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 history of immigrants in this land dates back in the 18s where Chicago was developing as a city. Most of the immigrants especially from Germany, Sweden and England, came as skilled labor for this developing city. By 1840 Chicago was position 92 as the city with the largest population in America. Two decades later, the number of immigrants had increased and was now position nine nationwide.

The immigrants have played a pivotal role in the day to day activities of this state. The many cultures are a sign of the diverged society that views the land as the point of convergence. Every evening different streets may be observed to have some sought of pass time activities that they used to do back in their mother country. There are several museums in Chicago that share the history and culture of where its people have come from.

Apart from the culture, the economy of this nation has immigrants as its wheels. These immigrants usually offer the biggest number of both skilled and semi-skilled labor. More so, the many small scales and even large scale businesses are directly attributed to immigrants. Most shops, for example, are owned by them. They have even established themselves into holding the largest 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.
