“What is important about immigration is how immigrants arrived and what the individual immigrants do with their lives after arriving. Do they open a restaurant or other business, do they provide for their family, do they integrate into the larger community - in essence, do they become proud Americans? Or do they try their hardest to stay "economic migrants" or "hyphenated-Americans"? Or, at worst, do they attempt to convert America into the countries from which they escaped?” ImmigrationImmigrantsAmericansImmigrant ExperienceBalkanizationHyphenated IdentitiesEconomic Migrants Author:Mike Klepper
