    MORE AFRICANS ENTERED US IN LAST DECADE THAN DURING 300 YEARS OF SLAVE TRADE

    REPORT: MORE AFRICANS ENTERED US IN LAST DECADE THAN DURING 300 YEARS OF SLAVE TRADE

    More people from Africa have entered the United States in the last decade than were forced to come to America during "more than three centuries of the slave trade."

    According to the New York Times, "between 2000 and 2010, the number of legal black African immigrants in the United States about doubled, to around one million," and "more black Africans arrived in this country on their own than were imported directly to North America during the more than three centuries of the slave trade."

    These large migrations have increased concerns about the entry of African immigrants into the U.S., since the deadly Ebola epidemic has ravaged the western part of the continent.


    New York is "
    home to the largest proportion" of African immigrants and "about a third of black New Yorkers were born abroad, mostly in the Caribbean."

    The Times noted that "Africans constitute about 4 percent of the city’s foreign-born population, but as much as 10 percent in the Bronx," and, "from 2000 to 2011 the African-born population increased 39 percent to 128,000." But "other estimates suggest that many more are living" in New York and America by having overstayed their visas or entered illegally.


    Kim Nichols, an executive director of the African Services Committee, told the Times that African immigrants have "been doubling every 10 years since 1980."
    African immigrants have also gone to "California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Texas and Virginia."


    According to
    Kevin D. Brown, a law professor at Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law, "many black immigrants do not identify with the historical experiences of discrimination encountered by blacks in the United States." As a result, protest leaders like Al Sharpton are less likely to influence them.

    African immigrant population doubling each decade; D.C. area among group’s top destinations

    Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated the dominate countries of origin for the D.C. region’s African-born population .This version has been corrected.

    The number of African-born residents in the United States has doubled every decade since the 1970s, with the greater Washington region among the most popular areas for them to live, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Wednesday.


    The African immigrant population has growing rapidly in the past 40 years, reaching about 1.6 million nationwide, and the heaviest growth has occurred in the past decade, the federal agency reported. It said African-born residents continued to be among the highest-educated of immigrant groups.


    The great majority arrived legally. Most are U.S. permanent residents or citizens, hold work or educational visas or are refugees approved for resettlement, the report said.


    Maryland, with 120,000 African-born residents, is one of only four states where their population tops 100,000, after New York, California and Texas. Both Maryland and Virginia are among the 10 states with the highest percentages of such populations, with 15 percent and 9 percent, respectively.


    The Washington metropolitan region is also the second-most popular destination for African-born immigrants, after New York City. More than 161,000 African-born people — mostly from Nigeria and Ethi*o*pia followed by Ghana and Cameroon — live in the greater Washington area. Nationally, large numbers also emigrate fromEgypt.


    The census report said that, as seen in past surveys, African-born immigrants are more educated than the immigrant population as a whole, with 41 percent having a college or graduate degree. Egyptians rank highest on that scale, with 64 percent having a college education.

    However, some groups that arrived as refugees from conflict, such as Ethiopians and Somalis, have lower education levels. The survey said less than 40 percent of Somalis here had finished high school.


    The survey, which was based on data collected between 2008 and 2012, did not detail the reasons that African-born people continued to arrive in large numbers, but experts and previous studies have pointed to educational and work opportunities and family migration as major factors, in addition to flight from war.
