Immigrants often don't know what immigration means until they become immigrants. Only when in a country something goes wrong, its citizens need and want to live their homeland. In a state of peace, people do not depart from their native country. Sometimes, the choice to leave everything – and often nothing – they own in their nation is not a happy choice. Often, it is a forced way out, but it also an unconscious act because immigrants have no idea of what they will go through after they will leave their familiar soil. They have no idea of the suffering they will encounter on their journey. If they knew it, probably they would have remained poor for the rest of their life and die in their motherland.
Immigrants double their working hours to show their new country that they can make it, and that they are entitled to be there. Immigrants take all the scraps, the hunger, the harshness of the native citizens: whatever unfortunate events happen in a country, it is considered the result of the immigrants’s sin.
That of the immigrants is a story of survival.
