America is of course not just a nation of immigrants but THE nation of immigrants.In the past we've had Irish,Italian,Jewish,German,Chinese,Southeast Asian,Central American,Mexican,Poles,Scots,different Slavic peoples,Cubans,etc.-many of whom where met with resistance and descrimination.Somehow they've manage to ride out the bad roads and now they are America.Is the current wave of Latin American arrivals alarm us more than those in the past?Is is it because of them being illegal or because of the sheer number of them?Will there ever come a time when they are America just as the immigrants of before?
