Many people choose to immigrate to the United States because of economic opportunities, freedom of expression, and because of various awful conditions in their native countries. However, the reality is often far from expected. When immigrants come to the U.S., they look for economic opportunities. But jobs are pretty scarce, and many places will refuse to hire them merely because they are immigrants. They come for freedom. But when undocumented immigrants arrive in the US, they must then live their lives in fear of immigration authorities coming to deport them. A life of hiding is NOT freedom. When they come to the US, they expect more than what they are escaping. They separate from their families, and leave their loved ones for better opportunities. But is struggling to get a job, hiding all of your life, and leaving your family really “opportunity”? Jade Alvarez '22 (BHSEC Queens)
