When I attended elementary school in Europe, I remember a few small
references to the Europeans who emigrated to the USA.  They were described
as low-class unable to make it in Europe and therefore exiled to the styx.

But when I attended HS in the USA, the immigrants became the adventurous,
and daring people who built the USA.

Of course, the emigrants who came to the USA before the 1920's (when there
were open immigration policies) are quite different that those who have
come in the last 20's (when the government has been very selective in
choosing immigrants).
