    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. Maintaining value systems compatible with those of the white, affluent Christian so-called mainstream, post-1965 immigrants from certain racial and ethnic backgrounds, such as East Asian and African professionals, have experienced upward socioeconomic mobility due to their assimilable work ethics. However, from 1880-1920,…

Although my father did not enter the country in a way that is considered “legal” he felt he needed to in order to attempt to achieve a better life.

    Introduction The Latino/a migration to the United States that occurred over the course of the last century was a phenomena mired in unfounded speculation because many “experts” struggled to properly explain the reasons for such massive amounts of Latino/a immigration. However, there are three central theories to explain the Latino/a migration to the United States.

Both the structural theory and transnational theory offer sturdy analysis of explaining the Latino/a migration to the United States.…
