The life of an African immigrant
Most of the African immigrants are usually confused when they come to United States, these is because of not being in a developed environment. Most people are usually surprised and rely confused upon arriving at Jf Kennedy airport in New York where you meet all kind of people and many taxi drivers asking you where you are going yet that is not even you destination,immediaterly after being check and cleared at the airport you don't have anybody to guide and these is you first time in search a big airport, so you start asking people for direction and they tell go upstairs take a train to gate 8 then go left and you will see the airline you are looking for, these is usually rely hard coz the place is usually congested the government should find a way to assist people for direction in search place because not everybody is smart in locating places,

After that if for example you are a student you find someone waiting for you at the airport ready to take you to school, life in school is usually so hard because everything is new beginning with students ,the environment especially during winter never used to that kind of cold weather,
Things became even more complicated when you come to foods, the only thing people know is French fries and maybe burgers and just a few things, so these one rely gives people a hard time trying to adapt and fit in because you can't stay hungry.
The last but not the list is the language, its usually hard coz you have to try and twang like the Americans do to try to fit in coz especially if your country was colonized by the British they rely don't get most of the words of what you are saying. That is a part of an immigrant from Africa and I believe pretty much it happens the same to immigrants from other nations, I know the government has supported people like refugees and they have rely taken care of them by even employing people to help them to fit in the American life by showing them stuffs they didn't know but my big question is what is the big difference between an immigrant like for example who has worn a green card and knows nobody hear or only he or she knows just one person from home and upon arrival the person is not even ready to help him to get his life going because one he or she is busy or he is now willing to so my call goes to the government to try and come up with a program to assist immigrants who are have long terms goal of staying at united states at list to help them for the first month.
