I feel like Canada is more a nation of nation than the United States because Canada don’t share any common culture, the country has basically no history or no culture at all (food, music, tradition, no war) meanwhile when you immigrate to USA you become American and share somewhat of a culture with other citizens. In Canada you will always be the nationality where you were born before being Canadian.
I’m one of these immigrants from Mexico. My family and I emigrated to the USA in November 1991. It was a very cold winter in Albuquerque, there was a foot of snow on the ground. It took me 2 years to learn English in school. We recited the pledge of allegiance every morning in school. This magnificent country has treated me well. God bless America. I love America. Happy 4th of July, everyone. 🇺🇸 🎆
I am Swedish and I know and have read about ancestors who emigrated to America. As a child we even had relatives from America who visited us thanks to one in my family who is interested in genealogy. 🙏❤️
I mean I go to Italy all the time to visit my relatives there sometimes they come here to US or send their kids here for weeks in the summertime to stay with our family.
I’m Irish. It was very normal for so many Irish people to move to the US in the mid 1800s because there was a serious famine happening in Ireland at the time so millions of people left Ireland to other countries. A lot of them went to the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand but most of them of course went to the USA. And that’s also why these days there is so much Irish heritage in the USA these days.
@@artur6040 Umm.... no. I'm a college student rn and I sat through 11 years of learning history and I was never told of that. That's a bit weird to hear
The first Filipinos who immigrated to America as workers in the 1930s were registered medical female nurses. The US had a shortage of medical nurses and established American taught nursing colleges in the Philippines and the nursing graduates were immediately employed as medical nurses.
That's pure capitalism. Rather than establishing schools in the US and raising wages, it's better to invest in third world countries and bring cheap labor. Nothing against immigrants, every person has a right to live a better life. But it's just so profit driven really.
I hear mariachi music all over my neighborhood. Im in Texas. Im not Hispanic but i speak a lil spanish and neighbors treat me to frijoles and carne asada and tortillas. I love it.
Presentation very well done and magnificent. I clarify that, in the case of Africans, such as the case of Gambia, Nigeria, Congo, Congo DR, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Liberia, Angola, Benin, Guinea or Malawi, there were not immigrants as such, they arrived as slaves, and it was not because of choice. In the 19th and 20th centuries came the great immigration from Ireland, Germany and Italy. I had even heard that there were more people of Irish origin in the United States than in Ireland itself, the German Americans are the main ethnic group in th United States, during the great ”Italian immigration wave” 5 million Italians arrived in the United States, the most of the southern Italy, mainly Sicily and arrived mainly in New York where ”Little Italy” was formed not to mention New Jersey, Florida, California, Pennsylvania. In the 1970s until 2010 Mexican immigration began as a result of the crisis and chaos that Mexico went through at that time and the war against drug trafficking looking for a better life or a better job and business in the US, the majority of this group of Mexicans were from Central and Southern Mexico. Only Los Angeles, California is the second city with the most Mexicans behind Mexico City. I am not at all surprised by the large increase in immigration from the Philippines, India, China, Vietnam, South Korea, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela to the United States. They (Asians and Latin Americans) seem to change in the next few years the demographics of an entire country. The United States with 50 million foreigners during different waves makes it practically the country of immigrants that it always was.
Learn other cultures before you make a fool of your self. You assume all white immigrants are the same...learn about Irish Americans populating plantations. Don't dismiss places based on modern day racism ideology. 1700's, 1800's and 1900's racism was very different. Being redhead, freckled, and super fair skinned was also beaten killed and enslaved in America. Anyone different was hated. Not all "white people" are the same. My Ancestors never got the privilege of the American dream, they picked cotton right next to other victims of early America.
The one that surprises me the most is El Salvador considering that country has only 8 millions people, having almost 1.5 in USA means your country got emptied by 20% Even mexico with those 11 millions immigrants and 130 millions population doesn't have that rate.
Considering how their country is one of the most dangerous countries, with all the cartels and the crimes committed against the population, I can understand why so many salvis left their country for a better place
@@SpartanChief2277 la migración Salvadoreña disminuira asi como lo hizo la Méxicana... Yo creo que las que subiran seran las de Cuba, Venezuela, Honduras y Guatemala.

