“Ever since the first settlement of Europeans in the New World –at Jamestown in 1607 and at Playmouth in 1620 –America has been a magnet for people seeking adventure, fleeing form tyranny, or simply trying to make a better life for themselves and their children. An initial trickle swelled after the American Revolution and the establishment of United States of America and became a flood in the nineteenth century, when millions of people streamed across the Atlantic, and a smaller number across the Pacific, driven by misery and tyranny, and attracted by the promise of freedom and affluence. When they arrived, they did not find street paved with gold; they did not find an easy life. They did find freedom and an opportunity to make the most of their talents. Through hard work, ingenuity, thrift, and luck, most of them succeeded in realizing enough of their hopes and dreams to encourage friends and relatives to join them.” (Free to Choose, New York: Avon Books, 1979，p1)
