The Immigrant Spirit: How Immigrants Help Build America From The Ground Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539034094)

The immigrant story of America is a story of challenges, opportunities, and contributions. For over two centuries, the United States of America has been a magnet for immigrants from all walks of life. The "tired and tempest-tossed" have all found refuge here. Among those driven to America by the winds of circumstances in the early twentieth century is the famous scientist Albert Einstein. Later future entrepreneurs like Bert Mitchell, Sergey Brin, and Gloria Estefan were among those seeking social and economic freedom in America. (Brin and Estefan came to America as children with their parents). These immigrants had no idea of the contribution they would make to America. With a spirit of determination, courage, and a willingness to work hard, they've contributed more than they could have ever imagined. Undoubtedly, the massive flow of immigrants in the nineteenth century was crucial in helping to build America from the ground up. It would be a mistake, however, to view Immigrant's contribution only in the light of a distance past. Today's immigrants, like those of past era, are vigorously contributing to the social, spiritual, and economic landscape of America. Each succeeding generation of immigrant has worked to lift America higher, and their presence reminds us daily that we are indeed a nation of immigrants. This fascinating look at America's immigrant story opens wide the door to explore the many contributions that immigrants past, and present, have made, and are making to this great land. Since the United States of America is no longer in its "infancy" period, this critical question is often asked by some Americans: Does America still need new immigrants? Lurine M. Allotey explores this question and came up with some fascinating answers.
