Immigration from Latin American countries steadily increased.
Internal developments in China during the late nineteenth century, such as poverty, overcrowding, political instability, and natural disasters, pushed many Chinese to seek economic opportunities abroad, including in the United States. Additionally, the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the impact of Western imperialism further fueled the desire for Chinese to emigrate in search of better prospects.
Immigration patterns in American history have shifted significantly due to various social, economic, and political factors. In the 19th century, waves of immigrants primarily came from Europe, driven by industrialization and famine, while the late 20th and early 21st centuries have seen increased immigration from Latin America and Asia. Additionally, changes in U.S. immigration laws, such as the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, have influenced the demographic makeup of immigrants. Today, immigration remains a dynamic and often contentious issue, reflecting global trends and domestic policy changes.
