The Dust Bowl was a severe dust storm that ravaged the Southern Plains in the 1930s, causing many residents of this region to lose their livelihoods and homes, and ultimately migrate to California. Even though the Dust Bowl survivors fled their homes out of desperation in search of a new place to live, many Californians did not want the survivors immigrating to their state. Some of the Californians believed they were intruders, competing for land and jobs. Write an essay that argues your viewpoint on this topic. Were the survivors of the Dust Bowl intruders or refugees? Support your claim with reasons and evidence.

When the Dust Bowl was happening, the weather destroyed almost all the crops farmers tried to grow in the Great Plains. About 2.5 million people gathered up their families. They moved out of the Plains. Many of these people went to California hoping to find work on large farms. They had no purpose of becoming rich hoping to live and survive. The Dust Bowl killed much livestock and almost destroyed all of the topsoils in the Great Plains. But, the survivors were viewed differently by the residents of California. They viewed them as intruders competing for land and jobs in California.
