More Migration Facts

Today I went to class and put my books down, then had to go to the IT guy because I broke my computer. I was very stressed out and flustered, but then he took care of it and I went back to class. Once I was back in class, we were reading a packet about migration. I learned many different interesting facts. I learned that about 80 million people migrated to the United States from the years 1820 to 2015. It’s very interesting as well that over half of these people were still alive in 2015. The United States had three main eras of immigration. These were colonial settlement in the 17^th and 18^th centuries. Then it was mass European immigration in the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Finally, it was Asian and Latin immigration in the 29^th and early 21^st centuries. There is still a lot of immigration but it isn’t in the huge masses from certain places like it used to be.
