Mentioning about immigrants; refer to people who cross border to another states with difference purposes but usually for permanent residence. According to the reading 'The maze of Fear', it has shown how Americans were threatened by immigrants through different kinds of subversion such as religious, political, economic and racial subversion. As we know American is a civilize place where people want to be residence of as nowadays we can found wide ranges of immigrants from over the world in America or we called it 'Salad Bowl'.
In every human being, we have our own sense of belonging like where we come from, nationality, language and many more which differentiate us from other people within the same state or outside state boundary. But we cannot strongly feel and identify our differences if we do not look from other view or step outside the boundary. For example, when i was in the States, I told them I am from Thailand but they've simply mistaken that I am from Taiwan. So I was like no NO!, I'm from Thailand. I am personally feel that I am Thai and cannot be called by anything else. In the same sense, when immigrants migrate to different state, they will bring their culture and language to the new society and expand to the new generation until it becomes society of their own.
As a native American feel the threat of these immigrants because they new comer immigrants will bring the culture which will influence the one that they've already had there. On the other hand, these group of immigrants can be easily target because of the different of their appearance which can caused racism in the society. Somehow, the commonness of immigrants not only in American but in the other state that has the same background seem to link and understand one another well.
