Question 1

The random dip in the graph indicates that in 2001 arrivals to the United States from overseas dropped. The number of arrivals dropped from approximatively 6.5 million to 3.5 million in the time of about one year. These statistics can help educate us about the history because we learn what happens to cause these huge downfalls. We discussed that the reason for this specific downfall was because of nine eleven; the terrorist attack in New York City. Nine eleven caused this because airports overseas and in the US became strict about who they would let into the United States.
