immokalee vs. my home

Immokalee is very much so a spitting image of the old America. My first time hearing about Immokalee was when i went to a drag race to watch a family friend race. Passing through Immokalee i did not really see much besides farms a few buildings and more farms over vast expanses of open land the town of Immokalee sits on. Immokalee is very different from Fort Myers for one Fort Myers has a much larger population not only does it have a much larger population there are many major stores such as Target, Sports Authority along with many others. Immokalee is also very different from where i grew up which is in Pembroke Pines. Pines grew at a much faster pace than Immokalee. It seems that one could say that Immokalee is "behind the beat" when it comes to industrializing and growing into a city that is heard of not a city that nobody knows of.
At the rate Immokalee is growing in 10 years i personally do not see it getting much bigger. I am sure someone will come along and realize the potential behind the city of Immokalee and want to make it a better place and want to industrialize the area but until then it will still continue to grow at the slow rate it is.

One of the main ideas the author has throughout the article was how America is seen as the place to be. America is seen as a free place which it is and people from all across the world are willing to do whatever it takes to get here and have this freedom they are even willing to put themselves and their families in danger in order to live a better life than the one lived in their homeland. Immigration is starting to become a problem in this country. The law for immigration now is called wet feet dry feet meaning if a immigrant is found on US soil they can stay but if caught in the water they get sent back to their country.
I personally feel that our country needs to control immigration better than they do now. Immigration is really hurting our country the government pays the immigrants to live in our country and they take the jobs that American could have and they send the money back to their homelands creating a lack of circulation of currency in the United States. In turn creating a slump in the economy along with other things.
