According to a different source, this question refers to the late 19th century and early 20th century.

During this period, debates over immigration and assimilation in the United States continued, and intensified. This was mainly due to the fact that the country received an enormous influx of immigrants. The high levels of immigration led to deep changes in society, and to a new definition of what it meant to be "American." America became associated with the idea of a "melting pot."

During this period, class identities changed greatly as well. The country became more urban, as many people moved to cities to work in the new businesses and factories that were growing all over the country. Moreover, most immigrants settled in cities as well. The growth of cities gave rise to the working class, and the urban poor, altering the way class identities operated in the country.

Answer:

Hi

Talking about migration has become a daily topic today. We all live in a time of migration, and the conditions, context, objectives and results of migration become increasingly complex. One of these migration needs is identity and its promotion through education has become more complex in this context in the context of migration. To think about education is to think that immigrant children are important to the State, since the formation of this citizenship is guaranteed from an integration in that structure that is the national identity. In this context, immigrants have a very important role for the conservation or transformation of these national identities, which are in decline due to a series of questions and contradictions that have accumulated throughout history.
