Immigrants In San Francisco
Since we are already talked about housing in San Francisco, I came up with another reason why people become homeless in San Francisco. As I said, San Francisco is a popular immigrant city. Also they bring in their culture, languages and custom, which is a good thing. The immigrant makes San Francisco more colorful, so a job opportunities are no longer only for native English speaker. The people who speak more than one language have a bigger advantage. An example like tourism. People from different country come to visit San Francisco need different languages support, because of that many native people just lost their jobs

    Towards the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, Chicago was one of the most desirable cities for immigration. It had railway access and ports and its slaughterhouse and industrial business provided for unskilled workers. Most immigration to Chicago started in or near the 1830s to 1850s. In the 1840s, large amounts of Irish immigrants came to Chicago because of the Great Potato Famine in Ireland. Large numbers of Germans, Irish, Swedes, Norwegians, Canadians, Czechs, Poles, Greeks, and Italians clustered there in the 19th and early 20th centuries, nearing the end of the First World War.…

    There are many causes for why people are homeless. These include: loss of a job, cannot pay their bills, or their parents abandoned them. If people do not realize this and keep shaming these people, then that is their fault because these people have great insights and stories to share that they would have missed out on. I will end with a quote from a homeless person from one of my sources to show some sympathy for these people and to show that they really want to make a better life for…

    An outburst in growth of America's big city population, places of 100,000 people or more jumped from about 6 million to 14 million between 1880 and 1900, cities had become a world of newcomers (551). America evolved into a land of factories, corporate enterprise, and industrial worker and, the surge in immigration supplied their workers. In the latter half of the 19th century, continued industrialization and urbanization sparked an increasing demand for a larger and cheaper labor force. The country's transformation from a rural agricultural society into an urban industrial nation attracted immigrants worldwide. As free land and free labor disappeared and as capitalists dominated the economy, dramatic social, political, and economic tensions were created. Religion, labor, and race relations were questioned; populist and progressive thoughts were developed; social Darwinism and nativism movements were launched.…

Roughly ⅓ of the immigrants came over from Ireland and settled on the east coast of the US. The Irish were driven out of Ireland by the great famine of the 1840’s. Around 5 million Germans also came over during that time. There were tons of boats full of immigrants and most of them came through Ellis Island which is located in New York.

    In order to understand the immigrant neighborhoods, one will first have to look at what was happening in the nation, beginning in the early 1900’s to the early 1950’s. Arguably, the events leading up to and after the Great Depression has what reshaped the future of the immigrant story.

The idea of Americanization, stemming from young radicals, was to encompass and provide a new way of life for certain immigrants. These neighborhoods that were then formed by certain immigrant groups encompassed their ideas and identify.

    Homelessness has been an issue that has been of concern in the United States since the beginning of industrialization, which brought forth hundreds upon thousands of people migrating from European countries in the early through the late 1800s. Most of them were families escaping political and religious oppressions from their native land while many others sought to attain financial prosperity as well.
