Immigration influenced what America is today by brining many different languages, cultures, and life styles to our country. During the Industrial Revolution the Immigrants would come to work in the factories where there was many language barriers and different ways of doing things. Althought these problems occured, each individual picked up on the different things and inhirated the many different ways of living. At ten o'clock the honor guard came out and said "It is customary for everyone to stand when the colors are presented." He is saying that it is now necessary that the immigrants acknowledge the American flag as the pride and joy of their lives. I think that this quote is very important to the new Americans because it is making them realize that they are now apart of a new country and way of life and have new rituals.

America is what it is today because of the immigrants that came in the nineteenth century. Many for different reasons, some because of the religious standards and rules elsewhere and some because of the economy where they were differed from the American economy.The people here today you may not know are immigrants and you dont know why they came, but each had a legitement reason and were seeking more than what their country could supply. There are many stories out there about immigration and citizens coming over to America, but none are as unique as the one told about men and women who came over seeking a new way of life and patriotism. I feel that the whole "Immigration Era" made America what it is today. If Immigrants hadn't sailed the seas many years ago we would not have the variety of cultures,languages, and beliefes that we do today.

The way that we treated the immigrants in the eighteenth and nineteenth century is how other countries look at us today. Its how they assume we treat everyone and it reflects on our "character". I think that this is very true. Once you do a certain thing and others notice it, oppinions start to form and you're true character shines. The way immigrants lived in the Industrial Era was far worse than it should have been. The immigrants live on invested grounds with many different diseases, not by choice though. They were forced to do so. All of this led to many issues such as "crime, prostitution, and poverty." I don't get why just because they are from a different area of the world they get treated so poorly. I bet the Americans didn't have to stay on invested grounds like the immigrants did. Immigration has had its pros and cons, but in some ways it has caused more problems then some expected. Because Immigrants have come from different parts of the world and each part have their own language or culture many times this causes conflict in the Americas after they have arrived. Also, immigrants can not go through the American social life as thoroughly or easily because it is so new to them. I think that this message is good, but if this is all that outsiders saw they would come to think poorly about immigration. I think that immigration in some ways is a good thing but I also understand and agree with some of the hardships it has brought to our country.

The Immigrants woul have had to work harder at the things others don't want to do. But in the end they are what America will benefit from it. Their children will receive a great education and they will be apart of Americas future. I really like this quote and find it true that the immigrants have helped shape what America is today. And the immigrants making sacrifices and working harder still stands true. Many Americans will hire others to work to do the "dirty work". Many of the immigrants had come from a very different life style but came into America to help farm. They did not know the new life they were fixing to encounter but were willing to find out and learn. I think that the colonist coming over to America was a great deal. Especially for the farmers. Now they had more help which meant they could grow more crops faster and more efficiently. After the Civil War many of the people migrating were the ones from Europe. They conveniently arrived in time to help and fill the needs of the growing economy. This was a good thing for America and the immigrants because, after a tough fought war the Immigrants were able to do something resourceful and help America build themselves back up.

For many Immigrants their children are the reason they are still going. They wake up each day and work till sun down just to see their children happy and filled with hope. I think that this is another thing that still stands true today in a happy and loving family.. The parents will do anything to protect and make their kids smile.

All and all America would not be the country it is today without the Immigrants who sailed the seas over one-hundred years ago. They worked hard and fought for their freedom and rights they diserved until the end. The Immigration Era brought over those who weren't recieving the treatment and care they wanted to have. It also brought over the culture, languages, and beliefes that many still practiced today. The Immigrants had big hearts and just wanted the best for themselves and their familes. America gave just that to many.
