In his essay, Sanders states how immigrants grow in knowledge and ideas and end up establishing a new worldview, in addition to a new environment. For this reason, he says that immigrants are people who take root in ideas and not in places.
To support this statement, Sanders shows how migration arises from the idea of achieving greater qualities of life, greater opportunities and a search for success. Niguem leaves his homeland, without these ideas providing the fuel for the immigrant to overcome all the challenges that migration will bring to his life.
With that, Sanders shows that moving goes beyond the change of place, of the environment, but it is a change of thought, of struggle and of wills.