The first nation to which US🇺🇲 migrates is Mexico🇲🇽. The reason? Permanent remote work, retirement or family ties. There's about 1,600,000 americans living in Mexico.
About 40 million, since December of 2022. It’s hard to really say, since a lot of self hating Mexican-Americans, put that their white on the US census. And not just Mexican-American, but lotta of Hispanic’s in general identify as white. It wouldn’t matter if Mexicans had never, began immigrating to the US, after 1970 onward. Mexican-Americans would still be, the largest Hispanic population in the US, today. By far, somewhere around 21-22 million, the whole south west, was originally part of Mexico, their were Mexicans already their.
80,000 Mexicans became Americans overnight in 1848 once the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed... Mexico should have jumped to at least 6th place that year.
As a Slovak-American, Czechia should truly be Czechoslovakia between 1920 and 1993. If you change Russia to the Soviet Union, you should do the same for Czechia, considering Czechia (or Czechia Republic) didn't become a nation until 1993.
Czechslovkian-American ❤️here too . Grandparents and great grandparents fled in 1937 . My grandfather was 10 at that time, then turn 18yrs old in US and fought in WW2 for US . Lived to 85yrs old.
In this list you combined Scottish and Welsh people under UK, which was not done under ethnic origins lists. People from Scotland identify their country as Scotland and Welsh people identify their country as Wales. Also, many people from Canada are Scottish, Irish, Welsh, English or French.
The USA has always been extremely strict with Brazilian immigration, although Brazilians have never been the largest immigration group in the country. In the 90s, to create a local conflict in South America, they released visas for Chile and Argentina while limiting visas for Brazilians. The influence is so great that even Mexico asks for visas for Brazilians because the USA wants it that way. Several studies have been carried out and the most abundant tourists in the USA are Canadians, then the Japanese and then the Brazilians, who are behind the Japanese in terms of spending even though our money is worth much less than the yen. Time passed, the Chilean economy was in decline, the Argentine economy was unremarkable..... Brazil has received many American artists looking for full shows, the granting of visas has increased significantly, like never before. I've traveled to many countries but USA, Canada, Australia and any other country where I need a visa, I'm out...
This is interesting, I knew a lot of Irish went to America in the 1800s due to the famine but to see that lots of brits also went, however when I'm in America I can say I have met atleast 5 times as many 'Irish Americans' as I've heard someone refer to the bulk of their heritage as Scottish, English or Welsh. I know Ireland are very proud and would remind their offspring to not forget that they're Irish. Maybe that's why.
Its also more interesting. If 75% of your heritage is from boring colonial stock (British) , but you had an eccentric Irish Granny- your going to advertise yourself as 'Irish'! There is no stock in being a British-American because that is the background all other groups compare themselves to. To be British-American is to be American v1.0. Boring.
@@AlfredJewe1lwoah man I didn't come here to start an argument. You're entitled to your opinion but to say being Scottish Welsh or English are boring which Irish is "cool" really makes no sense, as English and Scottish accents in particular are loved in much of the English speaking world..
@@AlfredJewe1land you can't claim to be Irish unless you're born in Ireland. You're an Irish American if you parents or grandparents are Irish meaning you can get an Irish passport, that's pretty legit. Any further back than that and it's Irish heritage and you're a boring old stock American.. Sorry to break the bad news!
I think it goes by country I have Irish but one half of my Irish family immigrated to Liverpool and after came to America and there isn't any English in my grandfather (mostly irish) which I found interesting it seemed they stayed close together even when they came to New York but eventually did mix with German
It’s because Brits especially English and Americans are so close in culture. I mean the founders were originally British. Also Brits are not very patriotic or hold on to British culture as much so they easily acclimatise to the American way. I believe far more white Americans have British ancestry than Irish. But it’s the cooler of the 2 so everybody says they’re Irish.
Based on the graph labeling, I'm guessing the numbers are taken off the 10-year census (with interpolation for the intervening years) and don't represent immigrants in a given year, but people living in the US born abroad from different countries. Thus, some of the Swedes who migrated early would have died by the time later Swedish migrants arrived. And I'm also guessing this isn't strictly accurate that all of these are citizens. It would be nice if they put their data sources in the description.
