Emigrant Exodus

Embed:
The United States is a diverse land settled by millions of immigrants and their descendants. These immigrants from across the globe lived in lands as immensely exotic as China, as breathtakingly beautiful as the “Emerald Isle” of Ireland, and as lushly forested as the jungles of Vietnam. Despite the seeming wonders and beauty each land has to offer, vast numbers of people have chosen to leave. Why would so many abandon their homes in favor of foreign soil thousands of miles away? Many immigrants have willingly endured danger and hardship in order to leave impoverished homelands that denied them the basic rights of human survival.
