Immigrating with Japanese

            Japanese people started immigrating  to the U.S. in the 1880's. These immigrations were started just for looking jobs and employments, for example like in sugar plantations. Japanese also immigrated to the U.S. looking for a dream for better opportunities and to search for peace and prosperity. They left unstable homeland for the life of the demanding job and a chance to provide a better future for their children. 
            Journey for Japanese people was most likely to be by sailing. An example of this was on May 17, 1868, the Scioto set sail out of Yokohama for Hawaii, carrying 153 Japanese migrants. Between 1886 and 1911, more than 400,000 men and women left Japan for the U.S. Over 28,000 Japanese migrated to Hawaii.
            When Japanese immigrants arrived to their immigrated places in the U.S. their was a lot of criticism. As Japanese arrived, discrimination started to the new immigrants. As Japanese were willing to work hard for low wages, many American people were afraid Japanese would take away jobs from American people. The white people understood how a diversity of ethnicities could cause major competition and change their present success rate. As they migrated to the U.S. they experienced many difficult things like discrimination, low wages, war and so on. They migrated for new development and for the following generation. 
              I know that many people do not like for others to immigrate to their countries. Those people also need to think about the living situations those people are facing. Many of these people trying to immigrate need jobs to survive and mantain their family. I think they should allow people to immigrate wherever they want but only depending on their records and things they have done through time (criminal records). Me immigrating to the U.S. in this time would be very difficult because since most people are against it they would start talking bad about me and my family. If there's one thing I really need and is immigrating for the convenience of me and my family I'll do it.
