You ever wonder how hard immigrants worked to come to America? Have You ever wanted to know what it was like for them when they reached our borders? Here, in this thread, I hope that immigrants or children of the immigrants will give their testomony about their life before and after they came to America. It is my hope that people will learn from this thread. Some of us don't know what immigrants went through as they came here. I wish to talk about my mother and her time here. She lived in the philipines, having 5 brothers and sisters. She studied hard every day without the help of her parents. After finishing highschool my Mother came to a college here in America. During her time of attending college she attended a church where her Pastor introduced her to my Father it took of from there(i'll skip the smooching). In New Jersey She gave birth to my sister and 4 years later she gave birth to me. When I turned 4 my parents moved next to my Father's father's house, so at that they can take a break from us. During the course of years I noticed my Mother was getting extremely angry at the government. It seemed that the government had been giving her more and more trouble with immigration. The ilegal immigrants seemed to be treated better then the immigrants who came here legally. "They are being treated like VIPs." she said and it seemed to be so. Also during the immigration problem she had to fly back home in order to recieve her birth cretificate. Without it she couldn't get a new drivers license or passport. Because she couldn't get a new drivers license she wasn't allowed to deposit or take any money from the bank. Well this is her story. Hope you learned somthing.
