Location-location-location firstly.
That's why we are the "Crossroads of the world"
Which brings us to immigration...by people suffering from tyrannical rule all over the globe. We captured these immigrants minds, souls and vast reservoirs of talent before their offspring's went off on something called "Manifest Destiny".
Then there was something called opportunity. To live life as you saw fit and if you worked hard at could make your dreams come true...the port of New York became the greatest and most ethnically commercial sound port in the world, both for merchants and consumers. We had and still have anything and everything any ethnic group needs to have in order to feel at home.
I'm not sure but I believe mile for mile we have the greatest concentration of places of worship of all ethnic groups found anywhere in the world.
I won't ramble on and on you should grasp the point by now.

in the long-term, confident. yet immigration heavily isn't the only dying. There are different aspects besides. Immigration would desire to be a small proportion of the U.S. inhabitants – approximately decrease than 10,000 immigrants according to 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. This us of a can not have sufficient funds to in effortless terms permit all human beings in. there is only no longer sufficient room in this us of a. This us of a needs to decrease its inhabitants to decrease than two hundred million. We do only no longer choose greater human beings and immigration is including greater. this would reason long term financial and social issues. between now and 50 years from now, the U.S. financial gadget will retrench (by using depleting supplies, height oil, and environmental failures) and greater human beings will recommend greater issues because of the fact there will be much less jobs and a a possibility civil conflict. Plus unlawful immigration with its criminal and terrorist aspects will only upload greater to the subject. bear in mind, immigration would desire to benefit the U.S. first and not any incorrect way around. additionally, maximum immigrants do no longer assimilate nicely in this us of a.
