Statue of Liberty Inscription…

• “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”– Emma Lazarus' sonnet, New Colossus

• What does this quote reveal about America’s history of immigration?

So, How Many…

• Historians estimate that fewer than 1 million immigrants – perhaps as few as 400,000 – crossed the Atlantic during the 17th and 18th centuries

• From 1850 to 1930, the foreign born population of the United States increased from 2.2 million to 14.2 million

• From 1880 to 1924, over 25 million Europeans migrated to the United States

Currently…• In 2006, the number of immigrants totaled

record 37.5 million• After 2000, immigration to the United States

numbered approximately 1,000,000 per year*• Despite tougher border security after 9/11,

nearly 8 million immigrants came to the United States from 2000 to 2005 – more than in any other five-year period in the nation's history• Almost half entered illegally

Ultimately…

• HUGE, unprecedented increase in the amount of people coming to the United States

• People are extremely opinionated on the issue, leading it to be a major topic in the 2008, 2012 elections (and will be CRITICAL issue in 2016)

• Many systems and laws in place to monitor the amount of immigrants

Contemporary America…
