What group of Immigrants has helped America the most?

Question

I am probably going to say India or maybe Korea as one of the tops. If it weren't for them who would be our Dry cleaners and motel owners.

Bondra btw I am an Indian Male. This question was merely a joke you can relax.

Answer 1

american indians of course.......with all those casinos

Answer 2

Everyone has contributed in different ways according to what was available at the time. I don't think any 1 group was "more important" than another. I don't think the computer is more valuable than the telephone or electricity. I 'll take the flush toliet over a digital camera any day....and bless whoever invented toliet paper. Beats dry leaves or whatever.....all I know is people came here with few things and made it work.

Answer 3

Moronic question on several levels. Not all Koreans are dry cleaners and not all Indians are motel owners. I am guessing that there are a number of Korean and Indian immigrants who are more educated, more successful, and more important to American society than "Drake." Visit any nearby university or corporation and get the picture.

Answer 4

The Finnish

Answer 5

The Germans. Those immigrants designed the weaponry that defeated Japan and nazi Germany in World War II.

Answer 6

The beauty of our success is that no single group of immigrants can be cited as the most helpful in achieving that grand success.

The U.S. success story is like a large pearl that has been formed one layer at a time.

Each and every wave of immigrants has done its fair share to contribute immediately upon their arrival and well beyond.

We are now a self-sustaining ethnic blend that will continue to add new immigrants and continue to build new layers of that large pearl.

Answer 7

The Irish the police force. They had one advantage over other migrants who went to the USA, they could speak English.

Answer 8

I'd have to say - the founders of The United States - That mixed group of European settlers.
Even their Queen had to come this week to visit.

Was your question, What group has hurt America the most?
Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. America love it or leave it. Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Leave it Now. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

Answer 10

It has to be the Irish. Hey, they don't name a police drunk tank after just anyone. The Patty Wagon. Take it easy folks, I am Irish

Answer 11

The group that helped the US the most is the group that worked hard and paid their taxes. You really can't say one group of people based solely on their nationality. There have been too many from all over that have both helped and hindered the progression of the US.
