Q. a. What is a tenement house? (You may have to search other sites to answer this question) b. How did immigration lead to the creation of tenement housing? c.

A. a. A tenement house is a run down apartment that barely meets minimum standards. During the early 1900's Immigrants coming to the US lived in these and they were often cramped up. 10 people were usually living in these. b. There were alot of immigrants so they needed more housing. c. Basically life for new immigrants in the early 1900's was setteling down finding a house, food job, clothes, etc. d. Some potential obstacles that I forsee for recently arrived immigrants in the early 1900's are finding a good job that pays well as well as finding a place to live.

__**Day 3: Arizona Law sb1070** Immigration On Americas South Border__ Illegal immigrants get smuggled into america. Its very risky and you could be sentenced to jail for a long time if you are caught smuggling. One example of this is a guy named Alfredo. Alfredo was smuggling some immigrants into America by bypassing checkpoints. He knew an alternative route but one of the immigrants got sick and could'nt walk. Alfredo abbandoned them but was soon caught and sentenced to ten years in prison. Another incedent about smuggling happened in texas where officer Gilmer pulled over a car full of immigrants. The immigrants drove off and Gilmer shot at the vehicle. He fired six shots one of them hitting an immigrant in the face. The immigrants did not get in any trouble, but officer Gilmer was sentenced to a year and a day in jail.

Good afternoon.**

Good Afternoon


 * Are you ready to be interviewed?**

Yes I am. I waited six long months. I filled out a bunch of paper works and it took them a long time to get back to me after I filled out each document. They then said that I was ready to come to the U.S. legally. The hardest part was waiting for the green card because I thought that I they had forgotten about me, but they finally got back to me. 6 long months. Well one challenge is getting a job. It is hard to get a decent job with accent, my appearance, and my little skill in the American workforce. I am thinking about going to school to learn nursing so I can get a job. Yes to some extent I do. Since there is many diversity here in America it is not hard to fit in and be accepted by the people. Yes I do I have my two sister and one brother. I live with them both in an apartment. I feel that such laws are wrong and shouldn’t be made. I see it as a way to get all immigrants ouot of America. Why even accept them in the first place. I think that there are other ways to catch illegal immigrants I believe that it makes things hard for us Mexicans who don’t do anything wrong. Now I see a some of people look at me a little weird like I might do something wrong. Even coming into this country was hard for me because I had to go through so much securtity at the border. They asked me so many questions. That is a very interesting question. First of all, in terms of jobs, they should make it easier to acquire one to support oneself so you should end up on the street. Meanwhile they should set up a place for support. Later One can find a job and a house to live in. Also the wait should be shorter. Overall though, it should it is a good process. Your welcome.
