Advocacy groups, whether private or government-sponsored, ease transition from home to America but being uprooted poses severe psychological and sociological problems that are not easy to fix.

The United States remains one of the only nations to openly welcome immigrants as a national policy; Canada is another. For centuries the United States has relied on immigrant labor to fuel industry and add nuance to the nation's cultural fabric. The United States is no longer viewed as a melting pot because of the increased pride among immigrants in their native cultures and languages. Balancing assimilation with preservation of culture is still the most difficult task for immigrants, many of whom hope for a more stable life in the new world while still retaining the values and lifestyles of their ancestors.


Refugees continue to hold a unique social, economic and political status in the United States. As Tumulty notes, the Hmong assimilated poorly in American society compared with their Asian counterparts because unlike immigrants from Thailand or Korea, most Hmong arrived destitute, without community, and as political refugees. Their unique status matches that of many other immigrant groups that look to the United States as the promised land.
