Further Explanation:
During the period of 2000 to 2010, People who entered United States as immigrants were nationals of China, Mexico and India and around one million of them were naturalized citizens of United States in 2008. This is the country limit for USA and it is applied as the providing of same number of visas to all the countries regardless of their population. A study states that out of those 14 million people who entered United states as immigrant during this period were admitted to the country on the basis of the family ties which they had with people already living in the country, around 13% entered on the basis of their employment skills and around 17% were allowed entry to the United states on the basis of ‘Humanitarian Grounds’. Out of these 14 million people, around 8 million entered US between the period of 2000-2005 and out of them around 4 million people didn't even had any valid paper or proof to enter the country and that happened because back in year 1986, the then president of US, ‘<em>Ronald Reagan’ had signed an immigration</em> reform which gave immunity to around 3 million people to enter the country even if they were not having documents.
