The "Dreaming Land"(United States of America)

We are all foreign-born or the descendants of foreign-born,and if distinctions are to be made between us, they should rightly be on some other ground than ingenuousness. The early colonists came over with motives no less colonial than the later. They did not come to be assimilated in an American melting pot. They did not come to adopt the culture of the American Indian. They had not the smallest intention of 'giving themselves without reservation' to the new country. They came to get freedom to live as they wanted to. They came to escape from the stifling air and chaos of the old world; they came to make their fortune in a new land. They invented no new social framework. Rather they brought over bodily the old ways to which they had been accustomed. Tightly concentrated on a hostile frontier, they were conservative beyond belief....(Trans-national America by Randolph S. Bourne).

• A new generation is raising, and I am part of it.As an immigrant living in the "Dreaming Land"(United States of America), I believe that American's society had changed it's perception over immigrants ,however, there is a long way to run to achieve equality.Many are the challenges that an immigrant has to face.Such challenges may lead to several distinctions in society.Based on what I heard and read most Americans thought that immigrants only come to this country to steal their resources, to commit wrongful acts and to serve them,but this perception had changed as immigrants get involve in every single aspect of society development. Truly, we come here to get better opportunities, to pursue a better future for us and our family.Although this may be true ,there is a bunch of immigrants out there committing crimes as well as immoral acts. United States of America whether we agree or disagree is the land where dreams come true.On the other end the new era that the world is living on ,does not allow distinctions among human being,because of it's rapid development. 

Comments by the author: I choose this fragment of the reading because i believe its important to emphasize the role of immigrants in our society.Sooner or later,before or after we all are immigrants.
