It looks like 7/8 of the immigrant population came from Western Europe in 1910.* And 7/8 is coming from Mexico in 2010. Essentially, what this map is telling us is that large waves of people tend to come from one geographic area at any given time.

My family came to the US in the years just after 1910, but from Eastern Europe.
