INTRODUCTION
Immigrants have many struggles. For example, little people get jobs. Almost 6.6
percent of refugees get a job. Immigrants have been facing many challenges. For
example, they cant support themselves with the basic needs. In addition, they dont
have much food or water, and their shelter is horrible. The environment they live in
is harsh. Immigrants cant keep on living in these harsh conditions. People should
help immigrants and stop it from being more dangerous. Try to create fundraisers or
food drives. We need immigrants help Immigrants need our help.

Before Immigration:
Immigrants have many struggles before immigration. In Mexico, the conditions are
becoming much more harsh. For example, the tax has risen way too high.
Immigrants are coming to the United States because the tax of gasoline is 60
percent, and the tax of oil is 20 percent. The Mexican Government is already rich
enough, which costs plummeting up to 3,000,000,000. The Mexicans are thinking
that the Government's money is raising way too high. The Mexicans started avoiding
street polls. The Government used 300 million dollars up to buy security cameras.
The Mexicans are ripping off their car plates and wearing red, white, and green
masks. They wear these masks to avoid being seen by the government on the
security cameras. They spent nearly 2 billion dollars to put facial recognitions in
public bathrooms. This is used to get rolls of toilet paper. They noticed that different
masks can trick it. Soon, the Mexican Government only had 3000 dollars left.

After 4 decades of rapid growth, the size of the Mexican Immigrant population in the
United States has remained stable in recent years. In 2014, more than 11.7 million
Mexican immigrants resided in the United States, accounting for 28 percent of the
42.4 million foreign-born population- by far the largest immigrant origin in the
country. Between 2006 and 2010, the amount of Mexican immigrants increased by
200,000 compared to the more 2 million who arrived in the five years prior.
Following this tragic trend, in the last decade and a half, Mexican share among all
immigrants dropped from 29.5 percent in 2000 to 27.6 percent in 2014.

In addition, Mexico is also no longer the top origin country among the most recent
immigrants to the United States. In 2013, China and India overtook Mexico as the
most common countries of origin of immigrants who have resided in the United
States for one year or less. Furthermore, more Mexicans Immigrants have returned
in Mexico that the migrants who have migrated the United States since the end of
the 2007 to 2009 Great Recession, according to a recent report from Pew Research
Center. The decline in Mexican inflows results from a mix of factors including
weakened job opportunities in the United States, tougher border enforcement, the
long term decline in Mexicos birth rate, and the improvement of the Mexican
economy.

The vast majority of Mexican Emigrants settle in the United States, with others
heading to Canada, Germany, and Spain. According to mid-2015 estimates by the
United Nations Population Division, The amount of immigrants coming per year
increased from 2,199,200 in 1980, to a gigantic 11,714,500 per year. This is about a
9,000,000 year difference. Most Mexican immigrants to obtain lawful permanent

But, Mexico isnt the only country with problems. Refugees and migrants come from
many reasons. For example, people may come from Syria to take refuge from the
war or refugees may be coming from Honduras to escape violence. Violence is not
the only reason for migrating.
