here is the prompt provided:
One of the many fields of historical endeavor is research in immigration history. You need to be part of this larger ongoing process of inquiry. So for this assignment, you should identify and interview and immigrant to the United States and then write an interview paper based on what you have discovered and learned. This paper should be five-to-ten pages in length doubled-spaced (half that length, if single-spaced). Among other issues, the interview and the paper should deal with conditions in the “old country,” why that person wanted to come here or had to come here, how they came, and what problems they face or faced in assimilation and acculturation. In your paper, you should compare and contrast this individual’s experience with the New Immigration of the late 19th and early 20th century and with recent immigration streams. Your immigrant can come from anywhere in the world, and what you find is what you find, whether or not your immigrant’s experience conforms to the generalizations. There is no right answer. 5 pages in mla format double spaced.

Values everything america stands for because life in israel is 10x more difficult to live, work, buy a home. Many immigrants who work hard to come into the country leagally respect the values because they know it’s so much better then the alternative. Immigrants are the backbone of this. When they are grateful to be here verses their born country when they have to live 7 in a bedroom and can’t make a living wage.
If he stayed in israel at the end of his schooling they’re put thru a rigorous testing and placed into a certain branch in the military. Which helps get them in the real world.
