Vietnamesse

. During the years of 1975 125,000 came to the USA from vietnam. . They had closed ties . Two years after the very first wave, refugees were low. They were in the thousands other years later . Some of the waves continued when 200,000 Vietnamese people immigrated, in 1980 and 1981

Push Factors

. Instability was created by Vietnam war . This was the main cause for immigrants moving to the USA . But the South Vietnamese people were not ready for war . Also the poor immigrants was also a result of being unprepared . Poor immigrants also led to a bad political place, and they struggled economically

Pull Factors

. A incredible amount of people who were immigrants camr to USA as refugees . The USA was the only country that was kind enough to accept any immigrant that was poor, and looking for a job

This is what some of our immigrants have to say

Housing

Us immigrants are smart people who care about our family. What we think a perfect complete family is not only just parents, but grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins too. We think families are important to us, although most of us Vietnamese people live by ourselves. We stay close to our parents mostly because they are the birth givers, and they know things best. We live in either suburb, or urban areas.

Employment Us Vietnamese people are very good with things like machines, and electric things. We have alot of Vietnamese people who are employed. About ten percent of us were already employed by the 1990's. Our buisnesses are growing really fast, but it just shows how serious we are about achieving life. Our people who joined the army got a lot of attention from everyone. Also alot of oue people went on to collage.

Sterotypes

Well we do not get a lot of attention, but the only time we do get a lot of attention is when our Vietnamese men join the army. But we do not to much worry about that because we are focused on school. But we did have trouble with things because we were discriminated against.
