Comparing Immigration across Time

Introduction

America is a country of immigrants. This has been repeated ad nauseam. But it is also true that it is a country where immigrants have had to battle for their incorporation into society and be "one more" in the nation of nations. I would point out that the United States are constantly stopping being to be something new. As usual, conservation is resistant to change, but change is inevitable. The country that created the founding fathers, with Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, ceased to be after the Civil War. Then, the wave of immigration from Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century's, generated a new and vibrant world.

Whatever the eventual outcome, the issue of immigrants will never be the same and immigrants either.

Discussion

Some commentators have questioned whether the immigrant protests are the beginning of a new civil rights movement, similar to that African Americans brought forward in the 1960's. In my opinion, this movement has started, in this case the civil rights of immigrants. Its similarities with the movement of the 60 are yet few. It is a reaction against discrimination to a sector of society that runs most of the work means that the rest of the inhabitants do not want or are willing to perform. His differences with the movement led by Martin Luther King, are many, yet, before continuing I must point out that the comparison is only useful for studying the phenomenon, to try to predict the scope and understand him.
