Immigrants came to America with the intention to live a better life, but they did not get to pursue their dreams. The reason why most dreams were either not pursued or deferred was that they came to America less fortunate than those who were already here. Those who were already in America, aka the ‘Americans’, looked at the immigrants as peasants or just poor individuals altogether.
Most people in America do not still provide access to the American Dream for the ‘tired, the poor, and the huddled masses’, through the ideals of having no freedom, and not having opportunities or equal rights. The American Dream doesn’t provide access to freedom because not everyone feels free. A famous poet/rapper quote states, “The American Dream wasn’t meant for me, ’cause lady liberty’s a hypocrite, she lied to me, promised me freedom, education, and equality, never gave me nothing but slavery, but now look at how dangerous you made me callin’ me a madman because I’m strong and bold” (Tupac Shakur). This shows that not everyone feels that freedom was made for them when misjudged or perceived as a bad person by others looking in but not actually being in their shoes. For example, Tupac was a rapper who talked about his personal life and those whom he was surrounded by, but was getting arrested for being a ‘thug’. That proves that my argument is valid. Not saying that the American Dream does not still provide access to Americans, because it could have been for him, but his choices were to rap about the things he felt harmed the black community, and other people didn’t like that he was what they call today ‘woke’. Just because it’s not fair or freedom isn’t given to one person doesn’t mean it’s not given to others. As his eyes were open to things going on around him and his music was a way for him to speak up about it because no one else would.
In the American Dream, the ‘tired, the poor, and the huddled masses’ don’t have the same opportunities as the wealthy people and luxury homes when they are way wealthier and more accomplished than the people who are just less fortunate. A famous quote states, “No person can maximize the American Dream on the minimum wage” (Benjamin Todd Jealous). This shows that without money it is impossible to live the American Dream. Because in this world nothing is free or just handed to you. Not saying that the American Dream does not provide opportunity because that doesn’t apply to all people. Opportunity comes with success, not failure. If you aren’t successful then the opportunity wouldn’t apply for you as it would for others. The American Dream does not provide access to equal rights. A famous poet once stated: “Let America be America again, let it be the dream it used to be” (Langston Hughes). This shows that nothing in America is the same as nobody shares the same rights as another individual. Back then only a selection of people had fair rights and the others didn’t. The laws changed, and people thought it would be different. But now today were dealing with poverty, poor, homeless, rich, and wealthy folks. Nobody’s the same, not saying everyone can’t have equal rights, but everyone isn’t financially or mentally on the same level as one another.
In conclusion, I still believe that America does not still provide access to the American Dream. But after writing this paper, a part of me feels like they do. Everyone isn’t given the same everything, sometimes people have to work harder than others saying that life isn’t fair. But nothing is fair: those who have access to the American Dream might have earned it, and those who didn’t just didn’t earn those same rights. I still agree with my thesis but I feel that both sides of the argument are true after research.
