Question

In your opinion, what is similar and/or different about the experiences of immigrants to the U.S. during this time period compared to immigrants to the U.S. today?

Answer 1

Answer:

Honestly speaking, the immigrants just come to the U.S. to "live a better life," I put that in quotation since it's nothing but racial slurs and bad behavior being thrown on to them. For example, I'm pretty sure you know about street vendors trying to make a living out there and instead there is a threat towards them and disruption to their property. It just isn't right. And now they want to seal up the border and not let in the immigrants, which is to me, it's a disappointment since they probably wanted or needed something to look forward to and make themselves a brighter future here. And not only Hispanics be getting this, other race as well, but the old race be getting it the most, on the news, you see maybe a 50-60-year-old getting threatened or beaten up by a couple of youngsters who dislike their race, and it's pretty scary. They don't need that, they just want to make a living out here, it seems like they can't get it and that's how I feel and see this.
