US Migration Questions
1. For the first 100 years the US facilitated immigration. Immigration in the
US is widely considered to be in national interest to better themselves as
it benefits the US. However, beginning in the 1980s certain immigrants
were barred such as prostitutes and the Chinese, as well as workers with
contracts to particular employers.
2. There was a wave of immigrants into the US in 1965 from Latin America
and Asia. On average the US admitted 330,000 immigrants a year in the
1960s.
3. Depression in the 1930s led to low levels of immigration and in some
years more people left the US than arrived. However, immigration
increased after World War II as veterans returned with European
spouses and Europeans migrated.
4. Almost 110,000 foreigners enter the US on a typical day. Three ways:
Front door – Legally
Side door – Temporary visitors overstay their welcome
Back door – Illegally cross the border
5. Over 1,800 unauthorised foreigners settled in the US every day up to
2008 when there was the recession sharply reduced numbers. Roughly
half of them crossed the US-Mexico border illegally.
6. IRCA legalisation gave amnesty to illegal immigrants in the US and gave
them rights to live there which led to lots of people ‘coming out of
hiding’ and declaring themselves US citizens, so there wasn’t actually a
huge influx of people into the US
