Immigration has a long history throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Tens of thousands of immigrants arrive to North America every day from countries around the globe. But the first immigrants likely arrived on the continent more than ten thousand years ago. Throughout time, many different legislative and social attitudes have impacted immigrants, and immigration continues to be one of the most widespread debates around.

Embark on a journey through North American immigration history in Crossing Borders. Discover who immigrates to North America, their motivations for moving, the challenges they face, and their profound impact on their communities. No matter where they move, immigrants help shape the history and future of their new homes.
