I am looking for stories of how people come to the US and how they have better themselves in the US. Some have come with false documents, in containers, walking, on a boat or many other different ways and once here how they get aquainted / prosper in this society. The country of origin is important.

I happen to be lucky enough to come out of the right vagina and was born here.
I am currently researching exactly where my ancestors came from. I know a little but since my paternal grandfather died in WWII defending this country, it's hard to find info on his sid eof the family and my maternal grandmother died when my mother was 4, hard to find info about her side of the family either.
Still looking...been hard though.

Born in the USA. Great grandparents came from Poland through Ellis Island and same for the other grandparents from Germany.
They came and were proud to be in America, worked their butts off to better themselves and thought taking anything for nothing was a disgrace and meant they were beggars. Would rather starve then ask for a handout. To bad that is not the way it is now, now people think its owed to them, a god given right. And the tax payers just keep getting taxed to death to pay for the bums.

I was born here, but my grandparents were immigrants. My maternal grandmother came here from Poland via ship through Ellis Island when she was a teenager. My paternal grandfather made his way on foot from the Ukraine through Europe and Canada and, finally, to Detroit. All of my grandparents came from Eastern Europe at young ages looking for a better life. They found it here. I am grateful that they came here!

Its so funny because not all mexican's are immigrants Ok so all of you answering questions and talking about sending back mexicans should we send back your parents and grandparents doesn't matter if they worked there butts off and were not beggars nor criminals all of you stated being here in the US illegaly is a crime so I guess they too have committed a crime so there for when the bus comes don't forget to pack your bags. This is a brilliant question because now all the bigots have answered thanks

From a mother ship. The USA looks great from outer space.
This internet thing is somewhat cool, but your transportation system sucks.
