<br/><br/> "From colonial times to the present day, immigrants have shaped and invigorated the United States--and, at times, been the focus of divisions and conflict. Until recent decades, the vast majority of those who chose to make the journey to the United States were of European origin. Most of today's [2005] immigrants come from Latin America and Asia." (VOANEWS.COM) This article discusses the similarities between the immigrants of today and those of previous generations, noting that "wherever people come from, the most common reasons for seeking a new life in the United States remain the same." Immigrants "are coming for economic reasons and economic opportunities, or they are coming to escape oppressive political regimes."