Not sure about France. I guess you meant French Canadian from pre-Canada before 1867 and Quebec after 1967. Former Los Angeles mayor Beaudry, born in Montreal is good exemple. Or Juneau as co-founder of Milwaukee. Or Lowell, Massachusset were Jack Kerouac is from. Huge difference knowing that many French-Canadian were close from Native nations, and helped a lot to find paths toward West and South. When people directly from France are regarded as other Europeen new comers in the XX centery. And do the graphic included Cajuns, deported from Nova-Scotia around 1755?
My guess is that prior to the late 1800s, many French immigrants were Protestants. My Huguenot ancestors quickly assimilated to the dominant English speaking, Protestant majority.
@@jorgeandresvillarroel6088 latinoamericano*** it's not shown there, but there are millions of brazilian immigrants living in the US as well, and the number only increases
Look at the act that Kennedy signed in the 60s the jews didn't want a ymore Europeahs in USA, they wanted third world people .Easier to control and use as cheap labour
And in different states it all differs so much, all have different culture, different ethnicities living in every state, and different values also America has such an interesting history of colonization
Britain was a very harsh place for the working class in the 19th century like it was in Germany. Many left for Australia, the US and New Zealand to escape poverty. Their Numbers in the US was largely still small most likely due to the poor relationship of the US and UK in the 19th century. Their main destination was Australia once the new colonies were formed
Remarkable was how late migration from Italy started and the huge amount of migrants from Ireland. I knew there is a big Irish community in the USA but I did not expect that they lead by this many for such a long time.
Also Ireland is a very small country especially compared to almost all of the others on the list so it had a massive impact on our population. The famine caused a lot of it but there were other reasons.
I am Greek-American and I was surprised to see us in the top 20 for just about a hundred years! It is still funny to me how Greek Americans largely live in the urban centers that they first moved to. There are very few Greeks outside of certain cities/areas. Anyway, this was extremely well done. Good job.
Very true. The only reason the UK exists was because of Ireland though I do feel they should be separated as the UK today means British. So people will no doubt be confused as why the third highest ethnicity In the US today isn't represented if it just says the UK lol
There’s a lot more German ancestry in the US than I realized. While Peru 🇵🇪 never made the charts on this video, my family contributed at least a tiny bit to Peruvian immigration to the US in the 1980s! 🙌
They would've all eventually bred with the British that were already settled there long before. You won't find many people in the USA that have been there for more than a few generations without British DNA of some kind.
There's no way, there's too much endemic corruption. No matter who becomes Presidenté in any Latin American country, the corruption never ends. The US would benefit itself as much as Mexico to push them to change to US style laws, court systems and schools and pay their own people to rebuild their decrepit infrastructure. That would provide hundreds of thousands of jobs or more and slow illegal immigration to the US. Many illegals would probably go back if there was work and we'd eventually have a financially strong North American continent finally. But something has to be done about the cartels and the govt corruption or nothing will ever get better for them.
@@keithsj10 steal a loaf of bread at your local shop and see what happens. Will you tell the judge you "conqured" the loaf of bread? Dont be ridiculous. "Hopefully" chickens coming home to roost.
I don’t understand the chart why early 1900s Russian number fell down? & Germany from 2million to 500k. Isn’t total of immigrants can only increase unless they move back?
From the 1800s and 1900s Irish, Germans and Italians were a very large migratory group in the USA, and Mexicans in the 1970s to the present day, despite the decrease in their population in recent years they continue to be the large migratory flow. Much white Americans are from Italian, German and Irish descent, also much Americans with Latino/Hispanic DNA are from Mexican ancestries.
All of Appalachia was historically Scots-Irish (Scottish) and Welsh. Very few actually Irish until the Potato Famine. So a little more nuanced than you broad generalization. Currently flooded with Mexicans, yes, but those are mainly one variety of Mexican as you can see by their dominant physical features. We need boarder control!
I want to clarify that there is no such thing as latino/hispanic DNA… Latino or hispanic is not a race, it’s a cultural group made up of numerous races and ethnicities.
What I would find truly fascinating is to know the emigration of the US and what countries they are going to. I bet the numbers aren’t as strong as its immigration, but I bet it is getting bigger and bigger as we come to modern times.
There's about 5 million Americans living abroad vs 50 million Americans foreign born Americans. So the ratio is about 10:1 Unsurprisingly, the country with the most Americans is Mexico, about 1.5 million
The poorest 20% of Americans would all emigrate if they had the means to do so. With no healthcare and terrible gun violence its a bad place to be poor.
