Introduction

My homeland Iraq is one of the most controversial countries globally, given that it has

undergone war for the longest period. Therefore, it has to the immigration of multiple people

such as my family from Iraq to the United States seeking refuge. However, it is my homeland,

and I love my people. Nonetheless, we have suffered significantly from the afflictions that war

has brought upon our lives. One would argue that the controversy arises from the cultural and

religious distinctions that exist globally. While multiple countries perform our holy faith, which

is Muslim, most do not, which creates a cultural and religious barrier. For instance, in my class at

the University in the Unites States, I observed that the number of Muslim students are

significantly low. However, we can all agree that the central controversial aspect of my country,

Iraq is that we have significantly struggled with war for many years, such as the between the

United States, which lasted a period of 8 years is that it begins in 2003 to 2011 which I am

capable of remembering being that I am currently 22 years. Hence, at the end of the war, I was

11 years and could understand what was happening. However, we moved from one battle to the

next thus have never found peace.

The effects of the war could still be felt years after the long war had ended, for us, the

new generation of Iraqi that managed to immigrate we struggle with the effects of war. We were

told of a time of peace that reigned all over the country, but the sounds of helicopters reminded

my family that those times were far gone when they were living in Iraq. I didn't experience the

war first hand, but my family did before we came to the United States, and they tell me about the

constant state of fear they were in when in Iraq. My family grew up in Azzizayah, or at least

what remained of it, a small town near the city of Baghdad. With each passing day, they dreamed

of freedom, away from their home country to a place where they could pursue their dreams.

Consequently, my family moved to Baghdad a few months into 1990, closer to the green

zone and where they sought to immigrate out of Iraq. In the stories that my family tells me, there

was heavy security detail from the United States Army who had presence in Baghdad, and most

of them looked just a few years older than me at the time. They carried big guns and road in

armored vehicles, which my family considered the norm at the time, which was nothing less than

tragic.

Consequently, immigration became a solution for some of my people. I mean, which

other choice is here except to escape if you fear for your life, cannot earn a living but still want

to live a fulfilled life, which was my family's desire. Every human being wants more for

themselves because while some have their individual needs to care for, some also have children

they need to provide for and ensure that the next generation is protected. This refers to me, and I

as the generation that benefited from the immigration because I am currently a resident in the

United States doing a double major in Radiologic Technology and Nursing.

However, the solution comes with challenges because the United States has not accepted

my culture and religion due to the war from Iraq and other Muslim countries. I have had first-

hand experience of the negative side of immigration in the United States, being that some

citizens are not as accepting as they should be, being that at the core, we are all the same.

Therefore, this topic on immigration is significantly important to me because while immigration

gives my people opportunities to escape the war, they still have to fight another indirect war of

racism in the receiving countries, which in this case is the United States.

I have seen that the effects of the US Iraq war left millions of Iraqis displaced internally

and living the harsh realities that come with war, in the case of the more impoverished Iraq.

However, I also know that some Iraqis lacked the means to immigrate and were forced to live in
