The U.S has a varying amount of advantages and disadvantages for immigrants. Which may be why many immigrants come to the U.S for better opportunities. My parents had come to the U.S to seek more opportunities for themselves and their children. They did find better opportunities here than in their home country but it was still hard for them to live because they were pretty much seen as “illegal immigrants.” They’re still working are getting visas and trying to help my aunts and uncles to get their visas as well. They’ve been living a better life here than compared to their home countries so you can say the U.S holds some advantages for immigrants. When it comes to the U.S there are many disadvantages for undocumented immigrants and documented immigrants as well. The main disadvantage is having to deal with deportation agencies like I.C.E. In the U.S there are also limited job opportunities because some immigrants may not meet certain quantities. And at the time of the movie, undocumented immigrants couldn’t drive cars or any type of vehicle. And the overall cost of trying to get visas and green cards. And also the idea of having to watch your every move but you could be deported or something else up that alley because of a simple mistake. Undocumented immigrants I guess would have fewer rights because they wouldn’t be able to report like fraud or something that had occurred to them without risking their own safety. However, the U.S does have plenty of advantages for immigrants. Advantages such as better wages compared to their home countries and being able to bring food to the table and buy common living needs. Violence is another advantage, many families come here to either escape war, poverty, or violence from their home countries and the U.S, I guess has less violence compared to other countries. The U.S is also a place for religious freedom and has better living conditions, again families who usually immigrate to the U.S are most likely trying to look for a better life, escaping poverty. This better life would also include better education which the U.S offers, another advantage for immigrants. Overall the U.S contains both advantages and disadvantages for both documented and undocumented immigrants. Lesley Tapay '23
