The Hispanic Immigration to The U.S. 2020-2021
The southwest part of the U.S. is one of the fastest-growing population regions among the other states. One of the issues that the southwest part is suffering from is drought due to the high, increasing rate of the population. The reasons behind the increasing number of immigrants are various and multifaceted. Expulsions are one of the contributing factors. Within the past two years, the Corona-virus epidemic has had an enormous impact on immigration. Starting March 2020, Trump was expelling migrants, claiming that doing so helps reduce the spread of the virus; and when President Biden came to office, he continued on his path but to a lesser extent than Trump.
“We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of the things that divide and to make sure of the things that unite.”
- President Woodrow Wilson
The Rapid Growth in The Hispanic Population
This migration depends mainly because these migrants are repeat crossers. In 2019 the crossers were significantly lower than the previous years. The Border Patrol started regularly expelling migrants during the peak of the virus spreading. However, in the past few years, the southwest border of the U.S. accomplished the most migrant by 97%. It was expected from Mexico to be the country with most migrants; surprisingly, in 2020, people from other countries were more than Mexicans. Northern Triangle countries for Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador were the most migrant apart from Mexicans which 42% in total compared to the other migrant countries. |
Ecuador, Brazil, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, and Cuba were unusual migrant countries. Single adults were the majority of the migrants by 64%, the family unit took the second position, and then the unaccompanied children took the third place. The most significant increase in Rio Grande Valley was 549,077 in 2021. About 66% of all immigrants ended in expulsion from April 2020 until 2021. Since 2000 immigrants have had the highest peak at spring but in 2013, this pattern has changed for the rise to be at March; however, in 2021, July has the highest peak exceeding March's record. |
