Abstract
This article narrated the history of American immigrants. American immigration history can be viewed in four epochs: the colonial period, the mid-nineteenth century, the turn of the twentieth, and post-1965. Each epoch brought distinct national groups, races, and ethnicities to the United States. During the seventeenth century, approximately 175,000 Englishmen migrated to Colonial America. Over half of all European immigrants to Colonial America during the 17th and 18th centuries arrived as indentured servants. The mid-nineteenth century saw mainly an influx from northern Europe; the early twentieth-century mainly from Southern and Eastern Europe; post-1965 mostly from Latin America and Asia.

American Immigrants
1. Introduction
Tens of millions of immigrants over four centuries have made the United States what it is today. They came to make new lives and livelihoods in the New World; their hard work benefited themselves and their new home country.
Discoveries made by various anthropologists of human remains over the past few decades provide evidence that long before Ellis Island opened its doors to welcome those seeking political and religious freedom as well as the "adventurer, the wanderer, the persecuted, the fortune seekers, and others" America was a kaleidoscope of ethnic and cultural groups! Thus, the history of US immigration spans a long period of migration of many different peoples from various parts of the world. One common belief is that America was originally peopled by wanderers from Northeast Asia about 20,000 years ago. These wanderers were believed by some to be the founding population of today's Native Americans. Others believe that the first Americans came from Polynesia, South Asia or even Europe.错误！未找到引用源。

The history of immigration to the United States is a continuing story of peoples from more populated continents, particularly Europe and also Africa and Asia, crossing oceans to the new land. Unlike Eurasia, North and South America were major continents which had not been settled by humans until perhaps 15,000 years ago. The first indigenous settlers most likely crossed from Asia over the Beringia land bridge between present-day Russia and Alaska, and these people became the Indian-Americans who settled throughout the area which later became the United States. Several centuries ago, Europeans settled primarily on the east coast, and Africans were brought as slaves to work on plantations in the southeastern regions. During the nation's history, the growing country experienced successive waves of immigration which rose and fell over time, particularly from Western Europe, with the cost of transoceanic transportation sometimes paid by travelers becoming indentured servants after their arrival in the New World. At other times, immigration rules became more restrictive. With the advent of air travel in the middle of the twentieth century, as well as other transportation options, immigration has increased from various parts of the world, although issues such as immigration continue to be contentious in the political sphere. Data regarding inflows of people has become more precise and voluminous and computer-driven, as information from census counts has chronicled these migrations in greater detail and specificity.
