What are some of the conflicts surrounding immigration, population, and multiculturalism in the united states?

The correct answer is, some of the conflicts surrounding immigration, multiculturalism, and population in the United States have posed some questions not only to politicians, but to historians, human rights organizations, and citizens.

Immigration. This is a number one priority for the U.S. government. Particularly, the present administration has publicly declared that they want to build a wall in the border with Mexico because they consider that is a solution to stop migrant from Mexico, Central America, and South America.  

Multiculturalism and population. Once in the U.S. territory, immigrants keep their culture and beliefs systems. Not only in recent years but since the beginning of European immigration, multiculturalism has characterized the U.S. The West Coast region is full of Asian people from China, Japan, and other Eastern countries. The Northeastern region has many immigrants from Italy and many other European countries. Jewish people live in all the U.S. territory. Florida is full of people from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Texas, Nevada, Arizona, New York, and Connecticut are states where many Mexican workers live.

So these populated areas are still increasing the number of immigrants. Multiculturalism is one of the main characsteristics that can be found in the U.S. nowadays. Throughout the years, these have created many opportunities for the people and companies as well as many problems such crime and cheap labor.  

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
