SUMMARY: Manuel Delgado immigrated to the United States in 1996, from Spain. He came to America, not knowing the language nor with means of financial support, to pursue education in the Unites States. He is optimistic about the American Dream and believes that it is achievable by any immigrant, through hard work. He also advocates that becoming a legal immigrant, allows one to integrate into American society and improve oneself, to eventually have a decent life.
In addition, Manuel Delgado mentioned that American society benefits from the diversity that immigrants offer society and the work force. They contribute to a bigger platform, to incorporate different ideas, for the common success of a company or society.

ANALYSIS: Manuel Delgado mentioned, in the interview, that immigrants make up the American society. The United States was founded by immigrants, therefore our culture naturally is a melting pot of the ethnic groups. Immigrants contribute to national prosperity through their diverse contributions to society and their companies in the work force. They have also molded modern day society in regards to the American demographic, that largely includes immigrants, and the concept of the American Dream. For Manuel, the American Dream is achievable for all immigrants, through hard work and legally becoming a U.S. citizen. This optimism about achieving the "American Dream" empowers new comers to work harder than the average American born individual. Therefore, they have more of a ambition to achieve upward mobility and keep the "American Dream" alive for other immigrants, which is still something immigrants aspire to achieving even in modern day society.
