Why I'm Immigrating
Right now in Mexico Porfirio Diaz is the president but he’s more like a ruler. Also the deadly disease: Typhus is wiping out our people. I wish to start a new life in America. -

Immigration Timeline

The New Hope Hotel
I have been staying at one of the cheapest hotels I can find. I guess you get what you pay for because just yesterday I found a dead rat in my bed. -
Not Sneaky Enough
While I was browsing in the market two young children were caught trying to steal a loaf of bread. I felt bad for them because they must not have very much money. I then purchased the bread for them. -
Getting Antsy
The streets that I live on are starting to get crowded. I need to move and start my dream farm. -
The Act that Changed Me
The immigration act has just been made. Now is the perfect time to go to the west to start my farm. There will be much less competition now. -
Back Pains
I finally decided to go to the west. After one day my back is killing me. Although that is not going to stop me. -
The Noise in the Dark

High Expectations
About noon today I ran into a camp and settled down for a bit. There I met a man who was hoping of traveling to Oregon to strike it rich in a mine. I do not think that he will find anything -
Over the Years
It’s been three years since I got to the west. I have now started a successful farm with many vegetables and a couple animals.
