When making the case for immigration's contribution to society, activists reflexively highlight the economic resilience of immigrant families, particularly their seemingly ceaseless drive to work their way up from poverty. While the tired "American Dream" mythology seems perilously naive these days, advocates nonetheless internalize the rhetoric of upward mobility when trying to deepen the immigration debate. But many groups have enough history behind them to test that narrative of the upward-striving new American--and we can see failure alongside triumph.
