What Makes Us American

Uploaded by immigrationcouncil on Dec 18, 2009
When you think of the United States what is the first thing that comes to mind?
Maybe you think of the food, the holidays, or symbols of the American identity? Each of these elements paints a picture of the United States, but what truly makes our country what it is today, is the people.
This video presents a montage highlighting the diversity and pluralism that makes our nation uniquely multicultural.

The very concept of America was created by Europeans. Lets not forget that...

@supreme006 well he was an immigrant wasn't he? You don't have to become a US citizen to be considered an immigrant, but obviously a stupid person like you thinks so, and you only think this is stupid because you most likely harbor prjudice towards others, so you are the stupid one.

It's misleading to use Einstein as an example of an immigrant enriching America. ALL of his seminal work was done in Europe, technically as a German citizen, but as a resident of Switzerland. (Or as a stateless Jew if you prefer.) He did have a comfortable retirement in Princeton, but that's all. But specific facts aren't important to the people who made this stupid video.

It should support European culture that's in north America,Argentina has an immigration system based on European culture.
