“Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses”: Immigration to America

Abstract

During the decade 1970 to 1979, more than 11 million immigrants came to the United States. The only comparable period in the nation's history was from 1900 to 1909, when entire towns emigrated from Italy, Poland, and Russia, and eight million immigrants arrived in America.
