Ch.15

In this particular chapter I found it interesting to read about "immigrants always having the dirtiest jobs". I have always heard that but I would not have expected to have been said in this book. Immigrants did not mind doing the dirty jobs, because all they wanted is to get paid and save money for their families or to build a better home in their country. Todays immigrants are said to bring badly needed professional skills to the the U.S.For instance, in many public hospitals we will see Asians working and part of the reason is because a-they are needed and b-they bring that educational background with them from their country.

When Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba more than 150,000 Cubans came to the United States running away from Castro and the changes he was going to do. Many people ask "how did many of these immigrants arrive to the U.S?" There was not any direct flights to the U.S. so many of these people came through small boats or they took other routes like through Mexico or Europe. Many Cubans and their descendants are in Florida or Miami. They have a high population of their people their and the roots of these people have increased over time.
