MY IMMIGRANT STORY

By Remigio

When I came to United States for the first time it was very hard for me to cross the border.I spent two weeks in Tijuana trying to crossing the border. the INS caught me and put me in jail for one month.My family thought I had died. They were very sad.When I left, I promised I had to cross the border and that's why I'm here. I never got back untill I got-my resident card and I want to get my citizenship soon.

When I was in Mexico before I came to United States, I enjoyed the holidays in my Rancho. The fair was fantastic and the food was very good.I recomend the beaches the sand and the beautiful ocean water isn't that cold and you can ride motorboats. The restaurants sell good sea food espcially fresh fish and shrimps.

Now my life is very good. I have a job and I'm studying to get a better job to support my family and help my children with their homework. My goal in the future is to be a welder and make good money and to buy my own house.
