Immigration

There are two, one more salient.

1) A supply of workers who will work for less than the minimum wage.

2) Increased tax collection from sales taxes (unfortunately not nearly covering public service costs)

France is a good one, but French people are quite anti immigration. France paid some of its immigrants to go back to their country. Danmark is a good country to migrate too simply because they have very good social services, but are also anti immigration. Sweden has good services and relatively welcoming of foreigners. Canada does not have such good services, but has very easy immigration rules. Australia is also known as an easy one, but have a racist reputation. New Zealand is better than Australia but does not have as many opportunities.

Prior to 1880, a large majority of immigrants came from Great Britain, Germany, or Scandinavia. After 1880, northern and western Eruopean nations continued to send immigrants to the US but "new immigrants" began arriving from southern Italy, Turkey, Greece, Slavic, Hungarian, and Rumanian parts of the Austro-Hungaian Empire, and from Russia, Poland, and other southern European areas. In 1921, Congress enacted a law limiting annual immigration to the US to 350,000 people per year. Each year, European nations could send to the US a number equal to 3 percent of its nationals who were in the US in the year 1910. In 1924, Congress amended the immigration law and reduced the number of immigrants to 150,000, and the quota to 2 percent, and the base year to 1890. This law favored immigration from nations like Great Britain, but discriminated against central and eastern European nations like Poland, Russia and Syria.

The African-Americans settled various counties in Texas. Some of the settlements included Omaha, Dawson, Harlan and Custer among others.

high unemployment, high poverty and overpopulation was a problem. also, bad ages and high taxes. however, a range of different foods were brought over :)

Asia and Latin America

Many immigrants work hard and they are employed for jobs that locals are not willing to be employed for. They also try to save as much money as possible.

They come from many different country's all over the world.

They often immigrated because of freedom (of speech, religion, etc.) or safety (from tornadoes, hurricane, earthquakes, etc.)

America since, as discovered by Christopher Columbus who called it Indies, as revealed in his book A NEW WORLD REVEALED, has been a country of immigrants who brought cultural diversity, new traditions, languages, knowledge experience etc. etc. from their respective countries to develop America into a strong Nation.

It is when all immigrants come together in one place

Nineteenth century European migrants to the US settled in all parts of the country. Some groups generally preferred urban settings, but others preferred rural settings.

Everything from baseball players, to salsa, to Pancho Villa. Mexico has had a dramatic impact on the United States and has had one for a long time. When Texas fought for its independence the Tejanos residing in Texas largely sided with Sam Houston and the Anglo-Rebels - the first vice-President of Texas was a Tejano 'Zapata' and also, coming from a nine year old, i have to guess that Mexicans brought piñatas to America?

In the times when immigration was heavy, America was a blossoming country, and was said to be the best place to live. It was thought that America had land and jobs to share and that is why America was a popular place to immigrate to.

In the case of why the Irish specifically came, it was most probably the Potato Famine. The Potato Famine left thousands of Irish starving, and without any income. Raising the potatoes was the livelihood of most Irish and when the rot struck, they had no way to pay landlords or pay for food. They were forced to leave in hopes of a better life somewhere else, and since America seemed to be so rich in opportunities, most chose to go there.

The major port of entry for immigrants from 1905 to 1915 was Ellis Island in New York Harbor. Most of the immigrants came through that station starting in 1892. San Francisco was another major port.

It was introduced into Australia because Australians wanted to keep Australia all white. This immigration restriction act would let the government have control of all the immigration to Australia. From the Immigration restriction act, a dictation test was developed to prevent non-whites into the country. This Dictation test was often 50 words from a scientific text book ( meaning that it would feature hard to spell scientific words). This passage that was dictated by the immigration officer was in any European language. If a immigrant somewhat passes, then the officer would give the test again in a different language until it would pass. The immigrants were usually pacific islanders & asians.

If the size of the labor pool increases, wages will go down.

For centuries, if you realize that many Mexicans had lived in the Four Corners regions, North into the Ute Pass Area, and had been involved in commerce on a routine basis to the Aztec Capital in current day Mexico. La Raza or the Race is not a myth, its existence is real, important and an un-understood part of North American History. Texas, New Mexico, California, Arrizona, parts of Utah and half of Colorado have Mexican origins and Mexican roots. Predjudice, the Removal Acts, the complete urge for Manifest Destiny and the need for a commercial route via Santa Fe to the West Coast. The Texas-American revolution divided the US because of the slave issue. The Mexican American war was a grave injustice. That injustice encourages blatant border violations.

Immigrants still come to America today for the same reasons as they did in the past. They come for jobs, college, freedom, and the acquisition of rights available to all citizens.
