immigration now (including illegal) vs. immigration in late 1800 early 1900

<p>what are some similarities and differences between tehh two?</p>

<p>Is this for a school essay?</p>

<p>I think so :)</p>

<p>I don’t think there are many differences other than the transportation they used. right?</p>

<p>The race of the people coming through. Instead of a Chinese/Irish immigrant problem, its now hispanic. Also this was at the boom of America’s industrial revolution…tons of *<strong><em>ty jobs were being handed out to these people, and they didnt care, they took it. Now you still have *</em></strong>ty jobs, not as bad as the inustrial revolution but you know what i mean, and immigrants dont always take them. Idk, thats all I can remember from APUSH, haha</p>

<p>There are still a lot of people coming over from Asia now, though. </p>

<p>Similarities: they’re basically all coming for the same reasons. To earn more money, get away from wars, live in a more accepting country (ha!), etc.</p>

<p>Differences: Race, method of transportation</p>

<p>that’s it…this is going to be a prety short school essay.</p>

<p>I think conservatives would say that the main difference is a lack of assimilation today, especially the deterioration of English as the national language. There may be a difference in how the immigrants were exploited as well.</p>

<p>Do you think they’re exploited more or less, now?</p>

<p>who? the imigrants?</p>

<p>No, the conservatives. :slight_smile: Yes, the immigrants.</p>

<p>I think the method of exploitation is different. Today, it’s more under the table than it previously was before all the labor laws.</p>

<p>where is the OP?</p>
