Abstract

Many Americans fear immigrants. The opinions why, are as varied as the number of places, a person can be from. A hard look at what the idea means in today's discussions - and the cultural assumptions that underlie the meaning of the idea - evaluates what it means for a person to come to America and for a person to believe that they're from America. The most extreme viewpoints belie a fear that's great enough (with negative associations powerful enough) that the person unconsciously thinks, "Life's dangerous and uncertain and I'm terrified. What can I attach my fear to so that I won't be afraid? I'll blame foreigners for my terrible feelings, that way I'll know how to avoid my fears and stay safe."
