Why do Salvadorian's come to the United States? To flee from poverty. Though El
Salvador has adopted the dollar, it still isn't enough to pay for simple things such as a pound of
beans which usually goes for about $2.00 which is more than half of what a handyman makes in
a day which is $3.50 a day (Calero). There's no surprise when we ask a Salvadorian
immigrant why he/ she came to the United States the answer w ill always be the same, it will
either be because they want to get away from the violence going on in their country, or because
they want to have financial stability. The struggle to get to the United States though isn't as a
easy as Salvadorian's make it out to be.
The war on crime is constantly being fought in El Salvador. El Salvador is one of the
smallest countries in the world, yet it has one of the biggest populations in the world (yellow
pages). Some even call it America?s pinky because despite its small size it is home to millions of
people. Honduras is about three times the size of El Salvad...
Before reading this, I, like I am sure so many others, had no idea of the magnitude of injustices that can occur during these conflicts. Also, this was not very long ago, nor far away, and it speaks volumes of the differences in government ideology and politics. El Salvador is an extreme case of how a government will treat its citizens. Massacre at El Mozote truly was an eye-opener and I doubt I will soon forget it.

Literal and figurative borders can restrict and control many aspects within the lives of people all over the world. All people should be able to make the decision of where they wish to settle, start a family, and eventually die as a happy and fulfilled human being. The idea of travelling or living in a different country other than where you were conceived and brought up is a dream many people aspire to in era, but all wander-lusting souls should have the opportunity to make that dream a reality and find happiness and a new home in an unfamiliar city or country. The issues with this can vary widely; sometimes there can be issues with obtaining legal immigration papers while moving across countries or maybe financially they are not ready to
the United States is to blame for all the that has happened in Central America. Many had to witness traumatic events, but through the midst of it all, they found hope. Some died spreading awareness, while others were forced to become soldiers without a choice. As some killed, as others had no choice but to kill in order to save themselves. Poverty means not always having the required utensils in order to survive.
The lives of people in some third world countries such as Honduras and Indonesia are completely different than ours hear in a much more prosperous nation. So when citizens of this great nation hear about people working for thirty to fifty cents an hour they think it’s absolutely absurd. But what they don’t realize is that this amount of profit is acceptable to these people. David R. Henderson backs this up by stating, “Take the 31 cents an hour some 13-year-old Honduran girls allegedly earn at 70-hour-a-week jobs. Assuming a 50-week year, that works out to over $1,000 a year. This sounds absurdly low to Americans but when you consider that Honduras’s GDP per person in 1994 was the equivalent of about $600.” You can also see proof of this in Cathy Young’s article when she writes, “I have also wondered why, when we are shocked by reports of 50-cent-an-hour wages, we never think of those Save the Children ads reminding us that a contribution of $15 can feed and clothe a Third World child for a whole month.” Also, Young brings up another good point by stressing the fact that to many Third World country families having children is one more financial burden, “…in poor societies, a family cannot afford to support a child for 18 years. For virtually all of human history, most children worked…”
Immigrants leave their countries in search for a better life and improvement of their situation. There is no singular reason for immigration; motivations range from better economic prospects to political safety. As of late, the number of immigrants living in the United States is an estimated 11 million. Those who immigrate are expected to contribute to the United States culturally, politically, and economically. Yet, full assimilation becomes difficult to achieve when the immigrant is made into “the other” by the country of reception.

The Struggle of Immigrants in America The U.S. has a prolonged history of discrimination. In the late 17th century, when America was declared a free country, only the white Gentiles had the privilege of “freedom” and African Americans continued their lives as slaves for many decades. As the country grew, it became a dream land, a refuge for immigrants who fled their country to seek freedom and pursue happiness. However, the gene of discrimination stuck deeply in the mind of the early founding fathers; hence their descendents also obtained the hatred toward immigrants who look differently. In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, many immigrants such as the Jews, Chinese and Japanese immigrants who came to America with the hope for a better life also got exploited, and treated brutally in many ways.

Immigrants came to the United States for different reasons, but Laskin stated the three main reasons were “land, freedom, and hope.” (9) If they immigrated to the United States, they could experience what other immigrants sent letters home about.

One of the main reasons for immigration is economic reasons. Life in poverty and unhappiness force people to search a better life. Continuously the economic distance between the developed countries and the third world countries are increasing year by year. As a result, people from underdeveloped and developing countries come to industrialized countries in order to have better earnings, better job opportunities and better education for their children. The United States has been the world's largest national economy since the 1920s (CNN Money). In 2013, the GDP of USA was $16. 2 trillion (CNN Money). That is why people from the underdeveloped and developing countries are moving in USA; to change their economic condition. Moreover, there is a strong demand for skilled workers in U.S. such as engineers, doctors, and other professionals. The paying scale for these professionals in USA is better than in other developed countries. Thus, people have moved, are moving, and are trying to move in USA.
So typically forced migration is due to the perceived threat of natural disaster or violence the people have limited time to Escape limited resources to provide for their family and themselves and have no other choice but to migrate to an area of less risk. Once a community or individuals reach the point where they are forcibly migrating to another area all belongings are limited we have to build their lives again wherever they settle (Factors Influencing Migration and Population Movements, 2016).