Still immense comparing India and China are on the other side of the globe whilst Mexico shares thousands of kilometers of border with USA. Maybe if those two countries were just a little bit closer to the USA they would have the largest influx of migrants to the Americas, not just USA.
Philipinos are great friends. They are simple and not greedy, will support you all the if you're a good leader. They're just chill and always find ways to be happy. They won't try to trick or overpower you. Just compensate them well and you're good.
Whether displaced or voluntary migration it's very interesting to see the cultural make-up of the US population from it's early beginnings. I wonder what's the numbers of middle eastern and east African migrants in the late 20th century I didn't notice those populations in the data. 💖 the musical scores.
Yep, the biggest immigrant in Philadelphia before 1860 was German. There's even a section of Phila. called Germantown. After 1860, the Irish were the biggest group.
Almost 90 percent of people from india who immigrate to USA are toppers from top engineering colleges in India and many of them work in the Information technology sector.
@@keralanaturelover196Kerela Nurses migrate to Middle East..Most of the nurses in US are migrated from South Korea..My brother who studied in IIT Roorkee got settled in US last year(He is from North India,Bihar)
I read on the USCIS website around 2011 that, "UK citizens were unable to partake in the Green Card Lottery, as there were high percentage of UK citizens in the United States already." According to this we had 700K UK citizens living in the United States, compared to Mexico's 11.9 million! I don't remember what countries were allowed, but what a joke!
all 2023 countries shown there are not eligible for diversity visas and then some. plus if you live in the uk, you can easily migrate to the us with a half decent education compared to the rest of those countries, youre a clown.
There's a lot of ways you can gain entry to the US, not just the green card entry. People from the same Continent are way more likely to get family sponsorship for example.
@@seansmith445 It surprises me that Americans of German origin are the most numerous, because there are not very many American surnames of clear German origin. I have been told that many surnames, including German ones, have been changed or otherwise made more English
Surprised by the high number of immigrants from the UK. I was rooting for them to reach #1, even just for a moment, to see what music you would pick for them.
I was also assuming / hoping that they would tie or beat Germany even for a couple seconds in the first decade of the 1900s - for exactly that reason! So close! 😂
@@seansmith445Very true particularly English as they didn't feel welcome In the US after independence. In Australia the largest heritage by nationality is English followed by Irish and Scottish. Thankfully Australia (where I live) is now alot more diverse. An Anglo Celtic mono culture is quite boring. Great to see so many other cultures
@@Paddy234 My view is that we already live in a wonderfully multicultural world. Mixing everyone up will eventually destroy that diversity. We really don't need individual nations to become multicultural in themselves.
11 million Mexican born residents living in the USA + their children(us) citizens adding about 45 million plus 10,20 or even 30 million undocumented according to trump. That’s a lot ! Viva Mexico 🇲🇽
Outra coincidência bizarra sobre a colonização dos EUA com o Brasil é que suas respectivas comunidades (Irlandesa nos EUA e Italiana no Brasil) foi por causa de um período de grave fome e pobreza que ocorreram nesses países, interessante... 😮😮
Yes, but apparently not enough to show up in this infographic. In the years after WWII, Lithuanians appeared there for a short time (Lithuania is the largest of the Baltic states) - Lithuanian refugees who, after the gradual closure of refugee camps in Western Europe, scattered around the world, including entering the USA. In the same way, Latvians(Estonians too) also entered the USA after WWII, but we are a smaller nation, so we are not included in these statistics. Although there are Latvian communities in the US, they are not very large compared to other immigrant groups. It seems to me that the Finns did not want to leave their homeland so much after WWII, because they had preserved their independence and they did not have to fear reprisals.
Traditionally the heavy immigration to the US come from nations that are Effed up. They moved to the US to escape tyranny or something else. Currently most of Europe is stable and there is no need for mass immigration. Mexico and South American are not stable.
Actually the United States has restricted European immigration, and Europeans are still eager to immigrate to the United States.Europe has very little land, and they want more living space.
In this case, the only Latin countries that I see are the Central American ones. The only South American Latin country that I saw is Colombia (I am surprised that Venezuela is not there).
