I introduce the notion of spaces and exchanges. Today, the economic crisis affects many homes forcing some people to leave their homeland for a country more developed like America. This is the case of latinos in the United States, which represents seventeen percent of the population. But go to a new country is not synonymous for a better life. Indeed, there are many difficulties to integrate and live outside the law. Thus, for the latinos who cross the american border in the grass greener in the US? Initially, we will see the benefits of leaving his country for a new life before seeing the disadvantages.,,

The border acts like a magnet for Mexican immigrants who dream of a better life in the USA. Mexicans want to escape from poverty, many of them live below the poverty line. There are also a high unemployment rate in mexico and there is no proper healthcare system. They hope for a better life in the US and and they want tofind job there. US companies look for workers who can work. They also may escape from crime and corruption. That is the reason why many destitute Mexicans cross the border, whether legally or illegally.Indeed, according to the document on Mexico-USA immigration, many Mexicans cross the border with the help of smuggler called "coyote" that takes advantage of their desperation asking two thousand dollars. Besides, according to the document on the latinos, immigration tends to create a multicultural society like latinos because they even bring their own culture to the US.

Moreover, while they move to America hoping for better prospects, they are often offered at difficult jobs and accept low wages. In the interview of Al Jezeera, Jose, an illegal immigrant who lives and live in the USA, says that there fear out and fear for his family. He is ready to perform any job to feed his family. Currently, the issue of Mexican immigration is a sensitive issue since the passage of Donald Trump in the presidential elections. Indeed, he wants to close the borders of his country and extend the wall that separates it from the Mexico to reduce immigration

Thus, some people change their lives by changing countries like Jelissa but integration can be difficult as Jose. In addition, Mexicans represent more than half of the immigrants in the USA and while some Americans aim at limiting their numbers, others view them as a cheap labour force. As a result, immigration is a highly controversial issue.
