Abstract
America has (nearly) always been the destination of choice for the world's migrants. Spanning an entire continent, the country has historically offered land, jobs, and tolerance to those who seek them. For South Americans especially, the United States had been attractive for its accessibility and welcoming nature, the latter thanks in large part to an American sense of shared interest and history for its other Western Hemisphere/ex-colonial brethren. ecuadorians have come to the United States for many of the same reasons as other South American immigrants - economics. America's steady growth of demand for low-skilled jobs, particularly in the latter half of the century, has given ecuadorians an easy in into the country, although this is not always the case, as we shall see (Gratton 580). The focus of this paper will be on those ecuadorians who came to the United States between the late 1960s into the early 1980s, an era of turmoil both at home and in the U.S.
