America can be a land of opportunity to many people. This is why so many people are still moving to America. America can be a great place to find jobs and improve your living situation. America also gives immigrants things they would not normally receive in their own countries like public education and other social services. Maybe the best reason though is the freedoms that America has that other countries do not.

All sorts of people are always moving to America. When most people move, it is because of work. America, although recently in an economic decline, still has all sorts of jobs open for people. Often these jobs are not the kinds of jobs that most people would find desirable. For instance, the fast food industry is always hiring. Other types of jobs that one might categorize as menial labor are also always hiring. After all who really wants to do a “dirty job” for a living. These types of jobs have very high turn over rates. People do not always realize that in other countries people do not even have the option of taking on a bad job. Those people are moving to America for the opportunity to work at all.

People are not only moving to America for better jobs though. People also move to America for better opportunities available to themselves and their children in the form for free public services. Not every country has things like free education or welfare for those not making enough. Free education is especially attractive to most people in poor countries. It is invaluable to parents who did not have the opportunity to get educated. It gives them hope that their children will have a better childhood than they had. It gives them hope that their children could go on to do great things and not be destined to live the same often times miserable life that their parents had to live. People take so much for granted in America. Even just having public works set up to have working drainage systems is reason enough for some people to consider moving to America.

A thing people say Americans take for granted is their freedom. This is maybe more of a stereotype about Americans. Americans are usually very aware of many of their freedoms. Freedom of religion for instance is very apparent in America. Practicing religions are everywhere and practice very, very openly in America. This is not the case in other countries so people are moving to America to have the same freedom. Another freedom that Americans are very aware of and that is very desirable to those that do not have it, is freedom of speech. Americans definitely know that they can say whatever they want at anytime they choose and do so. Other people are moving to America to do the same.
