This graph portrays the fluctuations in immigration to the United States, starting with 1850 until 2011. There is a dramatic decrease in immigration through the years 1930-1960, for these were the periods of the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War with Russia. In addition, there is a decreasing in immigration between the decades of 1990-2000 and 2000-2010 due to the U.S. recession.

I agree with the conclusion that not many people immigrated to the U.S. during the Great Depression since there were not many jobs and the economy wasn't doing well. I find it interesting that immigration increased by a lot in the years 1990-200. I wonder why that is.

I question why immigration had not picked up in the 50's and 60's, when the wealth had picked up in the States. Had the depression hit other nations by then?

I wonder why immigration was so low during WWII because you would think that Europeans would've wanted to get out of there as soon as possible to get away from the violence, and America would've been the perfect place to escape.
