Den viktigste virkningen av 11.09 har sammenheng med polariseringen overfor muslimer og forholdet til Kina og India. Men virkningen er av mer generell karakter. Etter USAs framferd på Guantanamo  (amerikansk base på Cuba) og i Abu Ghraib  (fengsel i Bagdad), er det vanskeligere for amerikanerne å snakke og argumentere troverdig ut fra et menneskerettighetsperspektiv . Etter de feilslåtte krigene i Afghanistan og Irak, er det vanskeligere med troverdighet å hevde at USAs politiske og økonomiske system kan eksporteres – iallfall ikke med tvangsmakt. Sammen med stadig sterkere Kina og India betyr dette at Vestens overtak i global politikk er betydelig svekket .

European Waves The next period, called the first wave of immigration, was from 1680 to about 1776 where Scots-Irish and Germans were the major immigrant groups. After, the War of Independence, there was not much immigration until 1820.

Asian and Latin America Waves The United States is now experiencing the fourth wave of immigration which is a mixture of Asians (Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Chinese and Japanese,) and Hispanics, people who speak Spanish

n thirty years, it is predicted that Hispanics, and Mexican-Americans will be the largest ethnic group in California, including whites

Conclusion It is sometimes argued that illegal immigrants are so permanently attached to their lives in the United States that they would never return to their home countries. The findings of this report contradict this view.

Monthly data collected by the Census Bureau show a significant drop in the number of less-educated, young, Hispanic immigrants in the country. Prior research indicates that more than three-fourths of these individuals are illegal aliens. The fall in this population implies that the total illegal immigrant population has declined almost 14 percent (1.7 million) from its peak in July 2007. In just the last year the decline between the first quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of this year is almost 6 percent.
