Migration from the Americas to the US 1820-1957, by region

In the nineteenth century, the majority of documented migration from other areas of the Americas to the United States was primarily migration from the British colonies in Canada and Newfoundland, as the economic opportunities in the United States were much greater than those to the north. Migration around the turn of the century was slow, as migration from Canada decreased, as well as migration from across the world. Migration from the Americas gradually increased again at the beginning of the twentieth century, peaking in 1924, which saw record numbers of migrants arriving from all three regions. Migration fell again following the Great Depression, however it increased again towards the middle of the century, particularly from Mexico.

在十九世纪，记载于案的从美洲其他地区向美国的移民活动，主要源自加拿大及纽芬兰的英国殖民地，因其相较于北方，美国提供了更为丰厚的经济机遇。进入世纪之交，移民活动步伐放缓，加拿大移民数量减少，全球范围内的移民活动亦然。进入二十世纪初期，美洲向美国的移民活动逐渐恢复增长，于1924年达到峰值，当年来自三个地区的移民人数创下历史新高。然而，在大萧条之后，移民活动再次下降，但到了世纪中叶，尤其是来自墨西哥的移民数量有所增加。
