4 TEXT The Old News Volume IMMIGRATION: WHY PEOPLE COME Immigration is nothing new. People are always moving from one country to another. Think about the United States in Did you know that 1.3 million people came into the U.S. in one year? There are many reasons why people immigrate. Let s look back to 1907 in America. New machines were invented that made life easier for people. Farming machines made food easier to plant and grow. Factories popped up in cities everywhere. People worked in them to make clothes, shoes, and other items. Consequently, people found work in many places. America also let people worship how they wanted because of a free government. 1.3 million people came into the United States in Immigrants landing at Ellis Island, New York in the early 1900s. NOTE: Immigrate is the verb you use when people come to another country. Immigration is the noun you use to talk about the topic. Immigrant is the noun you use talk about a person who has come to a new country. In Europe, some people wanted to leave. Citizens could not follow their beliefs and were punished for those beliefs. Some were forced into fighting in wars. In other countries, a terrible crop disease happened. This blight caused crops to die. As a result, many people starved. People had no jobs. They could not feed their families. So, they took the difficult trip across the Atlantic Ocean and came to America. Often, many people got sick at sea from diseases. They never made it to the U.S. Others could not pass certain tests. Therefore, they were sent back to their home countries. There are many reasons why people immigrate. Sometimes they come by choice and sometimes because of hard lives. The bottom line is this: immigration has been around for a very long time. page 4
