How has immigration changed the American society?

Immigration to America has changed dramatically; before about 1950, people came to America to escape persecution, or to seek an opportunity to make a better life for themselves. Immigrants wanted to leave their old nationalities, languages and conflicts behind, and to start fresh in the wild frontier. Most immigrants wanted to become Americans and integrate into the American culture and philosophy, and stop being Irish, Italians, Polish, or Japanese. Since then, the pattern has been slowly changing. More recent immigrants are less willing to learn English, and prefer to retain their original languages and traditions. To an increasingly greater extent, recent immigrants come not for the opportunity to make a good life, but for the good life itself. Instead of integrating into American culture, they are rebuilding their old national societies as cultural enclaves within the United States. This has contributed to the increasing factionalist strains in American politics.


Should American legislators incorporate the concept of transculturalization into immigration policy?

Yes, American legislators should incorporate the concept of transculturalization into immigration policy. Transculturalization recognizes that immigrants bring their own cultural heritage and traditions, which can enrich and diversify society. By embracing transculturalization, policymakers can promote cultural understanding and integration, allowing immigrants to preserve their identity while also fostering a sense of belonging and unity among all members of society.
