Books with title Immigration

Immigration is nothing new in the United States. In fact, the United States is a country founded by immigrants. But is the modern-day immigrant experience better or worse than it was decades or centuries ago? Easy-to-understand language and dynamic graphics help to answer that question by offering an overview of the modern immigrant experience. First-hand accounts provide deeper understanding of why people emigrate to the United States, what they're seeking by moving to a foreign country, and the challenges they face when they get there.

From about 1820 to its height in the early 1900s, the United States and Canada experienced a huge influx of people from other countries seeking to become citizens. This fascinating book details the historical evidence that helps explain why there was a mass migration of people from around the world. Readers will learn how prejudice and circumstances at the time of an event can influence people's interpretation of evidence.
