where did most of american immigrants come from
Quick Answer. According to a 2012 study by the Pew Research Center, most immigrants to the United States come from the Asia-Pacific and Latin America-Caribbean regions. The study showed an increase in immigrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East from 1992 to 2012 and a decrease in immigrants from Latin America, Europe and other parts of North America.
The history of immigration in the United States extends back to the earliest inhabitants who migrated from Asia. European exploration and settlement brought another wave of immigration, which has fluctuated greatly over the centuries.
