In summary, the Mexican-American minority continues to suffer 2 impediments to the acquisition of higher socioeconomic status. The social backgrounds of this ethnic group are among the most disadvantaged in the 🇺🇸

An important element of these lower origin statuses is the recent history of immigration, for the new arrivals from 🇲🇽 have not been as well educated as Mexicans Americans of native birth or as American blacks. Aside from their start from lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder, Mexican Americans also fail to convert their resources into achievements with the same efficiency as blacks, and both of course experience unequal opportunity (in that sense) in relation to the native white majority (non-Mexican non black).

These unequal chances in the quest for worldly success are not the products of being an immigrant per se, except to the extents that the foreign born have been less well educated and thereby fail to qualify for the better paying jobs and higher earnings of their American –born compatriots. This is an important observation, given the "new" immigrant status of this group, and it underscores the finding of an earlier section that ethnicity rather than generational status differentiates socioeconomic achievement in contemporary American Society's.

Cultural theory o for the poor 

The Frenchman's American Journey concluded in 1832, the same year in which Lincoln first entered politics as a candidate for the Illinois legislature.

"Amongst the novel objects that  attracted my attention during my stay in the 🇺🇸", Tocqueville wrote "nothing struck me more forcibly than the general equality of conditions." Above all, Tocqueville like Lincoln, was struck by the level of Social mobility in the 🇺🇸. Not not only were differences in wealth between rich and o for the poor much narrower than in Europe, but most of the wealthy persons he met had made, rather than inherited, their fortunes 🔮 even the o for the poor expected to be healthy someday.

"I never met in America", he (Tocqueville) noted "with any citizen so o for the poor as to cast a glance of hope and envy on the desire for enjoyments" Tocqueville believed that the fact that most Americans in the North were neither rich nor o for the poor—they thought 💭 of themselves as "middle class"—lent American society enormous stability. He argued that, in combination with the opportunities for social mobility the Nations middle–class nature provided a barrier against social upheaval and revolution.

"between these 2 extremes [wealth and poverty] of democratic communities stand an innumerable multitude of men almost alike, who, without being exactly either rich or o for the poor, are possessed of sufficient property to desire the maintenance of order, yet not enough to excite envy.

Such men are the natural enemies o violent commotion; their stillness keeps all beneath them and above them still, and secures the balance of the fabric of society."

Therefore a disability history of the 🇺🇸 came soon: in the early 1970's a small number of members of Congress began to argue that civil rights legislation prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race genre(masculine-femme) and religion should be extended to encompass people with disabilities. While congress and president Richard Nixon argued about page 166 how much money 💰 should be dedicated to the rehabilitation act , people with disabilities quickly picked up on the potential of section 504.

This is not how America is supposed to work socially. In his famous 1941 "four freedoms" speech, Franklin D. Roosevelt enunciated the principle that all Americans should have certain basic economic rights, including "freedom from want".
