The American dream is the idea that any person living in the United States, through his work, courage and determination, can become prosperous and be able to support himself and his family.It is widely regarded as a myth but it is nevertheless one of the main engines that allows populations to migrate to the United States.

The American dream is also a symbol of success for this nation.

Barack Obama is proof of this.

In the 16th century, the first migrants left in america with the idea of the American dream in mind.

The designer still had not come out under this name but they were aiming to get rich on a new land.

The United States is a multicultural mosaic.

Indeed, there are many different nationalities: Irish, Germans, French, Russians, Greeks, Chinese, Japanese, African and South American.

At the end of the 17th century, many migrants landed in the United States because they were expelled from Europe by religious intolerance and economic difficulties but others were simply attracted by the opportunity to make a fortune.

Before the end of the 19th century, there really was no code of law pertaining to immigration.

From 1830 the migrants arrived en masse and in 1880 they are 5 to 7 million.

New York is the port where more than 60% of them arrive.

With the influx of immigrants, the US government decided in the late 19th century to suspend immigration to the United States with the laws of exclusion of Chinamen in 1882 and the immigration restrictions in 1901.

In 1892, the immigration policy adopted by the United States is symbolized by the opening of Ellis Island, which marks the setting up of the immigrant's reception system.

The new state of affairs in the United States.

It is now part of the statue of liberty national monument in features an immigration museum.

The motives of migrants are changed, it is no longer European religious intolerance but make a fortune.

Between 1901 and 1910 8.8 million immigrants arrived in the United States and 6 million passed through Ellis Island.

Although the nation of multiculturalism develops at the beginning of the 20th century, immigration laws that introduce quotas are being put in place during the same period.

Today, when we talk about immigration in the United States, we talk about the Mexican borders.

This border is the main migratory corridor of the world.

Mexicans arrived in the United States to escape the misery of their country in the 60s.

And as more and more Mexican emigrate to the US and start looking for work to accede to the American dream.

Indeed this common dream has all led more than 70 million people to try their luck since the 19th century.
