  • What surprised you most about this information?
    The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that not all immigrants come to the United States because of the economic situation in the immigrant's countries. There are other factors such as health care, wars, etc. 

  •  What seemed quite obvious about explaining this data set?
    That the immigration rates have gone up and down throughout history.

  • Looking at the overall trend and incorporating what you know about the US presently, predict and defend the immigration trend for the next two decades.
    I think if till rise even more. Even though I really wish this didn't happen, it's gonna happen. The economic situation in the immigrant's countries is getting worse and worse, and this will force them to move. 

  • Describe how you made a decision on how to visually represent the information.
    We thought dipity.com was a really nice website to represent our information. It looks really nice and it was really easy to work with. 

  • What parts of group work were challenging?
    Doing the research. It was kind of hard to find factors for every decade. 

  • What would you do differently if you had this project to do over?
    I would pick another website and do more research.
