A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller

In A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller there are a couple of characters that immigrated to the United States illegally. They came to the country though for the same reason that many immigrants or illegal immigrants come to our country today. They wanted what's best for their family. Marco is more of Eddie's favorite instead of Rodolpho. Marco immigrated to the U.S. for the sole purpose of making money and sending it back to his wife and children who live in Italy. He has some challenges though like all illegal immigrants. Marco has to work hard for his money and he has to be careful in what he gets himself involved in. One false move and he can be back on a boat to Italy. Marco faces a lot of challenges that immigrants in America do everyday. Rodolpho is the other person that immigrated to the United States. Rodolpho also had a some what difficult time since he came to this country illegally. Like Marco, he has to work hard to make money and he has to be careful so he doesn't get sent back. Rodolpho though seems to fool around in America. He buys himself everything and sends little money back home to his family. It seems like he is having an easier time immigrating to America since he is fooling around more. He has a girlfriend and he acts really outgoing. If you didn't know he was an immigrated you would think of him as a regular American citizen.
