Largest Immigrant Groups in USA | 1820-2023 | Immigration to United States

[AndySaenz]

I’m one of these immigrants from Mexico. My family and I emigrated to the USA in November 1991. It was a very cold winter in Albuquerque, there was a foot of snow on the ground. It took me 2 years to learn English in school. We recited the pledge of allegiance every morning in school.

This magnificent country has treated me well. God bless America. I love America. Happy 4th of July, everyone. 🇺🇸 🎆

The first Filipinos who immigrated to America as workers in the 1930s were registered medical female nurses. The US had a shortage of medical nurses and established American taught nursing colleges in the Philippines and the nursing graduates were immediately employed as medical nurses.

I’m Irish. It was very normal for so many Irish people to move to the US in the mid 1800s because there was a serious famine happening in Ireland at the time so millions of people left Ireland to other countries. A lot of them went to the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand but most of them of course went to the USA. And that’s also why these days there is so much Irish heritage in the USA these days.

came for the chart, stayed for the music.

Presentation very well done and magnificent. I clarify that, in the case of Africans, such as the case of Gambia, Nigeria, Congo, Congo DR, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Liberia, Angola, Benin, Guinea or Malawi, there were not immigrants as such, they arrived as slaves, and it was not because of choice. In the 19th and 20th centuries came the great immigration from Ireland, Germany and Italy. I had even heard that there were more people of Irish origin in the United States than in Ireland itself, the German Americans are the main ethnic group in th United States, during the great ”Italian immigration wave” 5 million Italians arrived in the United States, the most of the southern Italy, mainly Sicily and arrived mainly in New York where ”Little Italy” was formed not to mention New Jersey, Florida, California, Pennsylvania. In the 1970s until 2010 Mexican immigration began as a result of the crisis and chaos that Mexico went through at that time and the war against drug trafficking looking for a better life or a better job and business in the US, the majority of this group of Mexicans were from Central and Southern Mexico. Only Los Angeles, California is the second city with the most Mexicans behind Mexico City. I am not at all surprised by the large increase in immigration from the Philippines, India, China, Vietnam, South Korea, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela to the United States. They (Asians and Latin Americans) seem to change in the next few years the demographics of an entire country. The United States with 50 million foreigners during different waves makes it practically the country of immigrants that it always was.

The one that surprises me the most is El Salvador considering that country has only 8 millions people, having almost 1.5 in USA means your country got emptied by 20%
Even mexico with those 11 millions immigrants and 130 millions population doesn't have that rate.

I am Swedish and I know and have read about ancestors who emigrated to America. As a child we even had relatives from America who visited us thanks to one in my family who is interested in genealogy. 🙏❤️

[stevemcelmy]

Gambia, Nigeria, African in the Caribbean and Ghana should all have an asterisk since they didn't emigrate by choice.

At the beginning. Namibia Gahna, that wasn't immigration, that was slavery

[SquidProQuo]

80, 000 Mexicans became Americans overnight in 1848 once the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed... Mexico should have jumped to at least 6th place that year.

I always knew that there was a very big Italian migration movement towards the US - but I had no idea how huge it actually was.

[DR-wpgy]

I hear mariachi music all over my neighborhood. Im in Texas. Im not Hispanic but i speak a lil spanish and neighbors treat me to frijoles and carne asada and tortillas. I love it.

The first nation to which US🇺🇲 migrates is Mexico🇲🇽. The reason? Permanent remote work, retirement or family ties. There's about 1, 600, 000 americans living in Mexico.

[AlfredoMartinez-hmtb]

En 1833 Texas, Nuevo México, Arizona, California, Nevada y otros estados formaban parte de México.

[honduraswalks]

Germany and Italy got their countries in good shape so immigration decreased, hopefully Latin America gets their countries in shape as well.

[tundrajt]

What I would find truly fascinating is to know the emigration of the US and what countries they are going to. I bet the numbers aren’t as strong as its immigration, but I bet it is getting bigger and bigger as we come to modern times.

[guillermocontreras]

I like it how you change songs for each country.. you got my like. I am Mexica100%

[anandkumarmv]

Almost 90 percent of people from india who immigrate to USA are toppers from top engineering colleges in India and many of them work in the Information technology sector.

[breakingdan]

There’s a lot more German ancestry in the US than I realized. While Peru 🇵🇪 never made the charts on this video, my family contributed at least a tiny bit to Peruvian immigration to the US in the 1980s! 🙌

This is a wonderful way to view the history. Thanks to whoever made this. 👍🏻
