Read the passage.
In the year 1900, a large percentage of Americans had been born outside the country—8,881,548 were born in Europe, 120,248 in Asia, 2,538 in Africa, and 137,840 in Latin America. Immigration had increased by 1930, when 11,784,010 residents had been born in Europe, 275,665 in Asia, 18,326 in Africa, and 791,840 in Latin America.
By 1990, the world had changed. Due to changes in immigration laws, as well as peace and prosperity in Europe, fewer residents came from Europe. In fact, 4,350,403 residents were born in Europe, 4,979,037 in Asia, 363,819 in Africa, and 8,407,837 in Latin America.
