Jobs are hard to find since many jobs require high school and college diplomas which many immigrants do not have. My grandparents‚ my uncles and my mom did not know any English‚ so getting a job was difficult. Who would want to hire non-English speaking immigrants? They had very few options.

assimilated to some of the German culture and looked at Germans as model immigrants. The Germans are credited for bringing over pianos‚ as well as their ability to brew good beer‚ which only furthered the positive stereotype towards them. During the World Wars the English influenced America to become involved in the war against Germany. Anti-German sentiment arose rapidly and caused the Germans to no longer be the “model immigrant” in the eyes of the Americans. In the movie Sweet Land the feeling towards

But this innocuous sentence can be problematic. It can be difficult to gage the problems of Canadian perception of immigration when one’s family arrived in the country several generations ago and now identify as a native Canadian. The word “quota” is problematic in describing immigration for its inferred meaning

Irish immigrants were a really really big part of the culture change. The largest wave of immigrants came from Ireland because of the famine in their land. Everyone ate potatoes over there‚ so when the crop got a fungus and they died‚ it was a huge problem for the Irish. A whole lot of people ended up dying from the lack of food. A lot of the Irish that came to America couldn’t do anything. They weren’t talented and they had no skills and no money. Mostly they lived up north in cities. They faced
