Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
This article provides an analysis of the problems of adaptation and integration of Hispanic immigrants in American society. Migration processes always have been one of the most meaningful factors of formation the American nation, that is why the problems of integration of foreign immigrants in American society has been playing one of the most important roles in country public affairs for many years. The Vietnamese immigration in the USA strengthens the expat community lifestyle and United States of America still continues to remain the only highly-developed country in the world where the rate of population keeps on to grow fast. The influx of new immigrants is one of the main reasons of such growth. The research shows that Vietnamese expat communities had to go through the difficult way from the discriminated ethnic group of the migrant workers to the fully legitimate and successful American citizens.
