Introduction
The United States is viewed as the land of milk and honey with the American dream
making it an ideal place to live in. The American dream which rewards hard-work regardless of

he could work hard and earn his citizenship which is an ideal of the American Dream. Years
later, he made a name for himself as a great journalist but the burden of his secret as an
undocumented immigrant, still weighed him down causing him to resign (Vargas, 2011).

banned from the States for ten years. This meant that he would be taken back to a country he
barely remembered and get punished for sins he was not aware were committed. He would suffer
for sins he had not committed when trying to do the right thing.
According to The American Dream, the best way to ensure national progress is by
protecting citizens rights and therefore improving their lives. In the case of Vargas and other
immigrants like him, they do...
