Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explore the American Dream viewed from the immigrant’s perspective. Various definitions of the American Dream are presented as well as the Dream’s origins with a particular focus on the meaning of the American Dream for the immigrants. The paper highlights the four waves of American immigration by explaining who, why and when came to the Unites States, and what were their expectations. Immigrants have commonly viewed the United States as the country that promises an equal opportunity for everyone to succeed as stated in the United States Declaration of Independence. Despite having to face many obstacles and challenges when arriving to the United States, immigrants keep coming and they never lose their faith in the American Dream. Compared to the countries they left behind, they have always seen the United States as a land of opportunity, and they have embraced the chance to succeed that they did not have in their own countries. Finally, with respect to all the statistics, data, definitions and immigrant’s perspective of the American Dream, it is evident that the American Dream continues to attract millions of immigrants who come to the country and will continue to do so in the future.
