Immigration Timeline
While all of these characteristics of the immigration movement are different, and came at different times in American History they all have a few things in common; hope, new beginnings, and millions of people beginning to merge as a nation.
The beginning of the migration movement started with the Native people coming over from Asia and then transformed to something even bigger with wave after wave of more immigration coming from all over the world.
There have been many laws passed about how and when people come into the United States, and laws that have tried to let people in and keep people out. These laws have helped, whether they are good or bad, to pave the way for the laws that we have in place today to help all of the people that are still immigrating to the United States.
With these new laws, students that move here with their families now have the help in the schools to help them better understand the English language and eventually help them be able to speak it with little to no issues. They have paved the way for all of the students in the United States to be able to learn in an atmosphere that will help them grow to their full potential.
