 * Day 1 Introduction**

== =[|Mexican Shooting.doc]= __**Day 2:Effects of Immigration**__ A. A tenement house is a house or an apartment that immigrants coming to the U.S. lived in when they arrived. The houses were very crowded and small with only 3 or 4 rooms for large amounts of immigrants. Small run-down. B. Immigration led to the creation of tenement housing in that more immigrants resulted in more residents living in urban areas and also more immigrants working in industry such as the factories. C. Life for new immigrants in the early 1900s was very difficult because they had to travel through Ellis Island and endure multiple scans to see if the immigrants were sick or not. Also with the tenements immigrants were very overcrowded. The tenements were very poor hoomes for immigrants who had large families. D. Some forseen problems for immigrants could be racism by certain social groups. Also, poor living conditions could be a foreseen problem.

__**Illegal Immigration**__ Illegal Immigrants go through many different routes and use bridges and other tactics to cross over illicitly into the U.S. Also, the U.S. uses dogs, helicopters and patrols as a means to stop these illegal aliens. Smugglers use shuttle vans to carry large quantities of illegal immigrants to the U.S. One case involving Gilmer Hernanadez, a cop, displayed the growing issue of illegal immigration and the extent of the law. The cop shot at the tires of a car harboring 9 illegals and one was injured. The cop was prosecuted and sentenced to jail for a year by the Attorney General for Western Texas, John Sutton, who has a history of prosecuting cops involved in immigration cases.
