Deindustrialization shifted the immigrant image from temporary worker to permanent cultural outsider

Evidence

In this transformation, the traditional image of the immigrant tended to stress cultural, rather than social, aspects. The stereotype of the single male worker, the incarnation of a labor force which is destined to leave the host country sooner or later, gives way to an image which is defined in terms of national or ethnic origin, religion, language, whose presence has become a permanent feature of the host society, where he is expected, along with his wife and children, to disappear culturally if the political culture is one of integration by assimilation (France), to remain forever a foreigner if the ius sanguinis predominates (Germany), or to become part of a minority (United Kingdom). — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3152
