How might the disadvantage of immigration affect the chances of having that American Dream?

How might one move to the usa if the cost of living is so high. people in third world countries like honduras struggle paycheck to paycheck, some want to move to the usa to have that american dream that they see in the tv or hear from other people. It cost about :”500 to 700” dollars just for the flight . “Costly, Ramires C. "Honduras." Practical Travel Information on Money and Costs in. TAM, Mar.-Apr. 2007. Web. 22 Oct. 2013. Having to spend that amount of money is a big disadvantage , because people who are already in the usa , and they want to live that american dream don't have to waste the extra money on just getting to america.

The main problem that causes an unsteady job for immigrants that have a language barrier is that many pretend that they know what they understand what the boss or the instructor says by saying yes , because thats the typical response for a hispanic immigrant , i know this from personal experience because when i first came to america when someone would talk to me and i did not know what they were saying so i would just say yes , because it is a natural response. Thats the case for the immigrant , they would just say yes for the bosses , or directors to leave them alone.

Many immigrants don't know how to even start . imagine if you were looking at a basement full of dirt clothes and a bunch of garbage. Some will just stand there wondering what do i even start with.
