After the Civil War, people started migrating West and more immigrants started coming. The country went through several major changes between 1865 and 1880 that resulted in significant changes in labor and industrialization. The majority of the country owed war debts and there were money issues that caused people to lose money, but the country was quickly industrializing and urbanizing to improve agricultural life. While the North was thriving from new inventions and methods, the South was trying to recover from the affects of the end of slavery.
Without the immigration and slavery from early United States history, especially from the time period of 1880 to 1925 one can only imagine where we would be today. The topic of immigration from 1880 to 1925 is not a largely known subject, though it is taught in many of todays history courses. Around the time of 1880 the United States stood welcome and open to immigrants, the immigrants were being let into the United States because the U.S. needed workers to build railroads, and this was the perfect opportunity. Many of the white race became unhappy with immigrants coming to the U.S., but it was brought to the attention of them by Booker T. Washington that without immigrants and slaves where would the U.S. be? The tensions surrounding immigration
While reading The Immigration Kaleidoscope: Knowing the Immigrant Family Next Door I could not help but think back to when I was working in the restaurant industry.

One of my favorite coworkers Anna, who moved to America from Mexico to send money back to her family, forcing her to leave her young daughter behind.
When immigration policy is discussed, typically, it is discussed within the confines of egalitarian notions and sentiments, and inside the boundaries and parameters set by generally Marxist-influenced social democracy. Characteristically, it is not discussed pertaining to the concept of a social order built on the rights of property owners, sharers, and contributors to and of the common stock- which at their discretion- may exclude bad apples, lazy contributors, rotten characters, trespassers, and terrorists. Once egalitarian sentiments and notions are rejected full-scale- (only giving credence to those that have empirical weight or logical consistency) more proper, more substantive interdisciplinary analyses may reveal that the current investigative techniques employed by current mainstream political theorists are- in the context of reality, incorrect, superficial and quite shallow.
The famous singer-songwriter, Conor Oberst, told huffington post, “How we treat the undocumented says a great deal about us as a people and whether or not we'll continue to fulfill the fundamental American promise of equality and opportunity for all.” According to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 240,255 people were deported in the year 2016. However, this year the number of arrest have rose up to 38 percent (Gomez). The number of people being deported have been increasing every year. The reason behind the increase of number is unfair hearings and policy of deportation. The United States Immigration System should change their policies on deportation because it violates the constitutional rights and exposes the inequality towards immigrants.
The United States has transformed through several movements and Immigration has helped shaped how workers, farmers, and the progressives lived. Each group believed they had changed how ideas and movements reformed the country. Immigration is what caused history to change and has allowed the American populations become what it is today.

The reaction to the incoming amount of Immigrants into the Unites States of America was a little mixed, while some founded organizations, that were against Immigration, such as the American Protective Association. Other people, such as writers, liberals, and obviously, the rich, were all for the fact of letting Immigrants in, for the sake of the American dream. Take Document A, for example, we will take the poor, or the tired, and the people will let them in and give them the ability to dream. However, which side was more abundant, was the side that was against the Immigrants coming into America.
Ever since Columbus and the Conquistadors landed in the New World starting in 1492, natives of those lands have constantly subjected to being treated as lesser beings. One of the reasons for immigration to America in the 17th century was so that the civilized British might colonize and Christianize the savage, brutish Natives. The idea of Native Americans being lesser than the British-American immigrants continues to this do, though not quite so out-spoken. It was most prominent in the 1800’s when numerous tribes where forced to march to designated Native American reserves.
Immigration is still a thing today but it was very different in the early to mid 1900’s. There were many types of people coming in and out of the U.S. They all were coming for their own reason. One of the most known reason was just so them and their family could have a better life. Some would go through Ellis Island, the island was pretty much what national services/customs is today. One good reason for the Irish was the famine (Doc. 1). The Irish couldn't grow their potatoes, their main source of food and money at the time. Another main reason was that the Italians were in some hard times and epidemics(Doc. 1). People immigrated from greece also. A Greek man shared his reason for immigrating.

The United States is a country made up of immigrants from all around the world. With that being said, in 1800’s through the 1840’s there were masses of people coming in from all over the European nations. Mainly from Ireland and Germany due to the desires for a different life which they believed they would acquire in the new world. These immigrants appeared to be looking for freedoms and many opportunities that were seen as easy to come by in America. It is clear that America was viewed as the land of liberty, with many prosperous opportunities and still appears that way to the newcomers from current day in search for a new life.

New Zealand (NZ) ranks very well in quality of living standards globally and thereby makes it a sought-after destination for immigration. To ensure protection of interest of immigrants and to safeguard the reputation of New Zealand as a top destination of choice - the Immigration Advisers function is regulated via implementation of the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 (‘The Act’).
