Americas First Immigrants by Evan Hadingham rejects the widely known idea that the hemispheres first people came from Siberia across a land bridge. Throughout the article he provides evidence that supports his new thesis of the hemispheres first people coming from a sea route from Asia or possibly even Europe. The two biggest questions that arise from his theory is who are these people? And where did they come from?…
Immigrants Horrible Lives Have you ever wondered if you are related to one of the immigrants in the 1900’s? The immigrants had a dreadful life at this time. Immigrants were brave because they crossed the ocean and went through the checkpoint at Ellis Island. To start the immigrants take an awful voyage across the ocean.

It is not a surprise that immigrants were discriminated for their different cultures. But, immigrants were mostly discriminated due to their poor class. During their time in America most immigrants were not taken seriously. This is shown when Jurguis was on trial for beating Connor…
In the middle of the 19th century, after the Reconstruction, rapid industrialization paved way to a huge increase of immigrants searching for job opportunities and freedom in the United States. From 1880-1925 these immigrants kept coming into the United States causing issues between them and the Americans, and with the government. Americans felt threatened and resented these New Immigrants for being different in culture and physical aspects, and for "stealing" their job opportunities, which in the end caused tensions between both groups. This increase of immigrants and increase in women and jobs showed for women starting to work.…
Imagine moving from your home country to the United States, essentially starting over, where you have to make a living and adjust to the new people and culture. There are multiple struggles that immigrants have to overcome when coming to America. Immigrants had to get jobs to support their family and stay in America. They had to adjust to society and try to fit in with everyone. Also, making the decision whether to adjust to American ways or stay close to the life they maintained in their old country was tough. Multiple passages from O Pioneers and “Old Rogaum and His Theresa” show the hardships of immigrants in the 1800’s.…
As a recent immigrant myself I see a great value in the programs like cultural orientation for the new members of our community. Ascentria provides services for people of various cultural and social backgrounds. Lack of knowledge about the peculiarities of American culture, social norms as well as the ways this society functions can not only put the newcomers in uncomfortable situations, but also compromise their safety and security. I believe it is critical to provide the people who are to make this country their new home with all the necessary information, which would help their adaptation and integration into the American society.…
The Gilded Age was a time of social change and economic growth was rapid where millions of immigrants flooded the United States looking for work, especially skilled workers. The Gilded Age saw rapid industrialization, urbanization, the construction of great transcontinental railroads, innovations in science and technology, and the rise of big business. The large expansion of industries led to higher pay among factory workers and laborers but it was also a time of poverty and inequality among the millions of immigrants that came to the states looking for a better future. Most immigrants who worked in warehouses and factories were working in poor conditions and long hours. With the mistreatment of the working conditions progressive reform came…

ur country is currently facing a time of uncertainty and forced to make decisions about some very controversial issues. Among these issues is the question of immigrants and their role in the United States. As congressmen, the people of your state voted for you to represent their voices in the national legislature. However, I encourage you to remember all the people who are underrepresented in our government and consider their opinions when forming policies for the United States. It is important to consider the role immigrants had in the formation of our country. The very basis our country was formed on the notion of the ‘American Dream’ where anyone can achieve anything. However, the currently policies being discussed deter the people who have…
Growing up with two parents going through med school it was alway harsh. My parents could barely afford to pay rent and groceries. Being first generation immigrants, my parents were the poorest of the poor and only had the relief of their parents and siblings a like, there was no financial backing at all for us except student loans. It went on for this until my dad went to residency in Long Island, New York that we could finally live a life that was not paycheck to paycheck. Now after all my dad’s training being finished, we could finally live the…

Although visiting a new place can be frightening, imagine having to move to a completely different country in hopes of starting a better life. This is what many immigrants do with their families without realizing how greatly it will impact them. They are also unaware of how much they will struggle in a new culture that they, for the most part, know nothing about; making it difficult for them to find resources that are willing to help them, especially right now with the current political climate. Countless innocent people are being impacted by the current immigration laws: fortunately, organizations such as Northwest Seasonal Workers and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are attempting to make a difference…
The United States is considered “the land of opportunity” for everyone. America welcomes the people that other countries don’t want, or at least we used to. The Statue of Liberty even says “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”-The New Colossus. America once expected immigrants to come in and rise up the ranks, become wealthy and to live the “American Dream”. Immigrants thought this too, and that’s why they took many, many great risks to get here. But, now, Donald Trump thinks immigrants are taking away our jobs and polluting our ‘Merican blood. He is putting a ban on any immigration, especially from Mexico…
