General Information On 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.

Being the largest percentage of the entire population, the immigrants have far influenced the cultural practices of the entire state. Pass time activities that are usually done especially in the evening are always conducted in a manner that reminds them of where they came from. The several museums that have been established in this area are aimed at educating visitors of this place about the origin, history and culture of these foreigners.

Chicagos economy cannot go anywhere without the input that comes from immigrants. It is a state where all kinds of labor are readily available ranging from skilled to non-skilled labor. The immigrants own the many businesses that are operational in most parts of this land. They even have been able to start and own many large firms in that area.

The demographical data recorded has taken a different twist in Chicago. The increased population growth that people are used to in this state has become the direct opposite with a declining population recorded in the last census. The Mexican immigrants who were the majority have reduced. In fact, in the last four-year, more Mexicans have run away from this than those who came in.

There are two main reasons attributed to this decline. One is about the reduced birth rate which has led to the emergence of a population comprising many seniors. There is also the policy against undocumented immigrants. This has made most Mexican immigrants especially to be afraid of immigrating leading to their decreasing number.
