Integration of Immigrant Culture Into American Society

     In today's society America is viewed as a cultural melting pot, filled with various races and ethnicities. Since, the birth of our nation we have incorporated many different cultures into our nation.
     On an average day in New York City you are amongst a great diversity of cultures. We experience this burst of culture everyday through various foods and languages.

     With this variety of culture comes a generalized belief for the people who've brought diversity to America. Many people have set the notion that immigrants provide nothing to our society except "take our jobs away." When in fact immigrants have transformed and revolutionized American society.
     Our nation relies on immigrants in various prospects-the labor force, education, etc. In our school systems we incorporate different aspects of culture through our language courses and the food we eat. Many immigrants have also propelled the work force by creating jobs through their businesses.
     Immigrants should no longer be face with the general stereotype that they are all illegal or unwanted. They play an important role in progressing our society and bringing it together.
