...Immigration in the United States: Past, Present and Future Immigration and the United States of America go hand in hand ever since it was first discovered by Christopher Columbus. It is a great nation built on and built by immigrants. There were many waves of immigration we can speak of in America, and all of them required a different approach from the government to handle. In the following research paper. In this research paper, I will attempt to demonstrate how immigration in the United States of America came to be what it is today, by taking a look at its overall, concise, immigration history from the colonial times until today, as well as the various state and federal legislations that were implemented with regards to immigration, whether...

...Tyler Boles Annotated Bibliography Daly 9:00-9:50 Authority figures Bullies or Buddies: Brutality from authority figures to immigrants This newspaper article that I found online, written by Daniel Shoer Roth of the Miami Herald newspaper, shows his research on the subject of police brutality towards immigrants/refugees. it also shows some of his personal outlooks on the topic along with some views of some of the citizens in Miami that he interviewed. he talks on a national and local level about , biased policing, unconstitutional searches and seizures and the use of excessive force when dealing with ethnic groups. many cases have been documented in Miami-Dade County in which DEA agents and local police officers have arrested U.S. citizens with foreign last names to interrogate them about their citizenship. Foreigners are required to carry immigration papers, green cards, at all times. But natural born U.S. citizens are not required to carry papers proving citizenship. local police departments deny having policies that encourage the harassment of immigrants, but these attacks show how law-enforcement policies are not entirely respected by the officers. The enforcement program, Secure Communities, is sometimes considered a useless tool in bringing out dangerous foreign criminals, also gives full power to criminals and gives them power to commit abuse against our community. It also endangers any legal American who may be a victim of a crime witnessed by an immigrant/refugee...

...Research Paper Notes Many immigrants flock to prosperous nations such as the United States in search of a better life. Millions of immigrants come to the U.S. without following the proper immigration laws. The immigrants either immigrate illegally by crossing the borders or they enter legally but overstay their visas. Because of illegal immigration and the amount of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. we are in desperate need of Immigration Reform, not to deport them but to make them citizens. To become a citizen they must pay a fine and learn how to speak English. The following are some of the ideas of Immigration Reform: Border Protection: Increase border protection by adding more border agents, fencing, vehicle barriers, and...

As the world globalizes, this issue has become a topic of a debate in recent years. The inflow of immigrants may bring a positive effect or negative effect to the destined country. However, in some countries like the United States, their economic development has become dependent on immigrants. As Marco Rubio once said, “Americans believe in the value of immigration”. Immigration has made and is making favorable contribution in term of economy to the host country. Immigrants have benefited the U.S economy by filling in less-skilled job vacancies, increasing native’s wages and labor productivity, and lastly driving innovation. Immigrant Workers Fill the Growing Number of Job Vacancies Immigration plays an important role in filling in the less-skilled jobs vacancies in United States. The main reason why the United States has become significantly reliant on immigrants is because of the growing shortage of workers that are willing to do the less-skilled jobs. In recent years, American worker’s educational level has improved dramatically, thus result in the growing number of less-skilled jobs in which U.S-born workers are available. Less-skilled immigrants are needed to fill in occupations such as construction, farming, fishing, food processing, food...

...Sacco and Vanzetti On April 15, 1920, Frederick Parmenter, a paymaster, and Alessandro Berardelli, his assistant, were transporting the payroll when a man approached, robbed, and shot them in South Braintree, Massachusetts. Stolen was approximately $15,000 and both men died. Only a few months prior, in the nearby town of Braintree, had a similar heist occurred where the attempted robbery had failed. The failed Braintree job had pointed towards an Italian anarchist. The Bridgewater Police Chief felt that these two cases were connected. Later, Nicolas Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti came to pick up the car of the, then suspected anarchist, Mike Boda, from a local garage (Davidson & Lytle, 2005, p. 262). They were then the primary targets of the investigation thereafter. This case would become an international dilemma of American injustice. Both men protested against governments with anarchists’ views. They...

...Immigration: Positive Net Benefits Immigration has been a growing hot topic in the United States for decades. Obviously, immigration is not a new issue. Over the past couple of hundred years there have been several events that have spurred an increase of immigration in America and around the world. Today’s number of immigrants are in the millions, and according to critics those numbers have social and economic affects. Although host countries have to deal with the negative aspects of it, overall immigration has a positive net effect on a country. The difficulty comes in balancing the good with the bad. For example, a more specific issue of immigration in the U.S. has been illegal immigration. Critics say that undocumented immigrants threaten the American social fabric, native economy, national security, and everything American ("Usa immigration problems, n.d." ). Living in poor economic conditions, people from Mexico were illegally traveling to the U.S. with hopes of improving their quality of life. Undocumented aliens were such a concern that the U.S. built walls hundreds of miles along the border to strategically prevent people from illegally crossing over, a costly way to deter people considering the border is over a thousand miles long. Since the walls construction immigration from Mexico has decrease significantly, although it is mostly due to the weak U.S. economy. Some other costs are social. Such as, the effect of illegal immigration on America’s social insurance...

