Hawaiian immigrant population

The youngest state in the United States is Hawaii, which was founded in 1959, and its area is the second from the bottom. However, there are more than 2 million Japanese in this state of the United States. Judging from people's race, this state is more like belonging to Japan. There are so many Japanese in this state for a reason.

1. Because of the shortage of labor, a large number of Japanese migrant workers were introduced.

Hawaii is the farthest state from the United States, but it is closer to Southeast Asian countries. Hawaii was famous for its sugar industry from 65438 to 0860. Just when the American Civil War broke out, sugar became particularly popular as an important material. Because of the rapid development and large demand of sugar industry, a group of migrant workers are urgently needed, and because of the serious shortage of local labor force, it is urgent to introduce migrant workers from other countries.

At that time, Japan was carrying out the Meiji Restoration and promoting the United States as a paradise country. It happens that Hawaii needs people and the distance is close. The combination of the two has brought a large number of Japanese with dreams. However, the reality is cruel, and many Japanese people only know that they have been cheated when they come. Like African laborers, they work hard and get a meager salary. These migrant workers later became the first Japanese-Americans in Hawaii.

Second, because I want to immigrate to America.

1959 After Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States, many Japanese who had a good impression on the United States wanted to immigrate to the United States, but it was difficult to immigrate directly, so they adopted the strategy of "saving the country by curve", tried to find a way to Hawaii, which is close at hand, and then tried to find a way to the United States. Because of this influence, the number of Japanese in Hawaii has increased rapidly.
