Driving Question Continued..
Sorry about that! My computer died! But anyway, we can see that both Cuba and the US were affected by the mass influx of Cubans to America. Pedro Plan had an effect on the laws of the US as well, for a few years after this, the wet-foot-dry-foot rule was applied and this meant that if you have both feet on dry land of the US, you may stay, but if you're not, even if you're only a few feet away from land after traveling hundreds of miles, you are forced to return to your country. This is only one of the many harships that immigrants have endured and continue doing so throughout the years. Now, the citizens of the US have decided that their unemplyment and part of the economic resession is due to us, to the immigrants who have come here and struggled to try and build a new life. They say we take away their jobs, but nobody else except us who are willing to do whatever it takes to survive, would take the jobs such as garbage men, law-mowers, and even housekeeping. Also, the money thet say we take away from them with health matters and everything, the fate of the world in that specific moment is for someone to have to attend the hospital and whether it is an immigrant or a US citizen has nothing to do with it; if it wouldn't have been the immigrant it could have easily been any US citizen. In conclusion, the immigration of people out of their homeland, into the US, has many effects on both countries.

I totally agree with what you're saying here. Immigration effects both countries that people are leaving and going to. I really like how you gave examples in this, such as the issue of employing immigrants, and just got to the point without too much fluff.
