Introduction:

Chinese immigration to the United States has had an extensive history and can be dated as far back as the middle of the ninetieth century. (Zai Liang, 2001) However, the recent wave of international migration from china has caught the attention of both China and the United States.

In my paper, I will provide a history of Chinese migration, as well as discuss incidents of irregular Chinese migration, its effects on the economic factor, effects on the social...
