stories of migration

Historically, why do you think the United States has been a popular destination for international migrants? List some reasons. Do you think those same reasons listed are still applicable to immigration in the United States today? Explain.

religious freedom, safety, jobs available, democratic government
yes because we still have a democratic government, jobs available and you are free to practice what religion you want.


  • Describe why most people felt the need to leave the places where they were born and why they wanted to come to the United States.
Most people did not like the government they were being ruled by and wanted a place to freely practice what they wanted. Another reason was also safety.
  • Where did most of the migrants come from? (think regionally… how many migrants came from South America? How many migrants came from Europe? How many migrants came from Asia? How many migrants came from Africa?) 
The majority of immigrants came from Europe

Temperature and humidity did play a role in the transmission of other diseases like the flu and chickenpox but it will not play a role in Covid-19. Physical distancing may have to be practiced for another year to see positive results and to slow the spread of this disease.

migration

1. Discuss the topics of push and pull factors and explain the cultural, environmental, and economic reasons for migration.  2. Describe the demographic characteristics of international migrants.  1. A push factor induces people to move out of their present location. A pull factor induces people to move into a new location. Cultural reasons could be for reasons like family status or schools. Some environmental reasons for migrating are flooding or desertification. Economic reasons for migration could be moving to a developed country that has things your home country does not.  2. Gender of migrants and age of migrants. Ravenstein theorized that males were more likely to migrate long distances. In developing countries male immigrants outnumber female immigrants. Ravenstein also theorized that most long-distance migrants were young adults seeking work. The migrants who were moving long-distance were normally individuals not families with children.
