"Key Findings About U.S. Immigrates" by Abby Budiman, explores statistics of the American immigrant population. America is a country that stands for individualism, diversity, and freedom of expression. America's international population have immigrated from all around the world. Abby Budiman's article categorizes the statistics for where America' immigrant populations immigrated from, where the immigrant population locations are lived in the U.S, educational levels, work, and legal status. Over one million people from around the world immigrate to America every year. The American population consists of around 50 million immigrants (13.7%), with about 70% of those immigrants here legally. People from China are currently the largest population immigrating to America, and it is estimated that by 2055 Chinese people will be the largest immigrant group. America has resettled more refugees then any other country since the creation of the Federal Refuge Program in 1980. Most immigrants I've in large retro area cities, such as New York, Las Angeles, and Miami.

I think this article is good for grouped statistical value, but lacks emotion without personal experiences that hook, relate and capture the reader. I found the article boring, but it served its purpose in identifying facts and statistics for the American immigrant population. I learned that China has the most people immigrating to America, and I was surprised because the news never talks about Chinese immigration, only Mexican and South American imagination. I can relate to this article because I immigrated to America from Hungary. It was interesting to learn the statistics and numbers involved in America's overall Immigrant population adapting to the U.S.
In the article “Competition from within” by Seth Eislund, we learn about the horrible and inspiring life of an immigrant. Studying was very hard for Makka Djibrine Khatir. Now it’s like gold. Khatir was born in a difficult environment: in a refugee camp in Chad, after her family escaped from Darfur. The family lived and farmed there for another 12 years. Khatir went to school in the camp. The teachers were very cruel. They didn’t care about her personal life, even when her brother was very sick. Khatir made her own decision by escaping from class to bring her sick brother to the hospital. Later, the principal disciplined her for “disobeying” by hitting her until her back was injured. After this incident Khatir tried to quit school but her father forced her to go back to school. Finally, Khatir came to the US with her family as refugees. She started school and she started feeling comfortable there because her teachers were kind. She felt more motivated about school and became an exceptional student. Her past experience of growing up in a refugee camp became a motivation to self-discipline herself throughout high school. She always tried to do her best. These days Khatir is a university student. “Life is a competition, but it is a competition between you yesterday versus you today,” she says. She believes life can be hard but if you work hard you can have a nice life.
I spoke with my 5 classmates /Dave, EZ, Kultush , Mariana, Karolyne . I think everyone very good person and they deserve it a better live. Almost everyone say they childhood dream come to the US. Second questions only Dave think very easy make relationships if someone doesn’t speak a language. I’m sure very hard. Everybody thinks here better a life because they former country have a lot of bad issues. They are all missing family and friends in their former country. No one feels like the United States is their first home, but they love living here in the United States and planning their futures here.
