5 Countries With Highest Immigration To U.S.

4. Philippines

Total number of immigrants in the U.S.: 1,982,434

The Philippines being among the countries with the most immigrants to the U.S. may seem strange, but this history began after the Spanish-American War in 1898 resulted in the U.S. acquiring Philippines. A significant number of immigrants worked in Hawaii in plantations before moving to the mainland, and hence, the tradition of immigration between the two countries grew.
