The Jewish immigration history America started in 1860. In this year 200,000 German Jews immigrated to USA. From 1882 to 1914, 2 million Jews immigrated from eastern Europe to USA. The Jewish immigration in the years 1882-1914 changed the Jews history. It created new Jewish centers, decreased the Jewish numbers in Europe and made new religious-culture trends in the Jewish people.
Some Jews didn't want to immigrate. The orthodox Jews were afraid that they will not be able to remain Jews and they will not be able to eat kosher food. Many Jews thought that they must stay in Russia and fight for their rights. Others thought that they betray they homeland Russia. Most of the Jews were for the immigration. Even the educated Jews, that first were against the immigration, joined and immigrated to USA.

OTHER IMMIGRANTS IN THE USA by Roman Mukhordykh

From 1861 to 1915 from the Russian Empire had left about 4.6 million, of which approximately 40-45% moved to the United States. According to U.S. Census 1910, America's population 1.7 million immigrants from Russia. According to various estimates, from 1910 to 1917, the first in the United States resettled more than 300 thousand Russian citizens. However, about 80% of immigrants were Jews, Poles, Germans, Finns, Ukrainians. Strictly on the Russian themselves accounted for only 20% of the migration, or about 350-400 thousand people.
The difference is colossal. I have studied immigrants 1970-1980. These people were leaving forever, so they tore up the personal ties with Russia. Yes, there were those who left the Soviet family, there were some relationships, but these people have built their lives on that will live in the U.S.. That is, the more value they have given to acculturation. They laid emphasis on learning English, to work on the cultural life and to ensure that their children were as much as possible tightly integrated into American society.
People who came to the U.S. after the Soviet collapse, enormously different from previous waves of immigrants. They keep a tight relationship with Russia. Quite often they say "home," referring to Russia. They regularly travel to Russia, signed in the Russian press, watch Russian television, on some lively meetings to discuss political life in Russia, are interested in the election results, etc. They are making investments in Russia, bought it home ... Too many take their children to nurseries and kindergartens where instruction is in Russian only. I know many children who have additional learning mathematics at the Russian teachers, because many Russian believe that the United States this is a big problem. This wave of emigrants go to concerts, touring Russian artists, watching Russian movies and soap operas, etc. In general, they are much more interested in cultural, political and economic life in Russia

I have arrived to America from Russia. Therefore I can write about Russian emigration. The first significant wave emigrants was 1917 after revolution. Among the first Russian эмигранто there were many talented people left a significant trace in the American culture and the industry. Among them were Sikorsky (helicopters and planes), Gershwin (opera Porgy and Bess), Chekhov, Rakhmaninov, Nabokov, Bunin, Walked, Brodsky and many other things.

Indian immigrants  community in newjersy

they called “little india”

"Little India" -- Newark Avenue between Kennedy Boulevard and Tonnelle Avenue -- is the center of gravity for Jersey City's vibrant Indian community. It's only a couple of blocks from the Journal Square PATH subway station.

A number of grocery, video, electronics, jewelry, and clothing stores supply the needs of the immigrant community. Here's a great place to gift-shop for an Indian friend or just to get something different and special.

The restaurants reflect India's ancient and sophisticated cuisine. The dishes are nearly all vegetarian. Atmospheres range from fast-food to formal. In every case, prices are a bargain. Indian food traditionally is extremely spicy. If your tastes tend to the bland, ask the waiter for advice.

Other Immigrants by Moulaye

Immigration to the United States has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States. The economic, social, and political aspects of immigration have caused controversy regarding ethnicity, economic benefits, jobs for non-immigrants, settlement patterns, impact on upward social mobility, crime, and voting behavior. As of 2006, the United States accepts more legal immigrants as permanent residents than all other countries in the world combined. Since the liberalization of immigration policy in 1965, the number of first- generation immigrants living in the United States has quadrupled, from 9.6 million in 1970 to about 38 million in 2007. 1,046,539 persons were naturalized as U.S. citizens in 2008. The leading emigrating countries to the United States were Mexico, India, the Philippines, and China.
While an influx of new residents from different cultures presents some challenges, "the United States has always been energized by its immigrant populations," said President Bill Clinton in 1998. "America has constantly drawn strength and spirit from wave after wave of immigrants [...] They have proved to be the most restless, the most adventurous, the most innovative, the most industrious of people." Cheap airline travel post-1960 facilitated travel to the United States, but migration remains difficult, expensive, and dangerous for those who cross the United States–Mexico border illegally.

