The most popular fears and prejudices have been proven wrong time and time again throughout history. Just as when America feared that German immigrants would sweep away British culture, the current wave of immigration receives the same stance from critics. It was once thought that 19th-century immigrants could not assimilate into society, but this turned out to be false. The accumulation of these foreign groups in society allows us to have great influence on other parts of the world through our enriched and diverse culture and the addition of our production capacity. Therefore, a legitimate path is to highly value the history of other ethnicities instead of trying to obscure it. The passage of immigration legislation has been rather negligent and would be the start of successful reform. Our perception of immigration is not good in most of the country. Many people are unaware of what goods and how far immigration has brought this country. Furthermore, the good results of immigration go unnoticed while the bad ones stand out greatly. If we were more conducive to the possible assimilations of different cultures into our own, the reform process would be better. Using immigration to build our success would not be new. “America is a nation of nations, made up of people of all countries, races and faiths. Our diversity is not a source of weakness, it is a source of strength, it is a source of our success” - Former Secretary of State, Colin
