Countries that immigrants come from and sates where they go.

Legal immigrants to the U.S. mainly come from Latin America and Asia. The vast majority of illegal immigrants come from Mexico and Central America. Previously in 1970, most immigrants came from Europe. In the early 20th century, Asians were specifically excluded by legislation. Moreover, a "quota" system, in result
during much of the 20th century restricted immigration was gave special treatment to European immigrants.
Legal immigrants tend to choose the large population states as their state of preference. California, New York, Texas and Florida have the largest percentages of illegal immigrants but, in contrast to 1990, this immigration has now spread throughout the country.
