In regards to our new book I looked for something on immigration conditions in New York City. What I found was an article that showed a report of a research project conducted to analyze the housing conditions immigrants live in. In the book it talks about immigrants contributions to economy and the transformation of the city. This showed evolution of a city to fit minority groups. The sanitation of the housing facilities are out of control. Immigrants are forced to pay high percentages of their rent for very poor conditions. I think that the correlation between our reading and this report are that some things never change. This book talks about how New York City is now less than half white. Minority groups now tend to make up a large portion of the population. Our readings talked about the economical gap between whites and minorities and I think that this article is evidence that it continues to grow.
