Exposé: US immigrants

The economic difficulties urge of numerous Latin American to emigrate. They fetch some work in the United States to support their family in spite of the wall built by this country on the border with Mexico.

Many immigrants set off for the United States by hoping to have a better life and extend over the majority of the continent however most of the immigrants take refuge with California (it is in 1965 that begins to increase the number of the illegal migrants).

Thanks to the money which I win here, my children can go from now on to the school and my family was able to move in a bigger house. "

With the money which he wins in the United States, Ahmed uses it to send it in the Yemen, in his family so that they can better live. It is case of most of the immigrants and one of the reasons of the immigration.
