Struggles Mexicans Suffer Trying To Reach The American Dream

 When leaving your home country, the last thing that's on your mind is getting deported. Deported to the land that saw you be born, the land you are leaving behind to find a brighter future for your loved ones. But what assures you that you won't get deported when following your American Dream? Nothing, there is absolutely nothing that will help you. On the contrary, it seems as though everything is against you.  Many political parties don't seem to see or even care what a family goes through when their loved one is deported. Mothers, fathers, and children lose loved ones due to deportation daily. And most of the people that are being deported are honest people that are only trying to support their families. What happens with a USA-born child's parents being deported? Do the political parties ever ask themselves that question? Do they care?

       Inequality is defined as income being distributed unevenly to a group of people.  This is another important factor that plays a large role in reaching the American Dream.  Many Acts have been passed throughout time but it seems as though no matter what they're still is that financial inequality there.  Job pay should be determined by the education level or job experience a person has.  But inequality kicks in when it's determined by sex or race.  That's when it becomes unfair. Many have suffered the effects and ripples of white supremacy and pay inequality.  Since there has been a need to work to maintain a family or even pay the bills for some reason it seems as though money is never enough.  According to the article "Wage Discrimination Based on Gender and Race", by Angela Kennedy, Eiko Nagata, Brandy P.

    Immigrants have migrated from Mexico since the beginning of time.  Although migration doesn't just come from people in Mexico.  People from all over the world come in search of the American Dream, for some is harder than others to get here.  But sometimes not even deserts or the ocean itself stops them from migrating.  In the United States, people migrate from all continents.  The majority of migration occurs due to violence that happens all over the world.  People put themselves in danger to make it to the United States.  This was the case for the migrates that were coming from Central America.  According to one of the travelers, "We haven't eaten anything in many days".  They don't have the money to buy things along the way because they are fleeing.   Sometimes migration occurs due to living in bad situations and having a bad economy in their place of origin.  They travel to the United States in search of a safe...
