One of my talking points for this week was realizing present-time immigration in addition to the past. After reading Chapter 5, it dawned on me that I've heard about immigration in the past tense so much (take Ellis Island, for example) in history classes over the years I forgot that immigration is a continuous thing, and is going on all the time. While it was interesting to read about the most recent wave of immigration, I was not very engaged in the rest of the chapter because I thought, "I've seen this before." Did anyone else get this feeling or is it just me?
