Where People Moved
The South and West kept growing
- After 1980, the political, economic, and cultural influence of the American South and West continued to increase as population shifted to those areas.
- Continued to increase — 8.4's Sun Belt is the earlier stage, and the CED marks this as an ongoing trend.
- Three kinds of influence: political, economic, and cultural, and the political one follows from representation.
Select all three kinds of influence the South and West gained.
8.4's Sun Belt is the earlier stage.
Migration from two regions
- International migration from Latin America and Asia increased dramatically. The new immigrants affected U.S. culture in many ways and supplied the economy with an important labour force.
- Two named origins, and two effects: culture and an important labour force.
- 8.9's 1965 laws opened access from around the world; this is the demographic consequence two decades on.
Select both regions of dramatically increased migration.
8.9's 1965 laws opened access from around the world.
Two migrations, one map
- Internal movement to the South and West and international movement from Latin America and Asia overlap in the same regions.
- So the political shift the CED names is produced by both flows, not only by Americans moving within the country.
- Naming both is what makes a demographic answer complete rather than half-drawn.
Domestic movement, international migration, or the contest over it?

Culture and labour, in one sentence.
The political shift is produced by both flows. Internal movement to the South and West and international migration from Latin America and Asia overlap in the same regions — an answer naming only one has drawn half the map.
The political shift to the South and West is produced by both internal and international flows.
They overlap in the same regions.
And migration was itself contested
- 9.2 recorded intense political and cultural debates... over issues such as immigration policy, diversity, gender roles, and family structures.
- So the same development that supplied the labour force was one of the period's chief political arguments.
- 6.9's assimilation debate and 7.6's quotas are earlier rounds of the same argument, which is worth one sentence.
9.2 records that migration was also...
6.9 and 7.6 are earlier rounds of the same argument.
Domestic and international together
- The objective is the causes and effects of domestic and international migration over time, and both are graded.
- Domestic: shifts to the South and West, increasing their political, economic and cultural influence.
- International: dramatic increases from Latin America and Asia, affecting culture and supplying labour.
Two people arrive in the same growing city in the same year, one from another state and one from another country. The census counts them differently and the electoral map does not.