...Cultural Diversity in Australia Paper by John Thompson, Collection Research, Documentation and Promotion, for the National Conservations and Preservation Strategy Public Forum, October 1996. Introduction This paper has been written in response to an invitation from the Conservation Working Party of the Heritage Collections Committee of the Cultural Ministers Council. Its purpose is to consider the implications of cultural diversity in Australia in a program which seeks to implement the National Conservation and Preservation Policy for Movable Cultural Heritage issued by the Heritage Collections Committee of the Cultural Ministers Council in September 1995. That document included ten policy statements intended to provide the framework for a proposed National Conservation Strategy which might pave the way for a concerted effort to improve the conservation status of heritage collections in Australia. In relation to cultural diversity, the statement of policy (Policy Statement 2) was expressed as follows: The Commonwealth, State, Territory and Local Governments acknowledge the diversity of cultures of the Australian people which should be reflected in the definition and identification of movable cultural heritage. Expressed in this way, the policy statement does little more than state the obvious that Australia is a culturally diverse community and that efforts, unspecified, should be made to ensure that justice is done to this demographic and social reality in the programs which...

...Australian Multiculturalism: Its Rise and Demise Brian Galligan and Winsome Roberts University of Melbourne Refereed paper presented to the Australasian Political Studies Association Conference University of Tasmania, Hobart 29 September – 1 October 2003 Brian Galligan, Winsome Roberts: Australian Multiculturalism Multiculturalism merits special attention because of its significance as a national policy of accommodating migrants from diverse cultural backgrounds. Multiculturalism is more significant because of the larger claims it made about the actual or preferred character of the Australian people and national culture. These embellishments were promoted by a relatively small coterie of elites, as Mark Lopez has painstakingly documented,1 and became standard formulations used in official accounts of Australian national identity and citizenship. While the sting has gone out of multiculturalism and the national debate has moved on to issues of citizenship and refugee policy, multicultural formulations still inform official documents. According to this view, Australia is now made up of people of diverse cultures that should be given equal status with the Australian mainstream. Australian citizenship is then invoked as the glue that binds these different groups into a national unity. The multicultural account of Australia as a nation of diverse cultural groups has been taken over by the Australian Citizenship Council in its prescriptions for Australian Citizenship for...

...CURRENT AFFAIRS AND HISTORICAL CONNECTIONS My view of studying history is that it is important for future generations to know where their ancestors have been and what they have accomplished in order to make future changes and developments in a society. I feel that without studying American history most industries would not be able to grow to meet the demands of modern day needs. Take for instance the computer industry and it’s progression in the last 40 years. My laptop that I’m writing this paper with has as much power, if not more than the computers used to put a man on the moon. That would not be possible if manufacturers did not look at ways to improve what they already have developed, which means they have to look back at what they have created in the past. Among other important reasons for studying American History would be subjects such as labor laws and social security. We as a society want to live better lives and improve the quality of our lives and so by looking at the past we can make changes in the future to benefit our future generations. In my view without studying history there would be no progressive future. I think many people have a negative view on studying history because they can’t seem to find a connection to how history relates or affects their lives. I believe that anyone can find something interesting to study in history. It’s just a matter of finding a way for them to connect with a subject on a personal or professional level. Maybe someone does...

...living in a new society (de Castro, Gilbert & Takeuchi 2008). Like other European countries, Australia is also a very attractive destination for migrant workers. Migrants have been part of Australian society and the Australian workforce since colonisation began in 1788. However the migrant population at the time was of a predominantly European background. It was from the mid-nineteen century when Chinese, Pacific Islander, Lebanese, Afghan, Indian and European migrants arrived and settled in Australia. Due to the gradual liberalisation of Australian immigration policies, the ethnic composition of Australian migrants has shifted significantly, bringing in migrants from Southern Europe, Middle East, Asia and South America. Today well over 20% of Australians were born in another country, out of whom more than half came to Australia from non-English speaking countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America (Dept of Immigration). This essay will focus on the reasons behind the different workplace experiences of NESB employees; what...
