¡¡¡¡New York - The Melting PotÀ´ ¡¡¡TRecently the Department of Planning of New York issued a report which laid bare a full scale of the city. In 1970, 18 percent of the city's population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had risen to 33 percent, and another 20 percent were the US-born offsprings of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form a majority of the city's population. ¡¡¡¡Who are these New Yorkers? Why do they come here? Where are they from? (OK, time to drop the "they". I'm one of them). The last question at least is easy to answer: we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 source nations of those sending immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four in Latin America, three in Europe, plus Israel and former Soviet Union. And when we immigrants get here we roll up our sleeves. "if you're not ready to work when you get to New York," says a friend of mine, "you'd better hit the road." ¡«¡«¡«¡«¡«¡«¡«¡«¡«¡«¡« ¸ü¶àÄÚÈÝÇë½øÈ룺¡¡×îÐÂÖ°³ÆÓ¢Óﱸ¿¼-ÔĶÁÀí½âÄ£ÄâÌâÓë´ð°¸[13]
