Immigrants

According to the census bureau, fifty percent of all United States population growth comes from immigrants. The United States of America has always been and will remain a country of immigrants. Immigration in the U.S has brought a striking cultural diversity, tales of hope, struggle, and success told in hundred of languages. As an immigrant, I have chosen to talk about this topic to present a better view of the immigration system. Also, I would like to analyze a few concerns many people have regarding this issue.

Compare to any country in the world the Immigration and Naturalization system (INS) is more disciplined. Considering the event of September 11 2001, the INS has made many changes that make it more difficult for people to immigrate in the USA.
To enter the U.S anyone will need to have a sponsor. The sponsor can be a friend or a family member that agrees to provide financial support. Once in the States, by law, a new immigrant is still the responsibility of the sponsor or sponsors until after 10 years of work. As we know, off all the country in the world, the United States of America is unique. Everyone comes in search of a better life and fulfill the American dream. It is the only place where anyone can reach his or her dream what ever the age, race, background, gender, and education.

This is a great opening blog! I can really see the subject of immigration beginning here.

Why is this an important subject for you to choose for the next 2 months? Think about adding some context for your readers over the next few blogs.

And great, smooth writing! I'm glad you got the hang of this...
