Immigration to the U.S.

Research an immigrant group that you are interested in learning about. 

First:  Identify the group and what period of time you are focusing on.

Address the following questions:

 

1.Reasons that they left their country of origin (“PUSH” factors)

2. Describe their culture shock (what clashed with dominant U.S. culture--values, religion, language, skill-set, climate)

3.How they were treated by the dominant U.S. culture—be specific (how were/are they labeled? What rights did they have or not have? How were they treated as a group?)

4. What are/were they “used” for in the U.S. economy? (“PULL” factors)

5.How has this group assimilated into Dominant U.S. culture? Or put another way: How accepted has this group become in U.S. mainstream culture? How much power, money, and access do they have as compared with the ‘dominant’ group?
