The American Dream truly turned the US into a space of unity and exchange?

The US is a nation defined by immigration as it is composed of colonies and the first Americans were in fact British colonists. We call the nation a “melting pot” because of many cultures and ethnicities are represented. Nevertheless, has the American Dream truly turned the US into a space of unity and exchange? To answer this question, I will first show that the American dream allowed exchanges and unity before explaining that in fact the United States is neither welcoming nor unified.

Firstly, America is a place where anybody from anywhere could success: this is the American dream. A lot of people come from all over the world because they believe in it. Like for example Fang-Yi Sheu, a modern-dancer who went to the US from Taiwan to fulfill her dream because New York is the worldstage. She left her parents and home country and she became a star.
I also read the posts of two migrants: Kayla from Cuba and Miguel from Mexico. The first one dreamed of the life she saw on American TV shows. Though the reality is very different than she had imagined, it was made to New York life. The second wanted to study and be graduated, he managed to join a prestigious university and even a job.
All this proves that coming to the US really makes these dreams come true.
In West Side Story, there’s a song opposing women and men about life in America and the women group is singing that “life is all right in America”, “you can be anything you choose” and “life can be bright in America” due for example to the possibility of buying on credits.
All this would lead us to think that the American dream is real.

However, in a second time, America isn’t in fact a perfect host country.
Not everyone is integrated: to return to the earlier example, the men’s group sang among other “one look at us and they charge twice” in response to the credit buying argument. They are talking about discrimination.
There are indeed discrimination in US, there is also a cover of Time magazine representing "the new face of America", a female face created by a computer from several hundred American faces. However, this face is very different from that of the average American. This suggests that not all ethnic groups are fully integrated.
Also not just anyone can fly in the US: I learned that when Irish migrants arrived in New York with nothing but a suitcase, they had to pass a medical examination and were dismissed if they had an incurable disease... Besides, even though they were safe, they had to pay $20 to stay.
Finally, perhaps the American dream does not exist. When they got to Ellis Island, one of the first things they saw was the statue of freedom. It is normally a symbol of welcome and, as its name suggests, freedom. Nonetheless, I saw drawings of the statue of freedom stopping migrants because there would be no more room in America and the Americans would lose their jobs.
Therefore, it debunks the American dream myth.

In conclusion, although some have succeeded in America, the American Dream is false. The success of some and the difficulties encountered by others lead me to wonder if the US is the best space for exchanging with the world.
