But, why do people still want to come to U.S?Because of various reasons, some of them want freedom, others says they have escaped from their government, some people consider U.S the land of dreams, some people might come because of employment opportunities, some others want to get rich, quite a few others want to practice their religion without any fear. Finally, they all came to have and build a better life. They want to have a better future, a good job, a fancy car, a huge house, and safety.

Throughout the history of the United States immigration has become apart of our country’s fabric which, began centuries ago. Only to become a hot topic in the US in recent years with its primary focus being illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration is when people enter a country without government permission. As of 2008 the Center for Immigration Studies estimated that there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the US which is down from 2007‘s 12.5 million people. Although the Center for Immigration Studies estimates are very different from other estimates that range from 7 to 20 million. While the Pew Hispanic Center estimated in March of 2009 there are 11.1 million illegal immigrants and that number is from March 2007’s peak of 12

Many people from all over the world saw America as a place to create a better life for them and their family. America was a place full of many job opportunities, ones that were not available anywhere else in the world. It was in America that people from different nations saw the chance to escape the place they originally lived because of unfair government or as a chance to have money to send back to their family in their homeland. The period after the civil war was an era of tremendous migration from southern and eastern Europe as well as from China, because of all the opportunities that were available here that were not available anywhere else. Migration was also prominent within America when African Americans

Since World War 2 and the Vietnam War, Australia has become a multicultural country. Before the Vietnam War, though, the Australian government tried their best to keep Australia ‘white’. After the fear of communism from Vietnam, the government thought it would be in the country’s best interest to try and build up the population in Australia, but only allowing ‘white’ Europeans and British people to come. What is included in this report, is to discover how and why the migrants from non-European countries manage to change the face of modern Australia.

In many cases throughout America’s history immigrants have settled here for many different reasons. In conclusion these reasons were known as push and pull factors. Push factors are factors that repel migrants from their country. And pull factors are factors that attract migrants to move. In my main immigrant group which is the Chinese, there were several push and pull factors that I will be mentioning. First, some of the push factors that were included in my group were the fact that there were a lot of disasters. For example there was draught, poverty, a famine, and floods were also included in these disasters. To state these factors more specifically, it was around the 1840s and 1850s when

Immigration has existed around the world for centuries, decades, and included hundreds of cultures. Tired of poverty, a lack of opportunities, unequal treatment, political corruption, and lacking any choice, many decided to emigrate from their country of birth to seek new opportunities and a new and better life in another country, to settle a future for their families, to work hard and earn a place in life. As the nation of the opportunities, land of the dreams, and because of its foundation of a better, more equal world for all, the United States of America has been a point of hope for many of those people. A lot of nationals around the world have ended their research for a place to call home in the United States of America. By analyzing

During the late 19th century and early 20th century, America had an overwhelming number of immigrants arriving through Ellis Island. The goal for them was to try and recommence a new life and encounter freedom. They dealt with struggles in their home countries such as high taxes and famines. They left everything they knew to come to America to come through the Golden Door not acquiring what they expected.

Citizens from around the world have been migrating to the United States for centuries. During the 1880s all the way up to the 1920's, more than twenty-five million foreigners voyaged to America. After World War I ended on November 11, 1918, there had been a massive increase of immigrants. The result of numerous people migrating to the U.S. greatly impacted culture and society. The majority of immigrants were traveling from Eastern and Southern Europe. As immigration increased after World War I, some questions in need of answering are what were the significant reasons as to why European immigrants started coming to the U.S. during the 1920's through the 1930's after World War I? How were they able maintain their cultural identity? Immigrants decided to resettle in the United States in search of new beginnings, riches, and the

Immigration soon began to go explode, but is wasn’t just one place immigrants were coming from, they were coming from many parts like Russia, Italy, etc. It was starting to pour in enough that

Immigration in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s is much different than today, especially of what country they are coming from. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s most immigrants came from Europe, and a few came from Mexico and Cuba. In the late 1800s and early 1900’s, individuals in numerous parts of the world chose to leave their homes and move to the United States of America. Fleeing yield disappointment, get and work deficiencies, rising expenses, and starvation. Numerous immigrants went to the United States of America, since it was seen as the place that is known for financing open door. Others came looking for individual opportunity or alleviation from political and religious mistreatment. With trust in a brighter future, almost 12 million migrants touched base in the United States somewhere around 1870 and 1900. Amid the 1870s and 1880s, by far most of these individuals were from Germany, Ireland, and Britain - the main wellsprings of movement before the Common War. That would change definitely in

Little migration was happening, but four decades later immigration increased rapidly. Many from Britain, Ireland, and Germany moved to America

During the 20th century, extreme immigration from both south and east Europe dramatically changed the ethnic and religious composition of the population. The old immigrants came from common places such as Britain, Canada, Germany, Ireland, and Scandinavia. The new ones come from Hungary, Italy, Poland, and Russia. Most of the immigrants are either Catholic or Jewish.

The effect of immigration has not significantly changed since the 1900s. The documented immigrant population has slightly decreased since the 1900s however the undocumented population has increased over the last 50 years. Immigrants have increased the supply of labor and lowered the prices on products.

Immigration in the early 18s was motived by economics reasons and people where more favorable toward immigration because they viewed it as a way to boost the US economy.
