History of Immigration and Discrimination

Dates back to the 1820s-1890s, the

Second Wave of immigration. The first
immigrants past the colonial era
Mostly poor Irish and Norwegians

Worked cheap labor

Denied better jobs due to race and

religion

Became White and American after

the next wave of immigration.

America is in its Fourth Wave of

immigration

Most Latinos and Asians

Similar issues today that have been

experienced in the past

Our Experiment

We want to interview U.S. citizens and ask questions from the Citizenship
Test
Our social experiment is conducted to prove how stupid the test is and what
lengths immigrants must go through in order to become U.S. citizens
We want to interview people of different races to get a better grasp of what
each race faces in terms of immigration
We plan to interview college students
