(Ryan, 2000, p.35). There are many reasons migrant families leave their countries. They might be forced out, for political or economic reasons, or because they have family already living in the United States. However, the main goal for many is to become more like Miguel explained. For any migrant child living in the Central Valley they can connect to this American dream because that is what their family is trying to do.
Chinese people came to America for opportunities to support their families in the 1800s. It all started when slavery was abolished. The sudden lack of labor created a shortage of workers in the nation’s economy. The immigrants rushed into the country to fill the empty positions at plantations. Many of them came as indentured servants, which were men who recruited workers and paid for their transportation in exchange for a period of labor with little to no profit.
Families had no other choice than to live crammed into small spaces if they wanted to live close to their work. Immigrant workers were going to endure whatever conditions they had to as their goal was to make enough money to send home or bring the rest of their family

Chinese Immigrants in Northern California Throughout its history the United States has seen a great ebb and flow in the amount of immigrants entering the country. For a country that was founded by immigrants many of its policies in the 19th and 20th centuries sought to exclude and limit the amount of immigrants coming from many continents, including Asia and Africa. Chinese Immigrants increasingly started showing up in Northern California at the start of the gold rush in 1849 and would establish a large enclave known as China Town in San Francisco. Immigrants from China were particularly targeted with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, that made illegal, the influx of Chinese laborers that had been migrating to the US just a few years prior.
When the Chinese arrived, they would wait for days, even months in the barracks of the immigration station for their interrogation that would allow them to gain entry into the United States. Their journey to America was rough, and there was almost no support for the immigrants. While living in America, the mass majority of Chinese immigrants were poor and experienced terrible living and working conditions. Many died from the toxic chemicals in the gold mines, and from the diseases transmitted from one worker to another. Often, supervisors of the mines would take advantage of the Chinese workers’ inexperience and would pay them low wages for dangerous
It was a ten year moratorium on Chinese labor immigration. In order to legally immigrate, citizens were required to have certification from the government to prove they were not laborers. The act defined the excludables as skilled and unskilled laborers and Chinese employed in mining. (Chinese

Another reason for coming to the U.S. for them, was because of the California gold rush.
Polish immigrants did not seem to face the same struggles the Asian population had to endure, I believe this is due to the fact that they were European immigrants, nevertheless they still encountered hardships. During the 1890s polish immigrant was the highest level, and this caused some problems for American citizens and they became intolerant towards the immigrants. Some returned to their homeland, while it made other immigrants fight harder and rely on each other, They formed many groups, such as the Polish Union, the Polish National Alliance, the Polish American Congress, and even the Polish Roman Catholic Union. I think some of the Americans were under the impression more would return home, but that wasn’t the case (Asian American History
People like foreigners and women were presented with challenges on their journey. In fact, in 1882 the campaign to restrict immigration created the federal Chinese Exclusion Act, which stopped the Chinese from migrating for 10 years. This prevented the Chinese from achieving the American Dream for that time period. Also, the government placed a tax on immigrant mining, charging them $500 a month, in this time (Maranzani). Women also had a difficult time during the Gold Rush.

Based on extensive research and the overwhelming amount of serial killer cases, it seems as if identifying a serial killer or recognizing the signs of one would be easier with the modern technology and sciences we have today. This is not the case, however, as there are extensive profiling strategies and origins in which a serial killer can bloom from. Pinpointing exact turning moments for a potential killer can be difficult, as many face suppressed memories from their childhoods and variables which ultimately impact their mental health. Understanding the mind of a serial killer goes deeper than knowing family background, but conflicts in personality and genes. Pinpointing potential serial killers by examining a range of suspects’ psychological
Asian American parents see the future in the USA, so they decided to immigrate there. They raise their children and give them the best of essential things. Relatively they would hope they can depend on their children and expect their children to achieve the goals that they didn’t achieve, yet. But also, parents just want their children to be well in the future. However, it was tough for Asian parents to be immigrants because they spend lots of time and money to come to the USA without any support in the past.
