packet about immigrants

Today in Human Geo, we talked about upcoming events and received a new packet that we were instructed to read in class. I found that I enjoyed reading the packet out loud, like last time, instead of everyone reading it on their own. We all read the packet and took notes on what we thought was important. I learned that the UN classifies countries to 4 types of immigration policies. These four policies are maintaining immigration levels, increasing levels, reducing levels, and no policy. I read that unauthorized immigrants are people entering a country without proper documents that are needed. A lot of this unrestricted immigration ended in 1921 when the Quota Ac was passed. These laws established maximum limits to the amount of immigrants. The immigrant percentages now are 8% in Europe, 13% in the United States of America, and 21% in Canada. I was surprised to see that Canada had a higher percentage than US, but I believe it is because the USA has a bordered fence around it while Canada doesn't.