Inmigrant Comunities Brazilian's in Boston

    Massachusetts also might offer a more welcoming enviroment for immigrants than other states. It is mosts likely that immigrants like anyone else stayed in Massachusets, because they could find work, said director of center for labor market studies. If it weren't for immigrants,Massachusetts would have lost population in the past decade.

    To be sure,the number of people in Massachusetts who said they were born in Brazil has declined in the years preceding the new 2008 tally from an estimated 75,000 in 2006 to nearly 64,000 in 2007. Immigrants returned to Brazil but not in the huge numbers that some belive,partty because Brazil's economy is not as strong in their hometown.And some Brazilians moved to others states. It may be next year's data we get different picture of what's happening.

SIGNIFICANT IMMIGRATION WAVES by Marcel Cassiano

 

     In recent years the Brazilians Immigrants will represent large increase in its population in the USA. Several factors contribute to this phenomenon are they Social factors, cultural and economic ... the relentless search for happiness often associated with professional success and later economic.

    The immigration of Brazilians to the U.S. is basically the hope for change!

Some sources claim that the earliest immigrants from Brazil to the United States were probably eight Jewish Brazilians who entered the country in 1654. But Brazilian American immigration information is not very reliable; the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service did not tabulate Brazilians as a separate group entering the States until 1960. Before that, Brazilians were counted in a group that included all South Americans. It is known that between 1820 and 1960, 234,761 people of South American descent entered the United States, with peak waves of South American immigrants entering from 1841 to 1850 and 1911 to 1930. It is impossible to tell how many of these South Americans were actually from Brazil. According to the 1960 U.S. Census Bureau report, however, 27,885 people of Brazilian ancestry were living in the United States.
From 1960 until the mid-1980s, there was a relatively even pattern of Brazilian immigration to the United States; estimates suggest that between 1,500 and 2,300 Brazilians immigrated each year, mainly from southern and south-central Brazil, including the states of Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. The majority of these immigrants were of European heritage and came from the middle- and upper-middle-classes of Brazilian society.
During the mid-1980s, Brazil's economy began to deteriorate rapidly; in 1990 inflation reached 1,795 percent annually. Despite the economic reforms of President Collor de Mello, incomes continued to drop by nearly 30 percent, and many Brazilians lost faith in their government. The Brazilian government estimates that between 1986 and 1990, 1.4 million Brazilians left the country permanently—many of them immigrating to the United States, others heading for Japan and various countries in South America and Europe.
According to Maxine Margolis in Little Brazil: An Ethnography of Brazilian Immigrants in New York City, Brazilian immigration to the United States did not begin on a significant scale until the mid-1980s. Between 1987 and 1991, 20,800 Brazilians immigrated to America; however, 8,133 Brazilians entered the country in 1991 alone. Again, the majority of these immigrants were middle- or upper-middle-class members of Brazilian society, and most of them came from southern or south-central Brazil. The 1990 U.S. Census Bureau report indicates that there are about 60,000 Brazilians living and working in the United States, but because Brazilian Americans were only counted in the census if they wrote "Brazilian" in the "Other Hispanic" category— Brazilians are not Hispanic—this number is most likely too small. Other sources suggest that there are approximately 100,000 Brazilians, documented and undocumented, living in the New York area alone. In addition, there are sizable Brazilian communities in Boston, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Miami, and Phoenix.
As Brazil's economic conditions worsened, the American consulate found that many more Brazilians wanted to immigrate to the United States than quotas legally allowed. Consequently, since the mid-1980s, a significant percentage of all Brazilian immigration to the United States has been illegal. The most common way for Brazilians to illegally enter the United States is to overstay a tourist visa, fade into established Brazilian communities, and obtain low-skill, low-wage work. A riskier method of gaining entry is with "doctored" or fake passports and/or green cards. A number of professional immigration services—legitimate and otherwise—operate in both the United States and Brazil to assist those wishing to come to America. Some Brazilians enter the United States on their own via the Mexican border, but this is extremely time-consuming, dangerous, and expensive. Undocumented persons make up a large percentage of the Brazilian population in the United States, thereby skewing census and immigration data. Margolis notes that there may be as many as 350,000 Brazilians living in the United States without proper documentation.
