The American Dream from an illegal Alien

Walking through the Arizona desert with a baby in her arms, Brenda tries to

handle 100 degrees fahrenheit and scarce of food resources, she pursues the

American Dream, a dream that refuses to fade from her consciousness. Mexico still

believe in the American Dream and are willing to sacrifice their homes, their families,

even their lives to achieve it.

Many immigrants lose their life trying to achieve the american dream, because

they know that their life will be much better in this country with less corruption from the

government, and running from the drug cartels in Mexico.

There are many reasons why mexicans take the risk of coming to the USA. One

of them is that their relatives have achieve a better way of living and a huge difference

in the pay grade, in mexico the US dollar is worth 17 times for a mexican peso. Another

thing that mexicans like about coming to the USA is their security, less crime. Based on

my own experience this is a very safe place to live, because I have the ability to make

comparisons on both places, since I was raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. Me siento

protegida y con mucha seguridad, siento que tengo la libertad de salir a la calle sin el

miedo a ser secuestrada, juzgada o lastimada.

One of the best things of the United States is the opportunities that provided you to

keep educating yourself to be better in life. The life in this side is more comfortable from

home to work, in every prescriptive, the roads and highways are in much better

conditions, transportation more safe, metro, trams and bus service more affordable and

reliable for everyone. The drivers here are more respectful, courteous and actually obey
the law, because in mexico nobody follows the laws of driving.

Thousands of Mexicans undertake a long road to the United States every day in

search of the American dream, many of them manage to reach the other side, but many

more remain halfway. They go in search of better opportunities, of being able to find a

good job that pays enough to be able to pay their debts that they surely left in Mexico, to

survive in country , or to send money to the family they left behind. in Mexico

Just as many people do very poorly , there are also many others who are lucky

and really find a good job. Those Mexicans who achieve what they were looking for,

may start in a job that does not pay very well, like doing the garden, in the field, working

in a fast food store among other things, but Mexicans are usually very hardworking and

ambitious, so soon the bosses realize their good performance and begin to raise them

of positions. Thus, they can start saving money so they can continue sending money to

their family that expects this amount each week, or they can save to take their whole

family, which is very common lately.

Nowadays if a Mexican tries his best and really works a lot, he can have a much

better life than he would have in Mexico, and even a better life than an average

American. On the other hand, there are others who do not have the same fate, for one

thing or another, and even if they try hard, they cant move forward and stay in the same

job for less pay, instead of looking for a better job with more money at the end of the

week. Many of them send a little money for their families that they left in Mexico. Many

construction workers after working for several years for example doing concrete, they

start their own company with the help of friends and co-workers. By doing this they can

live decently and they don’t have to work hard. In contrast, if a mexican stays working
as an employee he will have to work long hours to be able to support their family and it's

also hard for them to get a better job without a college degree.
