In the following posts i'm going to be adding more contents from other sites so that my readers can get some information about some of the history about immigration. The article from the History channel brings some general information about immigration since 1965 http://www.history.com/topics/us-immigration-since-1965 . I find it really interesting how through out the history of the United States, the composition of the immigrants has changed so much. In early US history it was mostly white colonists coming to the country and now the article states that by 2042 the  non-white population will be the majority. Like I mentioned before the site only has general information but if you want a detailed history you can check out http://immigration.procon.org/view.timeline.php?timelineID=000023 . I really liked the site, it is really detailed and it starts from 1607 up until last year 2014. I find it interesting how there have been some acts that were discriminatory against certain peoples like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
