Answer 1

Answer:

H: Reasons for immigration to the United States.

Explanation:

These are all very prevalent notions under the rationalization of foreigners for immigrating to the United States. America has been viewed as the "shining city upon a hill," which is to say it is an extremely desirable location for immigrants, particularly those looking to escape the hectic chaos frequent within their own countries.

Many countries attempt to religiously persecute their citizens. The U.S. is a free country, and the right for freedom of religious freedom and expression (as long as it isn't illegal/violent) is ensured.

Our Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution serves to highlight a plethora of rights and freedoms granted to American citizens. These were rightfully earned through the sacrifices of countless heroic and loyal lives.

The image U.S. often involves economic opportunity, especially in the 1800s and 1700s. Many immigrants migrated to the U.S. in search of work (take British immigrants for example, whom often left England and migrated to the U.S. because of the overcrowding within their own country and lack of sufficient work/pay). UNFORTUNATELY, they didn't quite realize that economic opportunities weren't much better in America during those times...

The U.S. is seen as a safe haven for countless individuals. This is because of our laws, rights, protections, and systems, as well as numerous other elements and aspects. This is definitely much more appealing when you live in countries with corrupted, tyrannical leaders and murderers, gang violence, destruction, and death ready to knock on your door (assuming you're lucky enough to have one). This is evident today with the U.S. relationship with Mexico, in which many of Mexico's inhabitants are seeking safe places for their families due to Mexico's unstable, violent environment.
