Who were the new immigrants?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
The end of World War II combined with new immigration legislation led to an influx of immigrants after 1965.
In the 1980s, 7.3 million people entered the country legally, along with a similar number without documentation.
Ten percent of the newcomers were Europeans. Fifty percent came from Latin America and the Caribbean. Forty percent came from Asia.
The new immigrants came for the same reasons their predecessors had.
Most came with few resources and took what work they could find.
These immigrants willingly endured profound hardship in order to build better lives for their families.
The non-European origins of the latest immigrants troubled some white citizens.
