Question+Four

Question Four Compare research with people who are of different nationalities:

Immigrants: “America offers dramatic mobility for immigrants,” said Ron Haskins, the author of //Economic Mobility of Immigrants in the United States//. America is the land of opportunity, so immigrants are able to pursue jobs and education just as much as natural born Americans. Immigrants do not get the same kind of education and opportunities in other countries like they do in America. People from other countries also do not get the same kind of freedom that we Americans do. That is a lot of the reason why immigrants come to America. - Martin Matoda, from Bulgaria, is an example of an immigrant that came to America looking for the American dream in education. Martin said, "After graduating high school, I decided I was looking for a better education and a better life. The education system in Bulgaria, it's very different from what it is here. It's more academically oriented, rather than practical. And that's why people from all over the world, they want to come here and study and get a hands-on experience and then maybe get a couple of years of real work experience after they get their degree." -Nick Injow from Nairobi, Kenya says, "I was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. And I came to the United States. I've been here 10 years. I'm a trained accountant. I joined an accountant firm, went to college in the United Kingdom, and I studied - I majored in economics and social sciences. When I returned to my country, Kenya, back in the late 1990s, there were no opportunities because the political system had run down the economy. Then the opportunity to come to America just surfaced. Everybody was very excited." The American Dream is greatly alive for immigrants who come to America.

Natural Born Citizens: The American Dream for natural born citizens of America is prosperity for its people. Citizens of America of every rank feel they can reach a fuller, richer, and happier life if they work hard enough for it. That is the American dream for anyone who lives in America. That is also why people immigrate to America, because they wanted a happier, richer, or fuller life. The American Dream is also in the Declaration of Independence, "All men are created equal." Also, Citizens of American have certain rights such as, "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness". Natural born Americans get a certain sense of Freedom that other countries do not get to experience sometimes. This is the known American Dream of America.
