mmigration is a recent development. While people have moved from place to place throughout their existence, spreading, in the first instance, from Africa throughout the globe, most of these relocations are not immigration. Immigration, by definition, presupposes the existence of nation states that have a desire and ability to control their borders [Torpey 2000]. Thus, when Europeans moved to the Americas in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries they were emigrating from their home countries and colonizing the Americas. They were not immigrating. Enslaved peoples have been transported against their will as recently as the mid-nineteenth century and even into modern nation states. This was not immigration either. Immigration refers to voluntary movement. Today when émigrés flee their home countries under duress, seeking freedom from political, religious, and racial persecution, it is better to think of their decision to flee as emigration since the term “immigration” is reserved to describe voluntary choice. Large-scale immigration therefore requires the world-wide development of effective constitutional guarantees of civil rights and personal liberties. As history vividly makes clear, large-scale immigration had to await improvements in income and reductions in transportation costs before such movement could be considered a possibility for more than a handful of the elite. For all these reasons, immigration could not have begun much earlier than the mid-nineteenth century.

Immigration is a central feature of the economic, social, and political history of the United States. It is arguably the defining feature. The United States is often called a “nation of immigrants” but this phrase should not be interpreted too literally. Since the U.S. Census Bureau began publishing statistics on the fraction of the population foreign-born in 1850, the foreign-born share has never exceeded 20 percent of the total (). Australia and Canada have long reported larger foreign-born shares than the United States. In addition, in the 1990s, many European countries achieved foreign-born shares that approach, and in some cases exceed, the U.S. levels [OECD 2001].

Still, the phrase “nation of immigrants” is a nice way of highlighting some distinctive and long-standing features of the American experience. From 1860 when statistics on the Native American population -- American Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts – were first published by the Census Bureau, their share has been less than one percent of the total, even though many of those enumerated as Native Americans are of mixed ancestry. The exception is Census 2000 where people who trace their heritage to the aboriginal population account for three percent of the total. See . Because most American Blacks are descendents of slaves who were brought to America against their will as part of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, few are descendents of immigrants. [Passel and Edmonston, 1994]. See tables , , and on the slave trade. Nonetheless, because the Black population has never been more than a fifth of the total it is still the case that the vast majority of Americans are either immigrants themselves or descended from immigrants.

Another reason to embrace the “nation of immigrants” label is that, over its history, the United States has absorbed more immigrants than any other all other nation – indeed, more than all of the immigrant-recipient nations combined. This is no small feat. Of the estimated 55 million immigrants who relocated during the hundred or so years preceding the 1920s, approximately 60 percent came to the United States. See and . Moreover, unlike Australia, where approximately four-fifths of immigrants came from Britain; and unlike Argentina, where more than three-quarters of immigrants came from Italy or Spain; the United States received immigrants from many different countries all around the world. Finally, the United States is one of only a handful of countries that has not experienced an extensive diaspora of its own people. See Mitchell [1980, 1983]. Estimates of emigration from the United States are shown in and . These numbers are small relative to those of other countries. Scholars suggest that most of these were recently arrived from another country so that their “emigration” is best thought of as a return to their native land [Baines 1995].

The pace and pattern of international migration to the United States, the experience of immigrants in the United States, and the impact of immigrants on the growth and development of the American economy have all been subjects of large scholarly literatures over the years. Key works of synthesis include Bailyn [1986] for the colonial period, Jones [1960] for the period through 1924; Bodnar [1985] for the period 1830 to 1930, Hatton and Williamson [1998] for 1850 through World War I, and Archdeacon [1983] to 1980.

Immigrants, Emigrants, and Net Migration: The Statistical Record

The first systematic collection of data on immigration to the United States was begun in 1819 and the official estimates of annual immigration are presented in Series and . For immigration history of the earlier period see and . In the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries the official immigrant series reveals strong cycles with successively higher peaks until the disruption of the First World War from 1915 through 1919. After the war there was a brief recovery followed by a sharp decline in the mid-twenties and a virtual cessation during the 1930s. Beginning about 1950, there is a more-or-less smooth increase in the numbers over the last half of the twentieth century, except for a sharp spike in the early 1990s, reflecting legalizations authorized by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), which we discuss in detail below. At the end of the twentieth century, the number of immigrants admitted annually (excluding the IRCA legalizations) approximate those of peak years in the late-nineteenth century. Of course, the United States was a much larger country at the end of the twentieth century than it was a hundred years earlier. To put the immigrant flows into perspective, we divide the number of immigrants by the size of the resident population and present the result as Figure . This calculation reveals that, in proportionate terms, the current inflow of immigrants is rather modest by historical standards. If we omit the IRCA legalizations, then the late-twentieth century flows are comparable to those in the slowest years from the period between 1840 and the onset of World War I.

