The contribution of flights to the melting pot in the USA

The mini world within USA

While immigrants came here as laborers a century ago, they now come as students in the hope of making a good career, and then there are the professionals excelling in their trade, invited to fill in the skill gaps. The USA now trades with nations of all continents on the planet, importing what it needs and exporting high-quality items that citizens of other countries desire. Those international tourists coming to the important tourist cities here will find guides who can assist them in their language if they are not able to speak the English language. Here we list the impact changing demographics of this country has had on the patterns of the flights that are offered.

The neighbors looking to come over

The USA is known to have a large population of Latin Americans now, though they were not a visible minority half a century ago in most states. Most come here for a better life, looking for better job opportunities and a higher quality of life, as the countries they are coming from are still in a developing stage. So, you will find flights to the USA from Mexico, full of passengers at all times of the year. Those flying on these flights for the first time will get a taste of what is to come, though those coming from the major cities will have seen Hollywood movies and tasted items at eateries of American fast food chains, but they will face the real world once they touch down. A few of those flying from USA to tourist resorts like Cancun or San Juan, will be the well to do settlers who flew the other way the last time.

The examples to follow

Most people know of the existence of African Americans, due to their role in the entertainment industry in USA, as musicians and actors. There are often negative reports about how the community is treated, but this hasn’t stopped the flow of people coming over here from Africa. They aspire to live the good life which they were not able to live in their country and are certain that they will find it in the USA. The public figures of the country, who they watch on the international news channels are examples that they seek to follow. Most of them try to find homes in the areas where they will get to live with the people of their nationalities, as different countries in Africa have different cultures and lifestyles. In the recent decades a large number of people from this continent have migrated to European nations too, but their numbers here are relatively smaller.

The dream of a prosperous life

In the recent years peoples from the Indian subcontinent have come over to the USA in large numbers and a lot of them are the techies in the software industry. You will find them on flights to Newark airport in New York, with New Jersey a home of many of them. Their children are known to do well in education, which allows them to get to important positions in the government and creative industries. A large number of them are known to look for spouses from their country, which keeps their cultures alive. Though they still enjoy their curries at home, they are known to have integrated into the local communities here. You will find them on Christmas flights, to escape the chill to metropolitan cities in India. The life of older generations settled here gives the dreams of making a similar life to many people in their old country.

From across the Pacific

Though the relationship of the Asian nations were not friendly with USA with wars with Japan and in Vietnam, the flow of people this way hasn’t stopped in any way for over 2 centuries. The children of people who set up restaurants here or helped build the railroads are now in the biggest companies in the country and are known to be of the highest caliber. The newer people though haven’t stopped at the Pacific coast of the USA, but have set up enterprises in all parts of the country. Most of them are highly educated and have a good command over English language, which is not the language of instruction in most educational institutions in their country. They are able to adjust easily here as the East Asian and South East Asian countries have westernized themselves as much as they can. Despite Australia being closer, most prefer to fly all the way to USA for a new life.

Leaving the country and not the culture

In the last decades people of Middle Eastern origin, usually in modified versions of their traditional dresses, like different kinds of veils are found on the streets of the western countries. Most of them are still strict Muslims and pray as often as they can. You will find their populations in the areas where the mosques are. They are also known to catch flights to Mecca for the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Most of them, including those who came after the end of the colonial regimes have come to escape the conflicts in their part of the world, some which USA was involved in. There are old Jewish communities in large cities in New England region of the USA, and a number of them came to escape the holocaust in Europe during the Second World War. They are known to have do everything they can for their co-religionist in Israel, often traveling on flights to Tel Aviv for their holidays.

Conclusion

If you are coming over to USA from beyond Americas, you will be on long-haul flights crossing different oceans depending on what part of the world you are coming in from. Those coming here from within Americas will know more of the way of life here, still no one wants to change their lifestyle unless they have to. The promise of a better life is a magnet for most coming here and it will all start on the flights to USA.
