Another reason was America offered opportunities for immigrants and people to pursue their dreams and also another reason was America offered many different types of jobs.

    The American Dream A Myth of Meritocracy It is a universal thought that America is something of a promise land. People from around the world know of the proclamations of the great opportunity you can receive in America. However, many immigrants instead find deeply rooted systemic racism and oppression. From the 1580s, when the first Asian Immigrants came to North America, to present day 2015, Asian Immigrants have received unfair treatment caused by the combination of both political interference and racial prejudices. And through those eras, the developments over time have not reflected to the reality of Asian Immigrant situations.…

All of us have an equal chance to share in that dream.” (Watts 1) Historian, James Truslow Adams, has been credited as the creator of the idea known as the American Dream. This American Dream has since then further evolved into the idea that every United States citizen should have an equal opportunity to succeed and prosper through hard work and drive.
