No one here will write your assignment for you, but if you post your 3rd draft or later, someone will be able to critique your thinking and writing.

Read lots and take good notes, including notes about where (which websites) you found information you use in your response.

Ethnic Enclaves had a positive impact on the immigrants but a negative impact on the Americans. It was a positive thing for the immigrants because they were arriving to a new country and there was cities that made them feel welcome and at home. I think it was a good idea because it helped the immigrants keep their culture and traditions alive. On the other hand, when the immigrants spoke their native language or engaged in their customs, many Americans questioned their allegiance. They thought that immigrants would put their allegiance to their home countries or religious leaders before their allegiance to the U.S. The Americans felt threatened by the immigrants different culture. In many ways the Americans wanted the immigrants to forget all about their own culture, traditions, and beliefs, and start focusing on the American lifestyle. This is when Americanization programs came in.

Ethnic Enclaves had a positive impact on the immigrants but a negative impact on the Americans. It was a positive thing for the immigrants because they were arriving to a new country and they felt welcome and at home and they wanted to kept their culture alive. However, it was a negative impact on Americans because they felt almost offended and wanted them to reconstruct their life style and their culture, beliefs, and religion.
