As Hispanics are about 31 % of the population and is expected to grow. The article then goes explaining how not all latinos are immigrants.

    19th Century Immigrants

    At the end of the nineteenth century, the population, especially in cities, began to surge. Technology began to advance, helping cities handle the increasing population. (pg. 701) Along with the population, cities grew “as horse-drawn streetcars and commuter railways let people live farther away from their downtown workplaces.” (pg. 701) America greatly prospered, resulting in many immigrants being attracted to it. Many newcomers from Europe arrived in America, causing the number of immigrants to raise “from just under 3 million annually in the 1870s… [to] 9 million annually in the first decade of the twentieth century.” (pg. 704) This new surge of immigrants was not well received by “nativists,’ racists who believed that Anglo-Saxon Americans…

    New Immigrants

    Finally, the main difference and major contribution to Native-born fears was the willpower of the “New Immigrants” to preserve their culture regardless of the costs. Although the “Old Immigrants” also tried to keep their culture alive, they did this in a very minimalistic way in comparison to the restaurants, social clubs, and more that the “New Immigrants” created in an attempt to preserve their culture. This also was faced with opposition especially by antiforeign organizations such as the “American Protective Association” or APA who made every effort to prevent Roman Catholic from taking office and even suppressed the faith by depicting their nuns in “lustful fantasies.” Besides degrading the culture of the new individuals who had come to America, the Native-born also developed organized labor which emphasized the language barrier of the “New Immigrants” as a means to protect American workers and their jobs from the “inferior.” Organized Labor was not the only tactic to…

    Mexican Immigrants

    Although many believe that Mexican immigrants are only negative impacts on America, but many of Mexico's finest people come to the U.S: taking Mexico's next generation of renown lawyers, doctors, and scientists. It piques many immigrants interest to know that the United States has a more advanced educational system than Mexico. America shapes realistic dreams for those whom want to be successful lawyers, doctors, or world renowned scientist. The process may not be easy, but for many it is worth the risk. Without realizing, many leave behind towns and cities with shortages of jobs requiring a higher education. Primarily due to economic circumstances it is more likely one will just work at a ranch or in a store, and not many are able to obtain…

    Illegal Immigrants

    Since the founding of the United States of America over 55 million immigrants have settled here. So you could say we are a country of immigrants. So why is immigration such an issue? Should immigrants be granted citizenship and by law be required to pay for taxes after five year of residency in the United States? Some may say that this is America, “home of the free” but nothing is free here or is it and for whom? If immigrants where forced to nationalize and given a past tax waver and through their taxes much needed revenue would reduce our deficit, help fund our schools, stabilize decaying medical and wealth fair systems and reduce the financial bleed out of our country to other countries specifically Mexico. To understand this better we have to look at the history of immigration.…

    Mexican Americans

    Mexicans immigrated to the United States back in the 1800's (Stanford, 2006). During 1848 the United States took over a part of Mexico which is now the Southwest (Stanford, 2006). Mexicans living in these areas were Mexican citizens before the acquisition. The United States even went into agreements with Mexico to have Mexicans work in the United States. Mexicans were treated with cruelty, while working the agriculture fields for years. The United States made several agreements with Mexico to have the Mexicans come work in the United States while American soldiers were fighting in the world wars. The labor shortage that the United States went through was reason enough to have Mexicans migrate to the United States as laborers. The United States found there was a need to have Mexicans come fill in for the labor shortage but they were no longer needed during the depression of the United States. Not only Mexicans were sent back to Mexico even the Mexican Americans were sent back because they were no longer needed (Stanford, 2006). This ethnic group has suffered from prejudice and from several discriminations such as dual labor market, redlining, affirmative action and reverse discrimination.…

    Black Americans

    Firstly black Americans faced problems in the south because of lynching and the Jim Crow Laws. Lynching meant that racist white Americans would put the law into their own hands and punish black people whenever they please. They would hang the victim from a tree. In 1897 123 black people were lynched in the south, 84 in 1903 and 61 in 1921. The police would turn a blind eye and made no effort to stop lynching from happening. Even though slavery ended in 1865 black people faced the threat of violence, intimidation and racial discrimination on almost a daily bases. The Jim Crow Laws were created to keep whites and coloured people away from each other. The Jim Crow Laws covered all the aspects of life. Black Americans were stopped from using the same restaurants, hotels, libries, taxis, and even cemeteries. If black people wanted to vote the Jim Crow Law made them have to pass a difficult literacy test and they would have to pay high taxes. Nearly 2million black Americans moved from the southern states to the north in hope of a better life. This was called the Great Migration They thought they would be able to escape the Jim Crow Laws and racism as a whole, they wanted to go to the north for a better chance at jobs and education but little did they know.…
