20. US Immigration: Three main eras of US Immigration:
Initial Settlement of Colonies (mostly English and African slaves)
Immigrants from all over Europe ( )
Latin America and Asia (1970’s-today)
Today:
Asia- China, India and the Philippines are 3 leading countries for immigration to the US
Latin America- nearly ½ million each year
Impact of Immigration around the world:
Spread of Indo-European language, Christianity, European art, music, literature, foods, political structures
Abuse of world markets to benefit of home country; political domination of areas invaded by Europeans; economics become based on cash crops rather than supporting local people and products
Illegal Immigration- people can’t get here the legal way (11.9 million unauthorized immigrants in 2008 with 4 million children born here to unauthorized parents)

21. Destination of Immigrants within the US:
1/5 in California and 1/6 in NYC metro area
Different groups go to different states:
California- Mexico, China, India, Philippines, Vietnam, Iranians
New York- China, Dominican Republic,
Texas- Mexico
Florida- Cuba, Columbia, Haiti
Illinois- Poland
Why?
Proximity
Chain Migration- immigrants cluster in a specific location because a relative or member of same nationality previously went there
Set up “ethnic enclaves”- neighborhoods with a large ethnic population from the same area

22. Immigration Policies-
US Quota Laws- limits on the maximum # of immigrants allowed; started in the 1920’s
Currently: 620,000 per year; no more than 7% from one country
Preference in the US- reunification of families and spouses; skilled workers and exceptionally talented
Refugees do not fall under the quota
Temporary Migration for work:
Guest Workers: citizens of other countries who are allowed in to work; usually they take low-status and low-skilled jobs but are protected by minimum-wage laws and others; the pay is low, but better than they would get at home- this helps the home country because it lowers their unemployment number and because these workers often send money home to their families
