   The United States is a country of immigrants, all gathered
    here because of different struggles. In some cases, it was
    because of religious prejudices. In others it was because of
    the violence that had taken over their country. In many
    cases, however, the migration to the United States was
    because of extreme poverty or hunger and the idea of a
    better life in America. They all wanted a shot at the American
    Dream, unaware of the price they would have to pay.
The Irish Potato Famine (1845)
A Starving Boy on the Latin American streets (Present)
PolPolitical Unrest and Violence in Germany (1848)
Drug War Violence in Mexico (Present)
The journey to the United States was just the start of the
many struggles that they would have to face in order to
achieve the American Dream. The European immigrants
would have to make the trip across the Atlantic in ships called
“coffin ships” where the mortality rate was 30%. The Latin
American immigrants not only have to face the dangers of the
border and desert, but many have to face the challenge of
riding trains to get across Mexico.
European Immigrant’s First View of America (1800s)
The First Leg of the Journey (Present)
The Second Leg of the Journey (Present)
Both groups of immigrants would face discrimination while America. The
European immigrants would eventually overcome the discrimination.
Irish Discrimination (1862)
The discrimination against Hispanics, especially Mexicans is an ongoing
   problem. As a result of preconceived notions, even legal citizens of
   Hispanic descent see discrimination and prejudice. Thankfully, other
   groups of immigrants have faced the same difficulties and overcome
   them. Someday Hispanics will see the same results.
