Immigration to USA

The debate over immigration in the US has a new geographic direction. No longer is Mexico, the leading nation for the new immigrants in the US as per the figures provided by the US Census Bureau.

Even during the  last year, Mexico still was ahead in sending more number of immigrants and less than decade ago, we find that Mexican immigration have exceed the influx from India and China by six fold each.  But in the last decade Chinese immigrants has almost tripled and number of Indian immigrants have more than doubled.

Muzaffar Christi and Faye Hips man of Migration Policy Institute has said that, the shift is remarkable because it has occurred rapidly.

China and India both are most populous nations in the world and they are becoming increasing integrated into global economy” they wrote. As there national economies have grown, per capita income had increased along with access to global travel and means to pay for education abroad.

Indian and Chinese migrations have risen steadily and the rate of Mexican immigration has been declined at much more rapid pace.
