　　近日,美国纽约的计划部门公布了一项报告,该报告显示出纽约的大范围的变化.1970年,纽约人口的18%是外来人口,到1995年,该比例上升至33%,另外的20%的人口是外来移民的美籍后代.因此,移民和他们的后代如今构成了纽约城的人口的大部分. 　　这些外来的纽约人是谁?他们为什么要来?他们从哪里来?（好了,现在让我们停止使用“他们”,因为我也是其中一员.）最后一个问题最好回答.我们来自世界各地.在1990至1994年间,向纽约移民人数的排行榜的前十位,其中六个亚洲国家,五个加勒比地区国家,四个拉美国家,三个欧洲国家,还包括伊朗和前苏联.当我们这些移民到达纽约的时候,我们卷起了袖子,准备好好拼搏.我的一个朋友告诉我,“如果你不准备在纽约好好工作,就打道回府吧”. 　　纽约市长曾经说“移民继续在形成独特的文化特征并推动纽约市经济的发展.”他相信移民是造就纽约辉煌的关键.相反,在欧洲,经常会听到政客们担心移民会破坏社会团结.从1970年后半期开始,美国已经承认1.25万合法移民,并欣然将他们纳入社会结构体系中.这些移民充满活力,刻苦工作,因此他们将在下个世纪为美国再创辉煌.
