Today we will look at Immigration to the United States during the turn of the century. Please complete the hand out on new immigrants and learn about who was coming to the US, the reasons, and many of the hardships they faced. Then you will reflect on your own experience and how you were able to arrive here in San Diego. When did your family first come to the United States and why? What hardships do they face when they arrived? Speak to parents, grandparents, and any other family members or guardians to help you with this assignment. You may write about one side of the family or both. Do your best to get as much information as you can.
