Abstract

Many of the great events in American history began with the arrival of immigrants. More than four hundred years ago, with the arrival of the British, the United States gradually changed from an Indian tribal system to a mixed agricultural system of farms, which signifies the fundamental institution of American crops and cultivation; Approximately 300 years ago, western Europeans fleeing famine came to the United States, providing the states with the means of production and advanced technology learning from Industrial Revolution, which brought the United States Taylorism; nearly 200 years, due to the demand of gold rush, countless of Asian immigrants chose to reside in the U.S, passingly promote the occurrence of the Gilded Age and the development of Atlantic Railroad. In these cases, immigrants played inseparable roles in shaping the identity of the U.S. To deal with the essential part of a nation, America pertinently issued lots of statutes for the past four hundred years, each of which deeply influenced the demand and supply of immigrants from different countries. Three of the most representative ethnic groups were selected as aggregate samples. By comparing the laws of three different reference objects, this paper analyzes the differences in the treatment of immigrants in the United States and the subsequent development of the three ethnic groups in the United States. The purpose of this paper is to explore the restrictive policies and effects of foreign immigration in the United States. In the process of research, the investigation will show how America and immigrants respond to their own needs and social environment to some extent can be drawn.
