What in crevecoeur’s description of american immigrants is the same today?

On the eve of the 19th century, in 1781, French-American immigrant Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur wrote a letter, the third in his famed Letters from an American Farmer, entitled “What Is An American?” His answer, as open for interpretation as it might be, was best been articulated in his fourth paragraph: “The American,” he writes, “is a new man, who acts upon new principles; he must therefore entertain new ideas, and form new opinions” (2). Two centuries later, however, American journalist James Fallows wrote an article entitled “Immigration: How It’s Affecting Us,” which almost entirely contradicts the nationalism that appears in de Crevecoeur’s essay. While both of the texts deal with this concept of “new,” the differentiation in pride and lack thereof the authors express in presenting the immigrant story reveals a difference in both personal perspective and an unfortunate lack of progress in the United States.

Explanation: Crevecoeur's current description of American immigrants is that of free and new men with a unique identity and essence that makes them different from the rest of humanity. People with the courage to prosper and expand and in which agrarianism was the key factor to achieve it. People with a high degree of individualism, tireless, self-sufficient fighters and with defined objectives.
