“The women wept over us, reminding us eloquently of the perils of the sea, of the bewilderment of a foreign land, of the torments of homesickness that awaited us” (Antin par. 10), things such as this made families question their decision to come America.

They bring with them the essence of their initial homeland such as customs, traditions and beliefs that inadvertently change the dynamics of culture within the United States. As a result the United States is an extremely culturally diverse nation. The continual changes or accretions that Americans encounter have always been a controversial topic depending on the experiences of individuals and communities that have immigrant populations. This essay will critically explore

Public views toward undocumented immigration is not much positive because we are not welcoming their presence in our society. here, I would like to examines the receptions of undocumented immigrants in the US society. when we talk about illegal immigrants, people have first thoughts that they would be Hispanic, criminal, and uneducated people. However, studies and data show, there are other groups of people, who are living in the US without proper documentation. Findings suggest that many undocumented immigrants have been discriminated in the work place and public forums, such as school, restaurants, and streets by behavior, verbal abuse, lower pay, and labeling theory.

A recent study debunks the stereotype that the influx of immigrants is harmful to our country and that immigrants are bringing problems to the United States.

Accordingly, back in high school, his English was limited to what he uses everyday. The first time we did our presentation, we just carried out what we have prepared, and it seemed good. But as time passed and I thought about it again, I knew that I had been wrong.

Prolonging processes have occurred with the rules of allowing immigrants to enter in the U.S. There are so many tackles behind overcoming the balance of first-generation immigrants. They’ve learned to adapt to the American culture and be around individuals that they can relate to. Many of them have formed families shortly after their arrival to the U.S. There is now a large and populated sum of second-generation immigrants in the U.S. Most of them are not adapted to their family cultural background. Millions of second-generation immigrants have suffered the stereotypes and middle ramifications of being part of the family of the first generation immigrants.

For my investigative assignment on the conceptions of minority and immigration, I have interviewed three people whom I interviewed separately for better and credible results. They are all Asian Americans and two of them are American born and one of them is a foreign born but has a permanent resident status. When I asked them what they think when they hear the word “minority,” all three of my interviewees answered as groups of people who are not white.

B rather answered with more
