South Americas Immigrants To The United States

It used to be said that the United States was a "melting pot"-a place where immigrants from many different cultures came to gether and melded into one new American identity. Today, though, we realize that America is more like a salad bowl, where each food retains its own unique identity. Each person keeps her own individual cultural identity, and yet each contributes to make the United States a creative and exciting nation.
