Immigration

Hello again!

Now I'm going to tell you about the immigration in USA. I think it's very exiting to
learn about the immigration where people comes to USA from different countries.

The Immigration to the United States has been a major source of population growth and the cultural change throughout much of the history of USA. There were sent slaves from other countries to USA.

Before the year 1965 it was limited to immigration and naturalization of opportunities for people from the area that was outside of Western Europe. The movement of the Civil right to the USA from 2000-2010, it’s many people. The year 2008, it was 1 million who became American citizens.

Two-thirds of the immigration to USA every year amounts to the family reunification. In 2009 it was 66 % of immigrants, who were placed on this basis, 13 % was added for their skills in the profession and 17% for other reasons.  

The undocumented immigrants trying to enter the United States has no legal opportunity to go there, so they do not come into the country. This is because there is a great shortage of immigrant visas for skilled workers. In the early twenty-first century was the high enforcing the laws that exist that regulate the illegal immigration into the United States.


The Norwegian immigrants went to USA in the half of the 19^th. There were more than 4, 5 million Norwegian Americans who leaved to last recent USA census. And many of the Norwegian Americans live in Upper Midwest. The immigrants were sent from different countries and came to USA to work as slaves. It’s begun in 1825, it was several people who left Norway to come to USA. They took a ship to New York City and then, most of the immigrants moved on from Kendall. It was Cleng Peerson who was an emissary for all the Norwegian immigrants, but he died unfortunality in a Norse Settlement in Texas, 1865.

It was 65 Norwegian who emigrated via ports in the country, Sweden. And the next immigrants ship did not leave Norway before the year 1836. A group of people who were immigrants came from Tinn via Gothenburg. The emigration from Norway was out of religious persecution, but that was especially for Quakers and a local group who were religious, the group is called haugianere.  In 1825-1825 it was Norwegian immigrated to America, more than 800 000 people.

Today it’s more than 4,5 million people of Norwegian who has ancestry in USA today. The 55 % of the Norwegian Americans live in the Midwest and 21 % live in Pacific states of Washington, California and Oregon.

Ellis Island is in New York harbor at the mouth of the Hudson River. Once it was a main port for all the power of immigrants to the United States, it was in the end of 1900 and very early in the 2000 year. 1. January in 1892, the federal immigration station was opened and the station were closed in the year 1954. It was more than 20 million people who passed over the island. There was so many people, and just 2 % of the people couldn’t go to USA so they went back to their own country where they came from. It was because they were sick. Most of the immigrants lived in New York and in New Jersey. Deeportes and refugees was the island used for in 1924. “Ellis Island” got the name from “Samuel Ellis”, the

The federal government owns the island and it is operated as a museum today. From liberty state, Manhattan's southern tip and the park in Jersey City can take a ferige to the island Ellie Island. Island is quite known that people changed their name there. The immigrants who were Scandinavian believed it was necessary to have an Americanization of names that contained all the letters æ, ø and å.
