However, I don’t believe immigrants should come to this country illegally, but I do believe there is room for all people no matter their identity and ethnicity, creed, or color as defined by the U.S. Constitution. This current administration has turned the lives of many immigrants’ upside down.

Throughout both the 1880-1920 and 1965-present immigration waves to New York City, new immigrant arrivals have assimilated as New Yorkers in common and divergent histories of ascribed stereotypes and achieved identities. Many allegedly native New Yorkers, usually people of Northern European ancestry whose local roots have spanned several generations, have labeled newcomers from elsewhere with a range of mythically positive and negative stereotypes, both privileging and disadvantaging certain immigrant groups.

However, from 1880-1920,…
