History of Modern Immigration
Immigration using papers, also known as modern immigration, began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Prior to this period, many countries had little or no formal immigration policies and people were free to move between countries without much regulation.
The United States was one of the first countries to establish a formal immigration system. In 1882, the U.S. government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was the first significant law restricting immigration into the country. This law required Chinese immigrants to obtain certification from the Chinese government before they could enter the United States.
Other countries soon followed suit, and by the early 20th century, many countries had established formal immigration systems and required immigrants to obtain various types of paperwork, such as visas and passports, in order to enter and stay in the country.
As for which countries are currently in high demand for immigration, it varies depending on a variety of factors such as economic opportunities, political stability, and quality of life. Some of the most commonly sought-after countries for immigration include the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and many countries in Europe. However, the specific countries that are in high demand can change over time as global circumstances evolve.
