There are a lot of immigrants coming to America. A lot of Americans are wondering who these Immigrants are and if they are good or bad for America. These immigrants are coming from countries like Germany, Ireland, China, England, Norway, and Sweden. There values will not hurt America, it will only add to the amount of cultures in the country. These immigrants are also helping the economy. Irish coal miners, Swedish farmers, Chinese railroad workers, Norwegian lodgers, and German meat packers play an important role in converting the resources in the West into fuel to help run machines. So overall immigrants are a very good thing.

Who are nativists and what is their response to immigration? BY: LIAM BECHER In today's America there are lots of immigrants from foreign countries like England and Ireland and many of them are bringing cultural differences to a country in need of diversity. There are many Americans who strongly dislike these new immigrants and they are called Natives. Natives are people who want to keep the American spirit clean from “foreign aliens�, and they also fear that jobs will be stolen from the American people. Natives also say that immigrants will bring crime and diseases. I believe the Nativist opinions are completely false and are blatantly disrespectful.

What is the purpose of this new quota law, and do you think it’s good or bad for us? - By: Mihad Osman There is a new quota law.Many of us favor it, but is it honestly the best thing for us? The emergency quota law was first introduced in 1921, but improved upon in 1924 and now in 1929, getting more strict .This law was made to reduce the amount of immigrants that are coming to the U.S because we seem to favor the northern/ western European immigrants. The reduction of the immigrants has resulted in completely cutting off the asians and the african americans. The government claims to have been pressured into making this law more strict by the public and generally because of the events that followed provoking many nativist. Many of us are wondering if the new quota law is good or if it will badly affect us. I believe it would affect us badly because we are in need for coal miners, laborers, factory workers etc.
