Immigrants

In 2011, when most Americans say immigrant, they automatically think of people of Hispanic/Latino descent. Yet, there are immigrants of all ethnic backgrounds. Even Justin Bieber is an immigrant. Because America is considered a big melting pot of people, most people's roots can be traced back to another country-making them an immigrant of some sort.  There are laws against illegal immigrants and people constantly rant and rave about "protecting our borders". These people do not sympathize with the push-pull factors that cause people to illegally come into the U.S. In the documentary, Which Way Home, some of the young boys left their native countries because of their family life. Others left to seek new opportunities and to seek jobs to support their families back home.
