I want you to look at migration patterns and numbers coming into the U.S. or what would become the

U.S. since the European colonization began in the 15 th century and follow it all the way up to today.

Start with European colonization time frame even though recent discoveries have found that the ancient

civilizations such as the Minoan’s and others may have been here thousands of years ago. How have the

migration numbers and patterns changed over time? Examine the numbers of people and where they

came from and for what reasons they came here, making sure to look at what proportion of the

population they represented at the time of migration. During the 89 th Congress President Lyndon

Johnson was able to get a bill through Congress and sign it into law that led to a major reform in

immigration law and greatly changed the immigration pattern. Consider all of the influences on

migration over time, why things changed, how they changed and how it all led up to where we are

today.The length is up to you but it must be very comprehensive

so don’t be worried if it seems too long.
