The United States are a nation, which is founded and formed by immigrants. They are influenced by a constantly increasing number of immigrants. The immigration policy is permanently changing because of - different developments of international relations, - political trends and - economic conditions (circumstances).

The history of the immigration policy Before the year of 1875 the United States of America had an open immigration policy. Before the American Civil War (from 1861 to 1865) most immigrants came from Western Europe and the British islands; not forgetting the forced immigration of million African immigrants, who were essential for the country life in both centuries before the Civil War.

After the Civil War the immigrants mainly came from China, Japan and Korea. They changed the whole structure of the American immigrants. From 1880 to 1920 twenty million European immigrants entered the United States. With these European immigrants the agrarian society became an industrialized nation. During this time and later the flow of immigrants was regulated through resolutions by the government to limit or completely hinder the immigration of certain nationalities.
