The immigration I chose was Western Europe. The Western Europe immigrated in the 17th and 19th centuries. From the year of 1815 to 1932, About 60 million people left Western Europe to travel to the United States. In the 1880's the immigration to the U.S was European. The expanding of the American frontiers the West and the U.S revolution gained immigrants to the U.S shores.

Western Europe immigrated and left their countries because some of the immigrants came to Europe to look for work. They wanted to build railroads, clean the streets, and etc. The push and pull factor had affected the immigration (Boucher, n,a).

The push factor lead the immigrants to leave the homeland while the pull factors attracted to different countries. The Western European government instituted a immigration stop, they were restricting measures to the immigration to stop recruiting foreign labor. The immigrants who travel from Western Europe was 1/3 that came from Ireland, they were experiencing a massive famine. They mostly came to the U.S to look for greater economics,and some such as the Pilgrims arrived to search of religious freedom. The European initial experience in America was that the savagery encountered in the America, had invited the to conquer the implant the political, new languages and economic and legal systems. While in American the Europeans encountered many population such as hunters and fishers. The congress passed the legislation refugees from Europe to enter the U.S after the World War 2. In 1965 the Congress passed the immigration and Nationality Act, This act of legislation the nation had experienced a shift in the immigration patterns. In today life many of the U.S immigrants come from Latin American, and Asian than Europe (Kupperan ,n,a ).
