Home for Halloween

Madame Manji told her girls, “When we touched this soil, we won the lottery of life.” She thinks that they won the lottery of life because they arrived to the United States on Halloween of 1972. They arrived to a free part of the refuges to a free part of the world. She is so grateful for their immigration officer that to let them come to the United States. They were going to go to Canada first but always dreamed about coming to America. When that day happened they couldn’t be more thankful. I believe this is a story that everyone should hear about. This is a positive article on immigration and we mostly hear about the negative ones. This tells us a story about a family dreaming on coming to the greatest country in the world. When they arrive here in the United States they really can’t believe it. This also tells us of a story about how badly a family wants to come over to the United States to make their children have a better life. There are so many opportunities for immigrants. Some people believe immigration is bad, but honestly that is what makes our world so diverse.
