Assimilation Dynamics: An In-depth Analysis of Immigrants' Integration into American Society from Historical to Contemporary Perspectives

Iftikhar Mehmood

Abstract

Assimilation is the process by which immigrants become some part of the mainstream culture of their new nation, decreasing the contrasts among migrants and native-born Americans. Research frequently recognizes social assimilation, in which ethnic and social standards from the past nation become less common and different factors, for example, socioeconomic success and educational equity, alluded to under the umbrella of structural assimilation. Assimilation, particularly social assimilation, has been a questionable discussion in American policymaking, influencing education, health policy, and other areas. Previously, many trusted that all out assimilation was important for the sound working of American culture. Today, many grasp multicultural or divided absorption speculations, which see multiculturalism and a particular ethnic way of life as strength rather than a weakness.
The United States has for quite some time been seen as a land of opportunity for immigrants. However, both past and today, US natives have expressed concern that immigrants neglect to incorporate into US society and lower wages for existing workers. This paper reviews the literature on historical and contemporary migrant flows, yielding new experiences on migrant selection, assimilation of immigrants into the US economy and society, and the impact of migration on the work advertise.
