Throughout the history of the United States, immigrants have generally assimilated into the dominant society. This process has taken time and has not always been easy, but eventually, most immigrant groups have become part of the cultural fabric of the country. This process of assimilation has included adopting American customs and values, learning English, and adapting to American political and economic systems. While there may be some tension and resistance along the way, assimilation has been the norm for most immigrant groups in the U.S.
