    The grass is not always greener on the other side, which is the case for many immigrants migrating to America. Coming to America by Gibbs and Bankhead, A Hyphenated Identity by Harry Kitano, and as well as the essay Wandering Between Two Worlds, One Dead, the Other Powerless to be Born by Ramon S. Torrecilha are all detailed works of writing about the hardships immigrants had to overcome becoming a citizen or already being a citizen of the United States. I believe that many people have an overwhelming expectation about America and take the notion of it being a free state to literally. Countless of immigrants minds assume that once they move to America they will have the opportunity, the success, the romance, and when it is all said and done several immigrants just think of America as an utter disappointment.…

    In the USA xenophobic fears against the alleged "Yellow Peril" led to the implementation of the Page Act of 1875, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, expanded ten years later by the Geary Act. The Chinese Exclusion Act replaced the Burlingame Treaty ratified in 1868, which encouraged Chinese immigration, provided that "citizens of the United States in China of every religious persuasion and Chinese subjects in the United States shall enjoy entire liberty of conscience and shall be exempt from all disability or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship in either country" and granted certain privileges to citizens of either country residing in the other, withholding, however, the right of naturalization. The Immigration Act of 1917 then created an "Asian Barred Zone" under nativist influence. The Cable Act of 1922 guaranteed independent female citizenship only to women who were married to "alien[s] eligible to naturalization".[5] At the time of the law's passage, Asian aliens were not considered to be racially eligible for U.S. citizenship.[6][7] As such, the Cable Act only partially reversed previous policies, granting independent female citizenship only to women who married non-Asians. The Cable Act effectively revoked the U.S. citizenship of any woman who married an Asian alien. The National Origins Quota of 1924 also included a reference aimed against Japanese citizens, who were ineligible for naturalization and could not either be accepted on U.S. territory. In 1922, a Japanese citizen attempted to demonstrate that the Japanese were members of the "white race", and, as such, eligible for naturalization. This was denied by the Supreme Court in Takao Ozawa v. United States, who judged that Japanese were not members of the "Caucasian race".…

    I do not agree that the US is more enlightened than the other countries or other society. I almost feel guilty saying that because I am a recent immigrant from the country that, as I believe, is indeed not as enlightened as the United States. I feel like I am expected to praise the US; however, I did not come here because I believe it is the best country in the world. I came here because my country would not be able to provide me with as bright future or with the opportunity to be save being with a person I love. Another counties could have provided me with the same and even more; however, I do not have a sister willing to invite me in such countries; therefore, I had only one choice in terms of immigration.…

    My parents immigrated to the United States, from Europe, 40 years ago. I was born in the United States, but English was not my first language, and I have spent many hours in the hospital translating for my own grandparents. Growing up in New York City, I was exposed to many different types of cultures, ethnicity and races that also made me very culturally sensitive. Growing up and working in such a diverse environment, I have not experienced the challenges that many people do in less diverse parts of the country. I was a bedside nurse in a very fast paced inner city hospital with all various populations ranging from different economic, cultural, racial and social backgrounds, and that was our “typical” patient.…
