What is life like for Mainland Chinese immigrants in the United States? The Wall Street Journal said that due to the uncertain American economic recovery, after three years of rapid growth, the number of immigrants in the United States decreased in 2013. In contrast, according to the US Census Bureau, the proportion of global immigration to America actually grew from 1990 to 2013, and the population of Asian Americans has grown by about 46% over the past decade, faster than that of Americans of other races. Hoeffel, Rastogi, Kim and Shahid). Approximately 23% of these Asian Americans are from China (Hoeffel et al.), and in China there are a growing number of Chinese who tend to immigrate to the United States. However, there is little information they can find to examine the real life in America, so some of them are worried about the uncertain situation and wonder whether their life will be better or not after immigrating to America. Therefore, this essay seeks to outline the lives of current American immigrants from mainland China to help future Chinese immigrants thinking of immigrating to the United States eliminate their anxiety. These future immigrants from mainland China should not worry too much about their income but engage in politics as much as possible after immigrating to the United States. Chinese immigrants have lived in the United States for a long time, dating back to the gold rush days of the early 19th century. At that time, thousands of Chinese came and worked in agriculture, construction and other low-wage jobs due to lack of knowledge in other fields. When the American immigration policy for foreigners was adopted in 1965, the second flow of Chinese immigration emerged. As a minority group with...... half way...... with integration, you will realize that your life will improve. Works Cited Hoeffel, Elizabeth M., Sonya Rastogi, Myoung Ouk Kim, and Hasan Shahid.
