Mulberry Bend, New York.
I chose this photo because it looks like it sums up immigration as a whole. From taking a glance at the photograph one can see the people roaming the streets working very hard and they look very focused on getting their task complete. One can see the cleanliness of the street to be below average. It seems as if there is no organization in the streets and that it is every man for himself out there just like immigration was during that era.

Immigration continues to be such a source of conflict in the US because it literally happens everyday. If one takes a close look into society as a whole today, unless one is native american, everyone is an immigrant. Immigration does not only bring negatives to society as it is mapped out to do. But it brings fourth positive affect as well as it did in the 19th century. They brought other traditions, religions, and other techniques that were acquired by the United States and made them a better country as a whole.
