Abstract
Some cities are marked by clearly-defined ethnic neighborhoods, others are more diverse. Among immigrant families, men are usually the first to arrive, hoping to earn enough money to take back home. Historians call these immigrants "birds of passage" even though few ever make enough to return home. The most they are able to do is send for a wife. Transition to a new country is difficult for the older generation but their children have different experiences altogether. Public schools and workplaces encourage immigrants to throw off old-world bonds, yet the strength of ethnic ties, usually maintained by women, competes with the desire to assimilate. Some native-born Americans openly resent the arrival of so many new immigrants.
