USA case study (bilateral flow between ACs)
Specification: 3
...
Global migration creates opportunities and challenges which
reflect the unequal power relations between countries
...

● The US has a strong influence on global migration
...
3 million immigrants living in the USA (13% of the total
population)
...

● These 9 nationalities are: Mexico, India, China, Puerto Rico, The Philippines,
Vietnam, El Salvador, Cuba and South Korea
...
This includes orphans adopted by
Americans
...
g
...
This is
called family reunification
...

● Many people arriving in the US are economic migrants - businesses have to
apply to be able to hire an immigrant and offer them a job before the potential
immigrant can start applying for a visa
...

● Immigrants are grouped into several categories:

...
g
...
These people do not need to have a job offer
...
A subcategory
of this includes people with advanced degrees (e
...
PhD’s)
...
People who are skilled, unskilled or professionals
...
Miscellaneous people including broadcasters and Afghans who
assisted the US military
...
People who have invested at least $1 million USD in an American
business
...
Therefore, the more
educated you are, the more likely you are to receive a visa
...


● Similarly, there are limits on how many refugees can come to the US each
year and where they come from
...

● However, Trump signed an executive order which stopped all refugees for
120 days
...
Trump also cut the refugee quota
from 110,000 per year to 50,000
...

The was implemented only 4 hours after it was made public
...
g
...

● Finally, there is a lottery for immigrants - called the Diversity Immigrant Visa
Programme - in which 50,000 people are randomly selected each year
...
However, immigrants in this
category still need to have a sufficient education and work experience
...

● About ¼ of all young people (under 18s) living in the US are the children of
immigrants
...
Since 2009,
the number of undocumented migrants arriving from Mexico has decreased
and now more arrive from Central America, Africa and Asia
