Why do we immagrate?
Why do we immagrate? That's a very good question. There are many answers. For me the biggest reason would be to escape. If I ever immagrated i would only leave because i wanted to get away from something. My old life, pain, a crime or a political problem. I don't know nessacerly what it would be because i haven't been in that situation. But if so, it would be most likely to escape. Another reason would be that I lost something extremely important to me. My house, my family, my job. It would still, in a sense, be escaping. But more because i lost something and i want to start over. Another situation would be if the place i was in just contradicted my views to much or something along those lines. I don't think i'd ever immagrate. But if i did, I would go to Canada. There aren't many reasons except that Canada is close, peaceful and pretty rad. I think the immagrants from Mexico come to the United States because they have heard about how "nice" and "prosperous" it is here. Also they might leave where they were because of poverty. They might think if they move somewhere else they could start their not-so-great life over and mold it into something new and nice by moving somewhere new. I know there are lots of stories about how the United States is such a great place and so on and so forth and I am pretty positive that those stories could convince any person with a not so decent life to go where they are talking about.

Why are things different when you cross the U.S.-Mexico border?
To be honest, this question is a bit hard for me to answer. I have crossed the border, multiple times, but I'm usually asleep. The first thing I notice that is different in Mexico is the terrain. I usually notice hills and mountains that are mostly dirt and such instead of plants. I also notice the randomly scattered houses. They always make me laugh because they are so unusually colored and weirdly placed. I notice that there are not as many people so the roads are usually empty and the stores aren't as crowded. Also, there are no skyscrapers or huge industries equaling no buildings blocking the view of the sky. You can also see the poverty in certain cities. There are many homeless people and a lot of the shops and houses are not as fancy. Compared to the United States, Mexican citizens are a lot skinnier. You can see that they don't eat excess food like the U.S. does. There is also a difference in smells. In United States it smells clean and most of the time fresh, but in Mexico it smells like trash and sewage. I was told that it smells bad in Mexico because they burn their trash but I'm unsure if that is true.
