Answer 1

What are FOUR important immigration trends over the last 40 years?

Trend1: There were 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2017. These unauthorized immigrants increased more than three times in past 40 years.

Trend2: The U.S. civilian workforce includes 7.6 million unauthorized immigrants. In past 40 years it has increased more than 2 times.

Trend3: Six states account for 57% of unauthorized immigrants: California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey and Illinois.

Trend 4: A rising share of unauthorized immigrants have lived in the U.S. for more than a decade.

How have these changes contributed to increasing anti-immigrant sentiment among some in the U.S.?

These changes and trends have increased anti-immigrant sentiments among some US citizens because these immigrants who are unauthorized are creating additional burden on society in terms of resources, job facilities, health care etc. They are also involved in criminal activities.
