  Models of migration to the New World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The question of when humans first entered the Americas (the "New World") and how they arrived has been debated for centuries, and will probably continue to be for many more years to come in the anthropological community.
The coastal migration models have provided a new look at migration in the New World, but they are not without their own problems.
In conclusion, the point is not favoritism towards any one particular model, but awareness of the possibility of the antiquity of people in the New World and a continuing need for future archaeologists to further investigate the matter.

 Human migration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Migration and population isolation is one of the four evolutionary forces (along with natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation).
Notable examples of this phenomenon include mass migration of Protestants from the Spanish Netherlands to the Dutch Republic after the 1580s, the expelling of Jews and Moriscos from Spain in the 1590s and the expulsion of the Huguenots from France in the 1680s.
For instance, Spanish emigration to the New World was limited to settlers from Castille who were intended to acts as soldiers or administrators.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christendom
The conflict between the new religion and the Roman Empire was due partly to the very thoroughness of the Christian system and it naturally emphasized the distinction between this new society and the old state.
The formation of Christendom was to be the work of a new generation of nations, baptized in their infancy and receiving even the message of the ancient world from the lips of Christian teachers.
New interests were springing up on every side with the growth of wealth, of education, and of the complexity of life new professions, other than that of arms, were being opened to the educated laity.

 Migration Information Source - New German Law Skirts Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Germany has passed a new immigration law aimed mainly at coping with several pressing issues and dilemmas: first, how to integrate immigrants; second, how to manage asylum; and third, whether and how to recruit foreigners to fill out the country's thinning domestic work force.
However, many analysts believe the new legislation falls short of what is needed to confront the vast demographic and labor market challenges ahead of Germany.
But the law squanders the chance to devise a pioneering new regulatory framework for pro-active migration policy that is urgently needed by Germany (and other European countries) given foreseable demographic challenges.

The world which emerged from the destruction of World War II could not have been predicted in 1945, but the emphasis on technology and capability rather than on assumptions about future geopolitical scenarios served us well as we entered the Cold War.
This is not a new observation, but it makes the graphical point that in New World Vistas, we are trying to define capabilities that make immediate and efficient use of technologies which have passed the "700" point.

 CEPR Discussion Paper Abstracts
An important drawback of single equation migration models is that in effect they assume wages and employment to be independent of the level of migration.
The model yields a reduced form migration equation without current wage terms, casting doubt on the single-equation specifications which include such terms.
Using data on migration flows from some European countries to the United States for 1870-1914, Williamson estimated the parameters of the structural model from the reduced form equation and extraneous information.

He also noted that some 25,000 foreign farmworkers with H2-A visas are admitted annually and that the new legislation proposed by grower advocates might expand this number to as many as 300,000 while removing the requirement that H2-A employers provide free housing and advertise first for domestic workers.
She challenged the audience to think carefully about the motivations behind demands for increased labor supply--arguing that the 1942 Emergency Farm Labor Importation program was less a response to labor scarcity than an effort to supplant farmworkers who were organizing.
He noted that agriculture has always been treated as special and that agricultural employers have always had access to forced labor of one kind or another, from indentured servants to slaves to peons to H2-A and undocumented workers who can be threatened with deportation if they challenge their wages or conditions.

 Change in Microsoft Vista security system promises Windows migration headaches - Network World
The good news for users is that those same observers say Vista, which is being touted for its security features, will eventually deliver a more secure and flexible authentication architecture than exists today in Windows.
During migrations, users will have key security infrastructures that straddle two different authentication environments, one for Vista and one for earlier versions of Windows, until migrations are complete.
The previous model, called Graphical Identification and Authentication (GINA), is used by ISVs such as Check Point, Cisco, Citrix, Nortel, Novell, RSA Security and Symantec to link their authentication technology into the Windows authentication architecture.
