With the level of immigration into the US increasing with time and in various forms and through various channels, it has become imperative for the Americans to make the national security measures all the more strict and strong. In this regard, the Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS), located within the Policy Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) maintains immigration statistics to monitor and assess the effects of immigration on the country's security. Some of the important statistical information on immigration to the US are: 1) Migration: Immigration and Emigration to the US by decade: 1901-90:

Emigration 1981-90, Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The above table shows the trend of immigration to and emigration from the USA, in the time period 1901-90. The table clearly shows that historically the US has been more popular a country for people to enter and stay rather than flee. The only exception has been the decade of 1930s when more people fled the country owing to the plight caused by the Great Depression. 2) Top ten sending countries as a percentage of the total inflow, by country of birth: 1986 Origin country Total Mexico Philippines Republic of Korea Cuba Viet Nam India Dominican Republic China (excluding Taiwan) Jamaica Iran (Islamic Republic of) All other countries

The above table (compared years are 1986, 1996, and 2004 as latest available) shows the pattern of immigration to the

US by various foreign nationals. While Mexico dominates the immigrant communities (despite various attempts being made by the American authorities by means of anti-immigration laws), India and China have a raised position in the latest figures of 2004 in terms of immigration, which clearly shows that these two countries are front-runners at the moment as far as immigration to the US is concerned. Other observations include: Iranians' reduced immigration after the 1980s after the US-Iran relation deteriorated, and Russians' increased immigration in the mid-1990s following the formal termination of the Cold War. 3) Foreign born as a percentage of the total population, 1990 and 1994 to 2005 Country United States

The 1850 United States census was the first federal U.S. census to query about the "nativity" of citizens—where they were born, either in the United States or outside of it—and is thus the first point at which solid statistics become available. From the U.S. Census [1], this chart shows the place of birth of the non-native population. Note that the same immigrant will be counted in each census during which they lived, so the numbers are of the cumulative number of living non-native citizens.