[Figures and here.]

Still another way to think about the size of the immigrant flows is to calculate the contribution of net immigration to American population growth. We do this in Tables and and present the results in Figure . During the period of mass immigration preceding World War I, immigration accounted for somewhere between a third and a half of U.S. population growth. At the end of the twentieth century immigration again accounts for about a third of that growth, despite the fact that the number of arriving immigrants is smaller and the base population is larger today than it was in the decades immediately preceding World War I. The reason for the relatively large contribution of immigration to American population growth today is that the rate of natural increase (births minus deaths) is low.

[Figure here.]

Scholars divide the history of international migration to the United States into three phases. The first was an era of mass, largely unregulated migration that began in 1815, just before statistics were first collected and proceeded, with enormous year-to-year variation, until the imposition of stringent numerical restrictions in the 1920s. The beginning year, 1815, witnessed the end of the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States, the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the beginning of massive economic, social, and political upheavals throughout the European continent. First in England, Scotland, and Ireland, then moving east into Scandinavia and Germany and then south and east into Spain, Italy, Eastern Europe, and Russia, traditional agricultural economies became market – and in some cases industrial – economies. The Industrial Revolution displaced handicraft industries, throwing artisans out of work. Commercial farming displaced self-sufficient agriculture reducing the demand for labor in rural areas. The period was one of rapid population growth and this meant that the contraction in employment opportunities coincided with an unprecedented surge in the number of young people looking for work. By contrast, in America and other New World countries, jobs were plentiful, wages high, and land cheap. The Constitution guaranteed individual liberties and religious tolerance. It is no wonder that emigration proved so attractive to so many.

Between 1815 and 1924, an estimated 55 million people left Europe to make their homes in the new world countries of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States . The United States was the premier destination country and it received more immigrants than all the other destination countries combined . The United States offered economic opportunities and for most of the period it placed relatively few restrictions on immigrant entry.

The immigrant flows to the United States during this first period of relatively open borders display two distinct features. One is long-term growth. From 1820 through 1914 and the outbreak of the First World War, the number of immigrants arriving in the United States in each successive decade is generally larger than in the previous one. Equally remarkable is the volatility, that is, the sharp peaks and troughs in the annual flows. These peaks and troughs correspond to economic and political developments in both the United States and in sending countries. Good economic conditions in the United States attracted immigrants while depressions repelled them, or at least led migrants to postpone their departure for America. Thus, years of economic prosperity are years of high immigration flows and vice versa. Wars, both in the United States and abroad, dampened the flow of migrants across international borders.

The second phase covers the period when the National Origins Quota Act was in effect from 1924 through 1965. This Act severely limited the number of immigrants and restricted their admission to countries with low levels of out-migration. Passage of this Act had a major impact on the magnitude and character of the subsequent immigrant flows. As Figure shows, this was a period of historically low levels of immigration. The 1920s through the 1940s were also a time of retreat from international integration on many other fronts, including more restricted flows of capital, reductions in the volume of international trade, and, of course, the Second World War. See . It was a period of tremendous internal migration within the United States, as Blacks moved out of the South and into Northern industrial cities; as farmers moved off the farm and into cities in the 1920s and then back to the farm again in the Great Depression of the 1930s; and as the population moved to the West, especially to California. Immigration policy became an arm of foreign policy as the United States gave high priority to political asylees, especially those fleeing the Nazis during the 1930s and those fleeing Communist countries after the onset of the Cold War. It was a period during which many distinguished scientists and engineers left Europe and came to the United States to live and work. Another important development begun during the Second World War and continued into the 1950s and 1960s, was the creation of a large migrant agricultural labor force that moved between Mexico and the United States. Data on those engaged in this work during the war years are not available, but the number participating in the 1950s and through 1964 is included in and constitutes most of the nonimmigrants reported in that series. During the peak years of this Braceros Program in the late 1950s, almost half a million people entered the country under its auspices – more than the number who entered as immigrants during these years. See Figure .

