The NYTimes today has an excellent set of interactive maps and data sets outlining immigration trends in the United States since 1880. The maps allow you to compare foreign born population vs. the total population for any state by decennial years; 1880, 1890, 1910 etc. In addition, you can choose from a select group of countries and track that nations immigration to various counties in the United States.
The data set focuses on diversity in nations classrooms and tracks demographic changes across school districts.

Thanks for the link. The data have always been available to the public, but NYT did a great job presenting it graphically. What is more impressive is that data are down to county level, instead of state.
