This is one city that has taken up the population accumulation of the entire nation. It is made up of many immigrants. The demography of this state has immigrants filling up the largest percentage thus the reason for numerous cases of immigration in Chicago.

Everything that one comes across in this state is a significance of the imported culture shared by the majority. The foods in the restaurants, the items sold in these markets and shop are all a sign of one culture that is not of American history. The most interesting place is the school where one can count up to a hundred spoken languages by the students. This makes the land indeed a modern state.

For a long time now the high number of immigrants in this land has played a crucial role in ensuring that the population of this state is always at equilibrium. The large number of foreigners coming is enough to take the place of the dying natives and even ensure that the population keeps on increasing.

The history of immigrants in this land dates back in the 18s where Chicago was developing as a city. Most of the immigrants especially from Germany, Sweden and England, came as skilled labor for this developing city. By 1840 Chicago was position 92 as the city with the largest population in America. Two decades later, the number of immigrants had increased and was now position nine nationwide.

Being the largest percentage of the entire population, the immigrants have far influenced the cultural practices of the entire state. Pass time activities that are usually done especially in the evening are always conducted in a manner that reminds them of where they came from. The several museums that have been established in this area are aimed at educating visitors of this place about the origin, history and culture of these foreigners.

More so, the economy of this state cannot be where it is now if not for the input of these immigrants. These immigrants have been the source of labor in this country. In fact, most of them come to this state seeking greener pastures. Those running businesses around are mainly the immigrants. It is not a surprise to say that the foreigners own most of the firms around.

Despite all this good history, this nation is on the verge of losing the respect it has earned after a long time. There has been a negative population growth observed in this state something that has never happened in its history. Mexican immigrants who were the most have reduced drastically. In the last, for years more Mexican immigrants have gone away from this vicinity than those who have come in.

The main reason for this decline is the low birth rate which has created an aging population within the state. More so, the policy against illegal immigrants has dealt Chicago a major blow. Many of the Mexican immigrants who used to come here undocumented can no longer be able to make the population of this land at a jeopardy.
