Knowing More About Immigration In Chicago

By Elizabeth Smith


United State is a country that has no particular owner. It is made up of people who have come from different corners of the world like the Europeans, Latinos, and even Africans. Chicago seems to be the state that opted to take up the demographic outlook of the mother country. It is a state made up of immigrants as the majority and therefore issues of immigration in Chicago are the norm.

Everything that one comes across in this state is a significance of the imported culture shared by the majority. The foods in the restaurants, the items sold in these markets and shop are all a sign of one culture that is not of American history. The most interesting place is the school where one can count up to a hundred spoken languages by the students. This makes the land indeed a modern state.

It has been using these immigrants for a very long time now to create a stability of its demography. These immigrants regularly aid making the population grow steadily since they come in large numbers to an extent that they can replace the elderly aging natives, and even remnants are making the population grow.

The influx of immigrants in this vicinity did not start any time near. This migration was existing by the mid 18s. The earliest immigrants in this state came to offer skilled labor in the developing of this state. They mostly came from Germany, England, Sweden, and Norway. In 1840s, it became the 92nd city with the highest population. The numbers increased and in twenty years time it was number nine.

These immigrants have had their impact on the day to day life of Chicago as a whole. Various cultural practices are undertaken in the nation. A walk along the streets and estates of this area especially in the evening will give you a glimpse of how different people spend Their free time as they remember where they came from. There are several museums in this state where the cultures and history of the inhabitants of this state are showcased.

More so, the economy of this state cannot be where it is now if not for the input of these immigrants. These immigrants have been the source of labor in this country. In fact, most of them come to this state seeking greener pastures. Those running businesses around are mainly the immigrants. It is not a surprise to say that the foreigners own most of the firms around.

Despite all this good history, this nation is on the verge of losing the respect it has earned after a long time. There has been a negative population growth observed in this state something that has never happened in its history. Mexican immigrants who were the most have reduced drastically. In the last, for years more Mexican immigrants have gone away from this vicinity than those who have come in.

There is a decreased birth rate which appears to be a factor contributing to the reduced population. There are also strict measures which have been kept in place to deal with undocumented immigrants. These actions have intimidated most immigrants especially those from Mexico immigrating there.
