Map of the Day: Everyone Who Has Immigrated to the US Since 1820

Submitted by Taps Coogan on the 29th of January 2018 to The Sounding Line.

The following video-graphic, from Max Galka’s Metrocosm, shows the origins of America’s lawful immigration since 1820. Max Galka notes:

“From 1820 to 2013, 79 million people obtained lawful permanent resident status in the United States. The interactive map below visualizes all of them based on their prior country of residence. The brightness of a country corresponds to its total migration to the U.S. at the given time.”

“Through most of the 1800’s, immigration came predominantly from Western Europe (Ireland, Germany, the U.K.). Toward the end of the century, countries further east in Europe (Italy, Russia, Hungary) took over as the largest source of migration. Beginning in the early 1900’s, most immigrants arrived from the Americas (Canada, Mexico). And the last few decades have seen a rise in migration from Asia.”

The video shows how the sources of lawful immigration to the US have become increasingly diversified in recent decades. Until the second half of the 20th century, only a handful of countries were significant sources of immigration at any given time. In the last several decades, the significant sources of immigration have grown from a changing handful of countries to nearly every country in the world simultaneously.

I’m happy to see that there is still a web site that allow anonymous comment, without the jail of facebook and google, true that some young nut will write by impulse and out of lines, but still a fair advantage. What i find out in my studies, is that old countries, let’s say; India, Perú, Italy, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, have gone down and even today they look ugly and miserable, and I find out why. Like the USA, the wealth attracted too many people from DIFFERENT, cultural background, all add up to the mess. I’m not talking about religion, but… Read more »

Are you trying to imply diversity is not our strength? Next you’ll be trying to tell me peace is not war.

simple solution – Any national “refugee” policy – must reserve a circuit-breaker policy. For the USA, NONE of these central americans have a legitimate claim to even apply for, let alone be granted, asylum. All of them ONLY qualify for aid IF they make their application in the first state they entered which is not at war and has a asylum process – that country was Mexico. There is incontestable prima facie evidence that these asylum claims are either fraudulent economic migrant claims, or venue-shopped claims where the refugee claimant seeks a preferred state for asylum. If you allow that,… Read more »

The central American immigrants have tolerated the slave conditions for generations in Central America. They bring greed combined with tolerance of social injustice that abound in Central America. Give them an AR 15 a thousand rounds of ammo and tell them to get justice in their own country. The oligarchs that create injustice in Central America want their peons the servants of oligarchs of Central America brought here to USA. The peons must learn to fight for their rights not come to US to get a job. They want to turn the US into another Banana Republic.
