The state that has experienced a relatively large influx of Mexicans in recent decades and was featured in Immigrant Nation is Illinois.
Explanation:
The State of Illinois is one of the states that receives the most foreign immigrants throughout the United States. This is mainly because Chicago, the most important city in the state and the third most populous city in the nation after New York and Los Angeles, is one of the most important economic (and therefore labor) poles in the country.
According to statistics from the Census Bureau, 10% of the population of Illinois corresponds to descendants of Mexicans. In turn, 5% of the population of the state was born in Mexican territory. This situation increases in the Chicago Metropolitan Area, where 15% of the population is descended from Mexicans. Even in the city of Cicero, this percentage of descendants of Mexicans rises to 80%.
The Fugitive Slave Law (C) required that all states help slave owners catch their runaway slaves. This law required that if a slave were to escape to a northern state where there was no slavery that the person must be returned to their "owner" in the South.
the Constitution became the official framework of the government of the United States of America when New Hampshire became the ninth of 13 states to ratify it.
