Pakistani Americans
Pakistani Americans ((ウルドゥー語:پاکستانی نژاد امریکی)) are Americans whose ancestry originates from Pakistan or Pakistanis who migrated to and reside in the United States.
== History in the United States ==
Immigrants from areas that are now part of Pakistan had been migrating to America as early as the eighteenth century, working in agriculture, logging, and mining in the western states of California, Oregon, and Washington.〔(Pakistanis in America ) March 2, 2012〕 The passage of the Luce-Celler Act of 1946 allowed these immigrants to acquire U.S. citizenship through naturalization. Between 1947 and 1965, only 2,500 Pakistani immigrants entered the United States; most of them were students who chose to settle in the United States after graduating from American universities, according to reports from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. This marked the beginning of a distinct 'Pakistani' community in America. However, after President Lyndon Johnson signed the INS Act of 1965 into law, eliminating per-country immigration quotas and introducing immigration on the basis of professional experience and education, the number of Pakistanis immigrating to the United States increased dramatically.〔(Pakistanis in U.S. ), 2010-05-20.〕 By 1990, the U.S. Census bureau indicated that there were about 100,000 Pakistani Americans in the United States and by 2005 their population had grown to 210,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=United States Census Bureau )〕
