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.
