But in reality, the vast majority of Americans today are here because of relatives who immigrated from other countries some time in the last several hundred years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while the distinctive American culture and spirit is the result of blending many diverse cultures and histories, the United States has for centuries had an up-and-down relationship with immigration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/projects\/la-na-immigration-trends\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">era of immigration<\/a> has been met with reductive ideas and resistance, whether the backlash was directed toward the Chinese, Irish, Italians, or Mexicans.
