The United States has a special role in migration as many immigrants have the USA as there first choice or "dream country". As about 80 million people have immigrated to the USA between 1820-2015 and 42 Million of those were still alive at the year of 2015. The United States has had 3 main eras of Migration:
1. Colonial settlement in the 17th and 18th century
2. Mass Europeans immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
3. Asian and Latin American immigration in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
The US has a lot of mass migrations, here are some examples in 1840s and 50s many Germans and Irish migrated to escape political unrest. Many migrated to US during WWII, more then 3/4's migrated from one of these two regions during the second world war, Latin America and Asia, most came from China, India, Vietnam and the Philippines
