Synthèse space and exchanges

...

We just have seen that the immigrants were accepted in the past but are they still accepted in the past, but are they still accepted today ?

ACCEPTED NOWADAY

Time have changed, immigration too

Not easy as before to immigrate in the USA (green card, marry to american citizen, being wealthy, be a brain, be an asylum seeker)

- « New colossus » by Emma Lazarus

Immigrants who want to come in the USA aren’t accepted easily anymore

Some words have been crossed and replaced with others

For exemple, now, immigrats are likely to stay in the underclass / to do menial jobs

Instead of holding a lamp, the statue of liberty has a searchlight to chase the immigrants

Authorities don’t want them to cross the border. So StaOfLib represents these authorities

- « Bread and Roses »

Immigrants are likely to stay in the underclass

Scene take place in USA, in L.A

Workers are demonstrating : thez want more right / to be respected

hispanics immigrants ( some undocumented)

Thez are threatened with deportation

Thez want bread = money, better salaries

roses = respect

- « The Mexican dream »

Some immigrants return in their country -> more opportunity

English speakers are better paid in Mexico than in the USA

Mexican who lives in USA take this advantage

So immigrants aren’t integrated anymore in the USA

CONCLUSION

To conclude,

We saw when and where the immigrants came to the USA

that they were integrated in the past and that is more difficult tooday

So that some of them return in their origin country

But the USA are mking an effort to integrate the minorities, for exemple, Gerber a baby food brand, has change her commercials because it targets all parents who need to identify with people shows on the advert.

Before, the advert only showed white baby, now they show babies from all the minorities.

This, shows the population is changing and minorities are overtaking the white.
