It defines what poor immigrant families who came to the U.S. with not even a dollar in wealth did to help raise their children to a better living.


tell me what the typical class mobility of poor immigrant families is today compared to then

tell me if something changed

tell me what changed

be specific


The mobility is better. What's changed is an abolition of overtly racist policies that used to hold immigrants back like the Chinese Exclusion Act and "Irish Need Not Apply." It's never been easier for poor immigrants to succeed in the U.S. Natural born U.S. citizens have even less of an excuse to escape poverty, and this reality is an enormous source of tension and embarrassment for many people.
