INTRODUCTION TO NEW MATERIAL

Immigration is when someone moves to a different country forever.

Immigration has always been a part of our country’s history. Everyone
living in the United States has immigrated (moved) here from somewhere
else.
Even though the United States is “a country of immigrants”. Immigration
has been a problem in the past and continues to be today. Let’s read to
learn about it.