A Note About Sources of Immigration Statistics

The primary source for quantitative measures of trends in immigration to the United States is data collected by the federal office now known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, located in the U.S. Department of Justice. The collection of data on immigrants was begun following passage of the Act of March 2,1819, which required the captain or master of a vessel arriving from abroad to deliver to the local collector of customs a list or manifest of all passengers taken on board. This original reporting requirement included a call for information on the age, sex, and occupation of each passenger, "the country to which they severally belonged," and the number that had died on the voyage. Copies of these manifests were to be transmitted to the Secretary of State, who was to report the information to Congress “at each and every session”. Subsequently, the Act of 1855 prescribed that the Secretary of State report annually to Congress. Later acts expanded the range of data to be collected. Currently these data are collected, tabulated and published by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in its Statistical Yearbook. While the INS makes some effort to present continuous time series on various measures, the results are uneven. Important compilations of historical series relating to immigration include Bromwell [1856], U.S. Bureau of the Census [1975] and Hutchinson [1958 and 1981]. Hutchinson prepared the chapter entitled “International Migration and Naturalization,” in Bureau of the Census [1975]. For two recent evaluations of the official statistics on immigration see Levine, Hill and Warren [1985] and Edmonston [1996]. Many of the statistics presented here update those that appear in U.S. Bureau of the Census [1975]. Table includes a detailed description of the underlying sources. For most of these series the updating process required an examination of each of the Statistical Yearbooks of the INS published since 1970. In some cases--for example, "country of last residence"--we offer more detail than Hutchinson so as to better reflect the increasing importance of, and diversity within, immigration from Latin America and Asia since 1970. More detailed data in the form of microdata are available from the National Technical Information Service, through which the INS also distributes public use datasets. Such datasets contain demographic information on each individual immigrant, the only major exception being those legalized under the IRCA legislation.

Though the number of immigrants is presented as a continuous series from 1820 to 1998, the underlying definition of “immigrant” has changed over time with numerous year-to-year changes that are documented in the footnotes to Table . There were three major conceptual shifts. From the beginning of the data collection process in1820 and continuing through 1904, the data represent primarily, the tabulations of reports by ship captains who were required to provide a list, or manifest, of all passengers taken on board. The lists included passengers coming for brief stays as well as those who planned to settle permanently in the United States. The systematic reporting of persons who crossed into the United States over land borders with Canada and Mexico was begun in 1904 and was largely complete by 1908. It has been continued to the present. In 1906, arriving aliens were divided into two classes. “Immigrants” were defined as those who declared their intention to settle in the United States. “Nonimmigrants” were defined as aliens who stated that they did not intend to settle in the United States and also those aliens who were returning to their homes in the United States after a brief visit to their home country. In 1933, the definition of immigrants and nonimmigrants was changed to pertain not to physical movement, but to legal status. “Immigrant” was redefined as an alien accepted for legal permanent resident status. The shift in definition away from an emphasis on the geographic and toward an emphasis on the legal transition has a profound effect on the meaning of immigration data. Admission as an immigrant may occur upon arrival into the United States, but it may also take place many years after a person has begun living in the United States. For example the IRCA legalizations did not represent the movement of individuals into the United States, but rather the adjustment of the status of people who had been living in the country for some time.

The primary source for statistical information on the foreign-born population of the United States is the decennial Census conducted by the Federal Government. Beginning in 1850 and continuing through 2000, the Census asked respondents to report their country of birth. For the years 1880 through 1970, the Census also inquired about the country of birth of the respondent’s parents. Recently, microdata samples from the manuscripts of the federal censuses have been put into electronic format and made available to the public as the Public Use Microdata Series (PUMS). To facilitate the public’s use of the PUMS data for the analysis of time trends, Ruggles and Sobek have standardized the coding of many PUMS variables, including the coding of country of birth, to create the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS). See Ruggles and Sobek [1997] and the note on IPUMS data in the backmatter of this book.

Two important data collection efforts that attempted to document characteristics of immigrants during the period of mass immigration around the turn of the 20th century deserve comment. One important source of systematic, quantitative evidence on the foreign-born population was collected in a series of surveys of working-class households in the late-nineteenth century that were motivated by an effort to better understand the cause of the social unrest that immigration seemed to prompt. Carroll D. Wright (1840-1909), the leader of this effort, began his work as Commissioner of the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics and within a short space of time was appointed Commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Labor where he organized and supervised large-scale studies of native- and foreign-born working class families. These studies inspired labor commissioners in other states to conduct similar studies in the half-century that followed. For a description of this project see Carter, Ransom and Sutch [1991]. For an annotated bibliography of these surveys see Williams and Zimmerman [1935]. A second important source of information on immigrants and their characteristics is the 42-volume report of the U.S. Immigration Commission of 1911, also known as the Dillingham Commission Report. See United States Congress. Senate [1911].

Many countries around the world collect and publish data on immigration and emigration. An authoritative and influential compilation of such statistics through 1924 is Ferenczi and Willcox [1929]. Tables and display summary statistics from this source. For the late twentieth century immigration data from many different countries are collected and published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [2001]. An impressive survey of international migration from 95 separate perspectives is Cohen [1995].
