People keep saying that America was founded by immigrants who've made the country what it is BUT.... the majority of those immigrants were looking for a new life, a different way, not a continuation of the life they previously led. In short, they wanted to be Americans.

 

Is that really true?

 

Did the Chinese, the Irish, the Italians, the Jews, Africans and so on not all create their own 'little Americas' that have, even after decades, (centuries), still not fully integrated.
