Facts On The Immigration In Chicago

By Elizabeth Smith


United State is a country that has no particular owner. It is made up of people who have come from different corners of the world like the Europeans, Latinos, and even Africans. Chicago seems to be the state that opted to take up the demographic outlook of the mother country. It is a state made up of immigrants as the majority and therefore issues of immigration in Chicago are the norm.

Being a metropolitan state, it is very clear that everything that happens within this state comes from somewhere foreign. The markets, the restaurants, and shops have unique things portraying the imported cultures. In schools, with children from all parts of the world, it is common to find that the different languages spoken by the student may sum up to a hundred.

It has been using these immigrants for a very long time now to create a stability of its demography. These immigrants regularly aid making the population grow steadily since they come in large numbers to an extent that they can replace the elderly aging natives, and even remnants are making the population grow.

The history of immigrants has not started recently it dates even before the two world wars when it was developing as a city. During this time the immigrants came as skilled workers mainly from Norway, Deutschland, and Sweden. By 1840, it was the 92nd populous city in the US. The number of immigrants kept on increasing such that twenty years later, it was the 9th populous city.

Being the largest percentage of the entire population, the immigrants have far influenced the cultural practices of the entire state. Pass time activities that are usually done especially in the evening are always conducted in a manner that reminds them of where they came from. The several museums that have been established in this area are aimed at educating visitors of this place about the origin, history and culture of these foreigners.

Chicagos economy cannot go anywhere without the input that comes from immigrants. It is a state where all kinds of labor are readily available ranging from skilled to non-skilled labor. The immigrants own the many businesses that are operational in most parts of this land. They even have been able to start and own many large firms in that area.

Despite all this good history, this nation is on the verge of losing the respect it has earned after a long time. There has been a negative population growth observed in this state something that has never happened in its history. Mexican immigrants who were the most have reduced drastically. In the last, for years more Mexican immigrants have gone away from this vicinity than those who have come in.

The main reason for this decline is the low birth rate which has created an aging population within the state. More so, the policy against illegal immigrants has dealt Chicago a major blow. Many of the Mexican immigrants who used to come here undocumented can no longer be able to make the population of this land at a jeopardy.
