Per. 3 1584- Sir Walter Raleigh sends ships to explore part of the east coast of America and establishes what he called "ia", named after the "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth, as a British claim.
1620- Immigration to New England begins with the migration of Pilgrims who establish Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts.
1718- The British Parliament prohibits immigration of skilled workers from the British Isles and the French found New Orleans as the capital of their vast and sparsely settled Louisiana colony.
1848- Approximately 4,000 Germans leave Germany because of political upheaval that sweeps through Central Europe.
1892- The INS opens an immigration screening station at Ellis Island.
1924- The quota system was changed in 1924 and was based on the desirability of various nationalities. For example, immigrants from northern and western Europe were consider much more desirable than those of southern and Eastern Europe and more adapt to "fit in." Consequently, countries like Great Britain, Germany, and Ireland were given generous quotas, while nations like Russia, the source of most Jewish immigrants, and Italy were cut back. Almost all Asian were excluded from the U.S.
1977- An amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act abolishes separate quotas for the western and eastern hemispheres changing the quota to 290,000 immigrants worldwide annually with a maximum of 20,000 for any one country.
This dates were important because, it was when people started emigrating from their countries to come here to the United States. Also immigration to New England began with the migration of Pilgrims who establish Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts.
