In the early 19th century, the United States experienced significant immigration, particularly during the 1820s to 1850s. Annual immigration numbers varied, but it is estimated that around 100,000 to 200,000 immigrants arrived each year during this period, with peaks occurring due to factors like the Irish Potato Famine in the 1840s. Overall, this era marked the beginning of large-scale immigration that would shape the demographic landscape of the nation.
Over 2 million people come into the USA each year legally on either immigration or work visas.
European immigration to America began in earnest in the early 17th century, with the establishment of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement. However, significant waves of immigration continued throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly during events such as the Irish Potato Famine in the 1840s and the industrial revolution. Each wave brought diverse groups, including English, French, German, Irish, and Italian immigrants, shaping the cultural and demographic landscape of the United States.
The year 1890 was chosen as a base year for immigration quotas primarily because it marked a significant shift in immigration patterns to the United States, reflecting a growing influx of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. This choice aimed to preserve the demographic composition of the U.S. by limiting immigration from these regions, which were seen as less desirable at the time. Additionally, the 1890 census provided a comprehensive snapshot of the U.S. population, serving as a reliable reference point for establishing quotas in subsequent immigration legislation.
To this day there has always been immigration to the US
