Many scientists believe that the human beings first came to America over the Bering Straits about 20,000 years ago. Many Native American cultures belong to them. Before and after independence, United State relied on the flow of newcomers from abroad. It shared this historic reality with Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina, and among other nations. Immigrants moved to different countries, neighborhood, and cities. Moreover, in 19th century, the American Midwest emerged as one of the most fertile agriculture lands (Diner, H, 2008). The U.S is homeland for many immigrants and the first group of immigrants consisted of Germany, England, France and other northern European countries. They migrated to the United States in search of more opportunities and they could make themselves financially better in the developing country. However, some times new immigrants face a lot of hostility and difficulties from the people of new country. They expect a warm welcome but their expectations are not fulfilled.
Since America is mostly considered as a place for better opportunities, people are going to America for studies or for jobs. In other words, today’s immigrants prefer to come to the United States because it has freedom of speech and religion. Also, many people see America as the land of opportunities, the land that makes peoples’ dreams come true.

The United States is made up of two different types of immigrants: those who are born on U.S. soil and those who travel to settle here. However, despite whether one is born in the United States or not for most their lineage runs back to other countries.

This was a time in which many immigrants where leaving their countries due to different reasons and finding prosperity in the U.S. In the book 97 Orchards: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement (97 Orchard) by Jane Ziegelman she explores and paints the history of five different immigrant families.

The experience of immigration has change over times in America. Immigration has changed over the years in America, but one thing has stayed the same, people come here seeking opportunity. In her poem, Emma Lazarus describes the warm embrace of America, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” This quote shows that people come to America to be free and chase their dreams. The U.S helps immigrants by giving a new life to them and their families.
America always represents opportunity and freedom. Many people come here from different countries to look for works in order to achieve their dream or improve their financial condition. Nowadays, many young people come to America for receiving better education and career. People enjoy the multi-cultural environment and are willing to accept and learn different cultures. However, some social issues caused by cultural and racial difference still can be found in this modern society, which can trace back from the immigration movement in 1880s.

However, after more and more people came to
To capture the true essence of immigration and its responses by the State, one must make a critical effort in analyzing the historical patterns of migration to the New World, including the United States. It begins with colonial America when large populations of people, mainly English, French, German, and Spanish migrated to America with a deliberate intent to exploit the people, land, and resulting in the creation of caste system of subjugation. This first set of immigrants to America would be later considered as Old Immigrants, being differentiated from New Immigrants that would later come in time. “As a result of the conquest of Mexico,
The United States’ foundation is built on immigrants who came to the country over the course of 100’s of years. Nearly the entire population are immigrants from some nook or crevice around the world. A little amount of the native population remains in the country since they were weeded out by disease and conflict. Immigrants have been coming into the country ever since Christopher Columbus first set foot in America. Other may describe these early travelers as Pioneers, but I believe they can be considered immigrants. These people saw the opportunities that the new land offered, so they packed their bags and moved their families overseas. Although these journeys were never easy, living in the newly formed country was not easy at first. First

Slide 2: As we all know; the United States of America was formed mainly by the Immigrants arriving from different parts of the world for various reasons. The initial group of the people primarily came from Britain, Spain and France. After their arrival, the immigrant population exploded due to their population growth and continued arrival of more people. Also, many native Americans were killed and sent outside the US for slavery. This resulted in becoming a minority group for the Native Americans. Another important group of people who were brought to the US as slaves were African Americans. Later, immigrants arrived from other European nations such as Germany, Ireland and Scotland for several other reasons. However, all these minority groups were not easily accepted by the Americans. Their acceptance ranged from hostility to hospitable. Thus, the minority group of people faced significant adversities and challenges during the process of their assimilation in America.
The United States of America, it’s all about immigrant country. It’s been the defining characteristic of America before this country even began, so it’s important for ourselves to remind the rich history of our country. Of where we all came from, to create this one-of-a kind melting pot of people that is the United States in the 21st century. The first successful colony in America was established in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia by English settlers. But, these first Europeans arrived in a land that was already home to other people.

Immigrants from Eastern European countries such as Poland, Lithuania, and Hungary poured into the United States in the mid 19th century. The large amount of immigration from Eastern European countries to the United States between 1919 and 1924 was due not only to the opportunities of work and freedom in America, but also to the hardships experienced in their home countries.

From its earliest days, America has been a nation of immigrants, starting with its original inhabitants, who crossed the land bridge connecting Asia and North America thousands of years ago. By the 1500s, the first Europeans, led by the Spanish and French, had begun establishing settlements in what would become the United States.

Some of America’s first settlers came in search of freedom to practice their faith. In 1620, a group of roughly 100 people later known as the Pilgrims fled
