The US has typically benefited greatly from immigration. The most notable citizens of the US often came to the country as immigrants or first-generation citizens. In order to create a very open and happy culture that encouraged independence and ambition, we combined elements of the British core culture with the Nordic work ethic and values, the Irish mischief and love of the underdog, the Italian and Spanish influences, as well as those of the African, Chinese, and Mexican immigrants.
However, there have been instances when having too many immigrants has seriously affected the US. It has sparked several recessions and deflations. For instance, a rush of immigrants starting in the 1870s outpaced our ability to assimilate them, contributing significantly to the slump of 1890. Even worse, people were congregating in ethnic ghettos, which was seriously harming the country and destroying the pay scale, leading to an almost complete economic collapse. Similar trends are being observed with the influx of refugees and illegal immigrants into the US. Our economy is being destroyed by a lack of integration, ethnic ghettos, and labor excess, and national unity is hanging by a thread as a result.
Westward Expansion undoubtedly had something to do with immigration. At that time, the nation was experiencing a massive influx of immigration, which essentially compelled an expansion in order to provide immigrants and settlers with sufficient housing. I think the Westward Expansion would have taken place whether there had been an inflow of immigrants or not. Immigration made a significant contribution to the economy's and society's variety. The trading environment will undergo a significant transformation during this time due to the new skill sets that were coming from varied ethnicities. Without immigration, Westward Expansion certainly would have been conceivable. Earlier than immigration began to rise, colonists and settlers were already relocating west.
