With the presidential elections in the US and Middle East crisis in Europe and Africa, immigration remains a hot topic. Max Galka who recently visualized*10 years of fatal traffic accidents*decided to take a look at data from the US Office of Immigration Statistics and he created a new visualization.
His latest*map shows two centuries of immigration to the U.S. reminding everyone that *‘the US is a nation of immigrants’. The visualisation shows the history of emigration of 79 million people who*obtained lawful permanent resident status in the US between 1820 and 2013. The map*visualizes all of them based on their prior country of residence.
