- To be honest it is safe to safe everyone who has migrated all have their own reasons on why they decide to migrate to the united stated with their family or on their own. everyone’s reasoning is unique in each way but the main reasons people have migrated to the United States was mainly for another opportunity in life & to make sure their family gets a better education compared to the one they have in their actual country. In addition I have also heard of people wanting to leave the country they’re currently in because of how dangerous it is and they would like to make sure they are safe with the rest of their family. However when it comes to Asian migration I was personally told by a friend in college that her family migrated to the United States for the amount of opportunities they had over here, which was a better environment and a chance to become successful or at least comfortable, Which In her family’s case it worked & both of her parents became certified surgeons. On top of that she is also on the road to become a therapist which just goes on to show how far migrating to the United States can actually get you. Personally I was also told by my own father he migrated from the Dominican Republic over to NYC to start his own business. He stated how difficult it was & how it took him steps to actually get to where he is now. From being homeless to having to introduce himself to specific people, he eventually ended up making it happened and opened up his own business around 1998 to be able to bring my mom and sisters over to NYC, which lead to me being the first ever born from our family in NYC. Yang’s theory proves the fact that people tend to migrate from poor countries because they need a restart button in life, such as better education or to get away from natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes etc. Other clusters I would add to yang’s theory is the fact people tend to leave their country because sometimes they’re being hunted for by gang members which can also lead to their family being put at risk which is a totally understandable reason on why someone would want to leave their country. Another theory I would add to yang’s theory is religious freedom, since I am aware that some countries do not let women do or dress a certain way because of their religion and if they do not follow it they will either get abused or killed unfortunately.

everyone wants the best life they can have, which is why many people leave their country. Everyone can make a life for him/her/they and their families, as long as you can provide and make a name for yourself, that is something to be proud of
Good discussion + expansion of Yang’s theory. Thank you for sharing your own family history with us, too.
