In the better part of the 1880s to the 1970s most of the immigration was coming from Western Europe, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Starting in the 1980s we saw a great influx of Latin America moving to states, such as California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. In the mid and lower 1900s most people were immigrating to Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions. Starting in the 1960s or 1970s we see people immigrating to the Western region of the United States. In the year 2000, there was explosion of people coming to California from Latin countries. California almost seems to double with residents during this time period. You can also see this explosion of Latin America immigration in Texas and New Mexico. During this time period we also see a slowdown

Just as immigrants come from many different places in the world, they settle in different places in Canada. Most Immigrants tend to settle in cities, either in Ontario or British Columbia. The simple reason why people settle in cities is because it is easier. Support systems available in cities help immigrants settle in and adapt more comfortably to their new home. For example, there are English and French classes offered to the people who cannot speak Canada’s official languages, so they feel more comfortable when interacting with other people. Another reason why people move to these provinces is because of economy. Ontario and British Columbia both have good economies and a variety of companies that people can work for. This helps immigrants to support their families (something most people

They settled mostly in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal because they are seen as big cities with greater job opportunities. The problem with skilled immigrants taking unskilled jobs began in 1880 when immigrants from Asian countries were hired to build the Canadian Pacific Railway. Those that are affected are people that come with high level of education and their credentials and experience are not transferable. This causes a psychological effect because skilled immigrants have spent many years getting educated and come from high paying jobs. The immigrants that come to Canada are not given the opportunity to continue their career that they have built for themselves and unfortunately end up taking unskilled jobs with a huge drop in salary which creates a very high level of emotional instability. The consequence of this results in Canada spending more on welfare because these newcomers will depend on the country. Canada as a country is missing out on talent because many skilled immigrants will think twice before moving, considering the fact that it is much more difficult to find opportunities that will allow them to pursue their career without having to go back to College and redo their

as miners and cowboys. Many of their families came from Mexico. Also, many retired people live here.

Immigration before the 21st century consisted of various people from many different countries. Charles Hirschman says, “The 1880 to 1924 age of mass migration, primarily from Europe, and the post-1965 wave of immigration, primarily from Latin America and

a) Overview of the Topic: To understand how and why Arabic immigrants arrived to the Dominican Republic, we must analyze Dominican and the history of the Ottoman empire during the 19th century.

In recent years the immigration subject has been more present than ever. The immigration subject has been treated as a minor problem, but now it seems to be getting more popular. Before no one would listen to immigrants because according to the laws of the United States illegal people were criminals. Currently we are still criminals according to the laws, but we have proved the opposite. Who would think about immigrants becoming more successful and stronger in this country than actual citizens. But not everything has been easy for immigrants for the most part it have been hard as hell.

Big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, a lot of Hispanics are populated. There are 2.27 million Hispanic populations in the total of 8.3 million populations in New York City. In Los Angeles, Hispanic population is 1.8 million out of total population of 3.8 million. 1 That is almost the half of total Los Angeles population. The next largest Hispanic population was in Houston with 908,000. One thing I noticed was that Hispanic people do not settle in one region of area. They are well populated all over the nation. The most Hispanic people in the U.S are originated from Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba and El Salvador.

One reason that caused the Dominican migration to the United States in the last century was the Trujillo’s regime, the opportunity for a better future and work opportunities. For example, poet and fiction writer Julia Alvarez, who wrote best-selling story How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, family fled from the Dominican Republic because “her father began to be eyed with suspicion by security agents of Trujillo dictatorship, due to his possible link with an anti-government plot” (Torres-Saillant 150). Trujillo’s regime effected everyone, especially those who were against him or disobeyed him, which resulted most often their death. Another One reason that caused the Dominican migration to the United States in the last century was the opportunity for a better future. Dominican writers come to the United States in the first place because of the parents’ desire to expose their children to “American spirit” or it was to escape Trujillo’s violent regime (¬¬¬Torres-Saillant 147). Because of the Trujillo’s dictatorship, education was limited and was created to prevent any rebellion against the dictatorship. Whereas in the United States It was known as the land of the free with great opportunities for education. The third reason that caused the Dominican migration to the United States in the last century was the work opportunities. In Harvest of Empire by Juan González, he explains why Dominicans moved to the United States because of better paid, he states, “a Dominican doctor
