The United States has been labeled as the “land of opportunity” and that is a common explanation that I have heard of why people migrate to the United States. The high expectations of the United States are often told in movies, news, stories, and family. A lot of the migrant families often describe their homeland as reaching a peak where they are no longer growing financially, educationally, or security. My parents share a similar explanation of their migration to the United States. They wanted to plant a seed that will pay off in the future and that seed was migrating to the U.S. This common explanation is related to the theory that Yang shares in the essay. Other “clusters of factors” could simply be freedom. Freedom of religion, speech, and sexuality are often factors missing from the countries people migrate from.
