Immigration

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.

The largest period of immigration to the United States occurred between 1850 and 1930. In that time over 10 million people came to live in the United States from Germany, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, and other countries.

The California Gold Rush was in 1865. The economy was poor in China back then (my, how the tables have turned!!!) and they migrated here to get rich for their families.

Mainly COMMUNISM (Communism is making China's economy thrive at the moment, so that last part is up to you.)

Well, because of the fact that they are immigrants, they probably shouldn't have the "same" rights. But we can't forget that they are human and should probably have some rights. Because some immigrants have been living in the U.S. for over 10 years and have been a part of the this country just like a natural born citizen, therefore they deserve some rights.

1) the U.S. is not as good as people say it is 2) the U.S. is going down 3) immigrants only serve to make the U.S. weaker 4) the U.S. has MORE problems than any other country 5) our president reign is VERY bad 6) it is hard to survive as an immigrant 7) many more There is really only one disadvantage that I have seen with immigration and that is the language barrier. English is the offical language of America, but alot of immigrants don't speak English. Either because they can't or they won't. Either way it is a problem because if they work for you, how do you tell them what not to do, so they won't get hurt.

The main impact of immigration on Australia has been the development of a very multicultural society in Australia. This has influenced a number of areas such as politics and awareness of world events in a country that was once isolated from such awareness. The multicultural influence has also led to a ready availability of a wide range of foods from other cultures.

It imposed an immigration tax only on the Chinese, and limited the amount of immigrants. Also, English speaking, white immigrants from coutries like England and the United States were preffered over immigrants that were african, Jewish and Asian, so basically they were all affected. Hope this helped!

One of the immigration laws from that time period is somehting to do with the Chinese. In 1882 Congress passed an Exclusion Act that banned Chinese from immigrating to the U.S. The Chinese Exclusion Act also made it immpossible for Chinese immigrants to become U.S. citizens.

economic reasons, an immigrant farm worker can make more money in a single day here in the United States than he can make in an entire month in Mexico, Central America (except Costa Rica which has a very good government and economy), and some other third world countries. Benefits, in Mexico and other third world countries government does not provide free healthcare, public education, or many other free benefits to its poor citizens. To escape from corrupt leaders who exploit citizens. To escape war conflicts. Some immigrate to set up businesses here in the United states.

SPAIN!!
