	Migration Information Source - Rethinking the Last 200 Years of US Immigration Policy
		From the economic perspective, immigration is viewed essentially as a source of additional labor, which reduces its price, or at least prevents it from rising; in the case of the highly skilled, it also externalizes the costs of training.
		Hence, the tapping of new sources of immigration frequently triggers confrontations in what are now termed "culture wars" between those intent upon preserving the nation's established boundaries of identity and those more tolerant of their broadening, who include the new immigrants themselves and their descendants.
		Immigration of Roman Catholics from new origins — Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the German Rhineland, and the southern part of the Netherlands — challenged the established boundaries of American cultural identity, initially founded on Protestantism.

	Federation for American Immigration Reform: U.S. Immigration History
		Immigration legislation focusing on illegal immigration was considered and passed by the 99th Congress, and enacted as the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 P.L. 99-603 (November 6, 1986; 100 Stat.
		The legal immigration changes included an increase in total immigration under an overall flexible cap, an increase in annual employment-based immigration from 54,000 to 140,000, and a permanent provision for the admission of "diversity immigrants" from "underrepresented" countries.
		The provisions of IIRAIRA were aimed at adopting stronger penalties against illegal immigration, streamlining the deportation (removal) process by curtailing the never-ending legal appeal process that was used by immigration lawyers to keep their clients in the United States until they found a sympathetic judge who would grand suspension of deportation (cancellation of removal).

	The United States and Immigration
		Immigration restrictions eventually denied the right of any Chinese person to enter America, even if the emigrant was coming from a US possession like Hawaii or the Philippines.
		The first ever national immigration restriction act was passed in 1875, "heralding the end of America's 'open-door' policy." Following that initial law, legislation began specifically targeting foreigners with a criminal record, a serious disease, or radical political views.
		The national Immigration Restriction League formed in 1894, and administration of a literacy test to immigrants was proposed shortly thereafter.

	USCCB - (MRS) - Office of Migration & Refugee Policy
		DENVER (CNS) -- The archbishop of Denver decried the immigration raids conducted at meatpacking plants in six states Dec. 12 by federal authorities to arrest workers in the country illegally who were suspected of participating in an identity theft scam.
		Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a Dec. 13 news release it had arrested 1,282 people at the six plants on "administrative immigration violations." The arrests, it said, were "part of an ongoing worksite enforcement investigation into immigration violations and a massive identity theft scheme that has victimized U.S. citizens and lawful U.S. residents."
		She supports our nation's right to regulate immigration and secure our borders for the common good of all citizens.

		This act further limited immigration by reducing the allowable number of entries to 2 percent and by using the 1890 census as the base, further discriminating against the newer immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, favoring immigration from northwestern Europe, and barring immigration from the Far East.
