American dream. Since the last quarter of the twentieth century, America became a beacon for people from all over the world, seeking work, safety, security freedom, the right to freely practice and preserve their own customs and beliefs.The arrival of the huge numbers of immigrants to the United States made it an universal nation because these immigrants traveled from all parts of the world, bringing with them different languages, customs, and traditions. In addition, the arrival of that waves of immigrants participated greatly in the development American economy. Most of them came to America without their family, and they have to face all the difficulties alone, despite all this, they work very hard doing jobs that not a lot of people do and they pay taxes, by doing these things they contribute to the economy.
Today the things are changed, and immigration became a blamed issue. The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks changed the directions and the views toward immigrants. Many American who were themselves immigrants in the origin, look at new immigrants as devils. They look at them as assassins who came to plot against America and betray their ideals. Unfortunately, Muslim immigrants became at the top-ten of most detested among immigrants, for one reason that the assassins who are involved in the terrorist attacks against America were Muslims. let me say that, they really gave bad image about Muslim people.
Once again, many people who were themselves immigrants feel that, they should close the door against new immigrants. May be their feeling came as a reaction of that, immigration is becoming out of control, so that we have to act seriously toward this issue. May be they are right. The fingers of accusation is directed toward immigration and the huge number of immigrants as a warning to American environment aspects. But the question that pose itself is that. Is immigration really out of control? I don't think so. American government is able to manage and regulate immigration issue by restricting control on borders and diminishing the number of immigrants, but it still treat it with less serious especially about what it concern illegal immigration. American immigration policy today is changed than ever before. For instance, today's American immigration policy is based on attracting immigrant with skills. For example, all the new immigrants who came to America by lottery in 2010 must have as least high school diploma to be admitted. In addition, since the conditions of immigrating to America is based on attracting skills the numbers of immigrants is diminished as a result.
Finally, however, American Dream is no more existed, America is remain a country of immigrants, and it will stay a beacon of people from all arround the world. I'm optimistic, With the new immigration policies the future of the country of immigrant will be good.
I can be agree with you. Sometimes I believe that the Goverment of this country let immigrants to come because it favors or helps the economy of the U.S. Many corporations could lose a lot of money if the immigrants are taken away and it's true when you say that many people don't want to do some jobs that immigrants do.
