Recently United States has felt a rate of immigration that is very near to the intensity of immigration that took place at the turn of the last century. Yearly, the collective legal and illegal immigration is over one million. Since 1930s, for the first time foreign-born people now amount to over 10% of the population. Latin America and Asia are the main places from which people legally migrate to the U.S. A great mass of illegal immigrants comes from Mexico and Central America. Before 1970, immigrants came mainly from Europe. In the beginning of the 20th century, Asians were particularly expelled by legislation.
