Many times the first generation doesn't assimilate very well and have a tendency to live in areas with other immigrants from their country. It is the second generation that the assimilation happens because they go to school, met people, go to movies, and are Americans. They sometimes live a dual life with one foot in the new world and another in the traditions and culture of their parents. I have lived in Another Country and can tell you to go into a country not speaking the language or knowing the culture is intense. The most simple things you have to learn and it takes about 6 months not to have a sensory overload everyday.

How has immigration changed the American society?
Immigration to America has changed dramatically; before about 1950, people came to America to escape persecution, or to seek an opportunity to make a better life for themselves. Immigrants wanted to leave their old nationalities, languages and conflicts behind, and to start fresh in the wild frontier. Most immigrants wanted to become Americans and integrate into the American culture and philosophy, and stop being Irish, Italians, Polish, or Japanese. Since then, the pattern has been slowly changing. More recent immigrants are less willing to learn English, and prefer to retain their original languages and traditions. To an increasingly greater extent, recent immigrants come not for the opportunity to make a good life, but for the good life itself. Instead of integrating into American culture, they are rebuilding their old national societies as cultural enclaves within the United States. This has contributed to the increasing factionalist strains in American politics.
