U.S.Immigration and Migration chroniclesand interprets the phenomenalwaves of immigration to the UnitedStates from the earliest timesthrough the period from 1820 to1930, when the United Stateswas the destination of some 60%of the worlds immigrants -- up to the presentday, when restrictive policies have temporarily stanched the flowof immigrants.
