Assignment 1: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

1. What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.

- What motivates immiqrants to come to the United States is that they would either want to start over in a better place or either because there are better jobs in the United States. They qain better jobs etc., they lose really what they had at their oriqinal hometown; family/friends are left behind.
2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?
- I would move for both reasons, economic reasons because money is a number 1 priority in the world today and back then; you need money to survive. Freedom because i love to go to places and do thinqs, and they would problably have strict rules.

I agree to the first one it's a really good argument. The second one though I don't think that I would be able to leave my family. But it's a really good post.

Good post. Valid arguments, but a bit short. Your second response is written as if you were living back then which is good.

Some small errors that you can fix for maximum credit. As is you earned 17/20 points.
