigrate to another country. I believe that it is very important to do so. I would look at my current standings as far as money, career satisfaction, personal desires, and such; before choosing to move somewhere. If I wasn't happy with my job or other aspects of my life here in the US, that is when I would consider moving. I would sometimes like to move myself to experiance what life would be like in another country. In conclusion, I would look at all aspects of my life before choosing to move to another country.
