Hamilton has been the key focus point of our class, and comes with remixes and adaptations that engage different thoughts, viewpoints and changes. I want to focus on The Hamilton Mixtape and the message that lies behind it. More closely, the song “Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)” and how it portrays the life, struggles, and sacrifice that they immigrants go through daily. Keinan Abdi Warsame, Claudia Alexandra Feliciano, Rizwan Ahmed, René Pérez Joglar, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Jeffrey Penalva did a great job of taking the song and finding lyrics that directly relate immigrants and voice there opinions and feelings through hip hop.
Immigrants enter the US as outcasts. They progress toward becoming insiders when their disparities do not influence the ways they communicate with others, the new gateways they have for themselves and their families, and how they partake in legislative issues. I agree, immigrants should be accepted in to our United States society because they prove they are hardworking and willing to go for their own. Being a US citizen does not consequently imply that people are being accepted.it is difficult to be an insider without having legitimate status as a man from others, and in any event the possibility to be a citizen. A lot of people in the U.S don’t accept the language of immigrants especially including the social, the economic, and the political side of the United States. “Look how far I come” is a great line to exemplify how immigrants have been more than enough in society today. We often forget the fact that immigrants have helped the United States since decades ago, and when they shine we often have do not like to portray the fact that they are in fact immigrants end excelling. The Hamilton Mixtape gives immigrants a shining light which they are years short on.
