Chapter 14

                    I found that reading about Asian Immigrants was a bit more interesting since it is something I can relate to. Although I am a first generation, I do not remember much from my immigration process because I came here at a very young age. I remember being on an airplane that took me halfway around the world, and how uncomfortable my first plane ride had been. According to my dad, there wasn’t much complication with the immigration documents and everything went as planned. Since I was only four years old at the time, I didn’t understand what was going on. I did not even know what America was, let alone where it was. Most of the information in this chapter describes the push and pull factors for immigrants in the earlier times. However, because I came in a later time, my push and pull factors were completely different than what was mentioned in the text. However, I do have a few family members who immigrated to the U.S. during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their reasons for immigrating and the situation they were in were similar to what was described in the book. Being able to make these connections and comparisons made the chapter more fascinating to read.
