First of all, the history of immigration is an important point to look at when deciding what is good and bad for the country. Immigration rates have fluctuated dramatically over the years. At the turn of the century though there were nearly 1,000,000 newcomers to the United States. Then in 1940 the rate was at a low stage with only 100,000 immigrants coming into the country but it would not stay at this low point. At present day we are nearing back to the 1,000,000 point again. The average over the years has been about 200,000 to 300,000 immigrants into the country every year.
