I took an US #immigration class in grad school and here are four of the major takeaways that have stuck with me:
* The people who come from 1-4th generation immigrants tend to be more opposed to immigration. The longer the family line in the US, the more open tending to immigration
* Most immigrants are skilled workers
* Most people who are here illegally arrived legally and overstayed their visa
* Many immigrate to places that previously occupied or were at war with the country they emigrate
