What would our lives be like if our forefathers had never settled in North America? We might not even be here today. They were immigrants and they were very important to our country. Without these immigrants we would not be here today to talk about what good they have been to our country, the United States of America. What would our lives be like had these people not given up their life as they knew it to start a new life for the next generation? Now we are talking about why immigrants are still important in the United States today. Life changes every day but immigrants are still important to the United States and they will always be important to the United States. Immigration changed America to what we know it as today, and in the near future immigration will change America once again. So, do not keep this change from happening because if you want your children to live a life as an American, you are going to have to let this country change to a new dimension.
