=Effects of Immigration= a. A tenement house is a spall apartment where most immigrants lived. However, their small size was usually inadequate to house large immigrant families. As a result, most tenements were cramped, dirty, and festered in disease. b. Immigration led to the creation of tenement housing because a cheap, effective solution was needed to provide shelter for the influx of incoming immigrants. Tenement housing was the answer. Stuffing great numbers of people into relatively small homes, no matter the outcome, was ther most efficient answer. c. Life for new immigrants in the early 1900's was difficult. For adults, they had to work endlessly to make ends meet. Finding a job amidst the massive competition was, in itself, a great challenge. For children, education was usually denied to them. Their families needed them t owork to provide additional income. LIfe in tenements was poor. Large families cramped into a small compartment made them easy prey for disease and filth. d. Potential obstacles for arriving immigrants in the early 1900s would be not being able to find a job, or not being able to make enough money to support the entire family. Another problem would be being denied access to the country by the doctors at the entrance in Ellis Island. The entire trip from your home country to America would have been a vain effort, and a gigantic waste of time.



=Illegal Immigration= Illegal Immigration needs to be stopped. It is a major hindrance to the United States. Many illegals cross the border into the United States to commit crimes. 10,000 citizens are killed by these pathetic cowards every year. If illegal immigration was stopped, both sides would benefit. Illegally accessing the US isn't the easiest feat in the first place. To cross the border, many need to walk across a desert. Most die along the way. And even if they make it, they have no resources and must resort to committing crimes just to get by. So why bother? Stay in Mexico. The US spends many resources on the border patrol, since they have such fancy cars, but it is apparently not enough. Illegals need to be cracked down on, for the sake of our safety.
