Immigrants Live With Uncertainty

Today, the whole universe has become a global village. Since 1960s the United States has become more culturally diverse than at any time in history. Between 1970 and 2000, the foreign born population significantly increased in the U.S. In 1970, according to the U.S. census, about 27 per cent of the foreign populations were from Latin America and Asia. Since 1960, the US government has supported cultural diversity by developing a policy of multiculturalism. Its Bilingual Education Act of 1968 and 1978 provided funds to educate the children of non-English speaking immigrants and committed to the idea that all citizens had the right to preserve their cultural inheritance.
