Migrations to the US began in 1815, about 30 millions of Europeans ( irish, jews, Italians,..)
came to the US during this period. For them this country was seen as the land of freedom.
Freedom from oppression, to worship from want, fear, to create. It’s during this period that the
American dream was born. That’s what the immigrants were looking for, and are still looking for
by coming to the land of Uncle Sam, even if from 1960, we can observe a change of origin of
the people going to the us.
America is the first destination of migration ‘cause people have the feeling like anything can be
achieve in the country. Moreover, America has one of the best education systems therefore
students from all over the world com to study there. We can also add, that the American
government is aware that the country is that powerful mostly thanks to the immigrants. And it
offers some possibilities that are unreachable in their homeland.
For instance Fang XI Yu came to the Us because she wanted to be a professional dancer, but
that wasn’t possible in Taiwan. So she came to the US and succeeds in having a professional
career. Nevertheless she is nostalgic about her past. That’s a difficulty immigrants can be
confronted to, the lack of our relatives and our home country. On the other hand, expect to
have all their dreams come true the second they set foot in the country but they unfortunately
see their hopes crumbling, they can’t find jobs, they are rejected by the some Americans…
For some of the immigrants their migration can’t be accomplished as long as they don’t have
the American citizen. The easiest way to became American is to have relatives that are citizens
of the country or to be educated or rich.The people that usually succeed in being American
citizen are the Asian. It’s the ethnic that has the highest level of migration since the beginning
of the 21 st
century. Before it was the Hispanics, but they have a lack of education UNLIKE THE
ASIANS THAT HAVE the highest level of education and are therefore the most prosperous
ethnic group. We can say that this group achieves its American dream.
A s a conclusion, we can say that the USA was, is and will always be the first destination of
immigrants. From a decade to an other the face of Uncle's Sam's country changes: from white
Europeans, to Asians by way of Latinos. The face of Today's America doesn't look nothing
tomorrow ’ s which is a mix of all the culture. Immigration is shaping the US.
Despite that yesterday’s immigrants and today‘s have the same aspirations: succeeding in integrating the US, being an American citizen and most of all live their own American dream!! Some ethnics . »
