Final answer:
The correct answer is option 3. New Hampshire is the state where the country of origin for its largest immigrant population remained unchanged between 1910 and 2013, continuing to be Canada. While immigration trends in the U.S. have shifted towards Latin America and Asia, some states like New Hampshire have maintained consistent immigration sources.
Step-by-step explanation:
Between 1910 and 2013, the state where the country of origin for the largest immigrant population remained unchanged is New Hampshire. In both 1910 and 2013, the dominant immigrant group hailed from Canada. This is reflective of broader immigration trends in the United States, where European immigration was more common in the early 20th century, but where, starting from the late 20th century throughout the early 21st century, we’ve seen an increase in immigration from Latin American and Asian countries. This trend affected states differently, with places like Florida and Arizona seeing shifts in their largest immigrant populations from European countries to Latin American countries, largely due to geographical proximity and historical migration patterns.
It is important to note that worldwide migration patterns have significantly shifted over the years. The Pew Research Center shows that the immigrant population in the U.S increased dramatically, with a huge percentage originating from Latin America and the Caribbean. However, in more recent years, there has been an increase in immigration from Asian countries as well, surpassing Latin American countries in some instances. Such changes, however, did not alter the top country of origin for immigrants in some states like New Hampshire, which maintained a consistent source of its largest immigrant population over a century.
