Immigration

It's estimated that millions of people have crossed borders in recent decades. Although some have fled from wars, natural disasters, or persecution, most crossing to the U.S. from Mexico have moved for economic reasons.
Obvious questions come to mind: What problems have migrants faced? Do all find the better life they seek? How do children fare when a parent leaves in search of a better income?

No doubt the first challenge is often the journey itself. Many immigrants never even arrive at their destination.
Would-be migrants should take into account more than the possible risk associated with travel. Language and cultural barriers as well as the cost and legal complications of trying to become citizens or permanent residents must be considered. Those who fail to obtain legal status often find it hard to obtain good employment, quality housing, education, or health care. They may also find it difficult to obtain a driver's license or a bank account. And all too often, undocumented immigrants are exploited, perhaps as a cheap source of labor. Many immigrants though, stick it out in their new country despite loneliness, economic setbacks, and a prolonged separation from their family.

Just another viewpoint.
