Immigration and the Fracturing of Community I've always been intrigued by the debate in the 1840s--the debate of nativists against the Irish immigration, having to do more with religion than with ethnicity or race, certainly; the argument being, as war was brewing with Mexico, that if you allowed the Irish into the country, you would jeopardize the Protestant states. I've always thought that was a pretty good argument against Irish immigration, except that it didn't take into account Pat Buchanan, which is to say it didn't take into account the fact that maybe Irish Catholics could become Protestant over time in their culture. The interesting thing about the Irish, of course, is that a number of them did rebel against the United States--the San Patricios in Mexico during the Mexican War. www.upenn.edu /pnc/rodriguez.html   (7004 words)

Mexicans in the United States, 1900-1940 At the beginning of that year I came back [to the United States] for the following reasons: A friend of mine told me that some of the Catholics in the League wanted to talk with me. I went to see what they wanted and they were all together in the vestry of church. I was about twenty-five years old when some friends said that we should go to the United States and they even loaned me money for the far. In 1930 a fact-finding committee reported to the Governor of California that, as a result of the passage of the Immigration Acts of 1921 and 1924, Mexicans were being used on a large scale in the Southwest to replace the supply of cheap labor that had been formerly recruited in Southeastern Europe. www.duke.edu /~mahealey/aztlan_1.htm   (5269 words)

House Patriot Act hearing abruptly ends - Politics - MSNBC.com “We are not besmirching the honor of the United States, we are trying to uphold it,” he said. The four witnesses were from groups, including Amnesty International USA and the American Immigration Lawyers Association, that have questioned the constitutionality of some aspects of the act, which allows law enforcement greater authority to investigate suspected terrorists. The House Judiciary Committee hearing, with the two sides accusing each other of being irresponsible and undemocratic, came as President Bush was urging Congress to renew those sections of the post-Sept. 11 counterterrorism law set to expire in September. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/8181018   (1138 words)

John J. Miller of Oath of Allegiance on National Review Online My fidelity and allegiance from this day forward is to the United States of America. There has been talk for years that the Oath of Allegiance was going to undergo some judicious editing, but most people assumed the changes at least would be discussed before they were imposed. NRO has obtained a copy of the new oath, which the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services plans to unveil on September 17 at an event in Washington, D.C. It will be published in the Federal Register that day and be made effective immediately, according to BCIS spokesman Russ Knocke. www.nationalreview.com /miller/miller090503.asp   (658 words)

Susan Leonard's CU The United States’ population will be at least fifty percent non-white by 2050 through immigration and births (Hing, 1997), yet the image of America as a white, Anglo-Saxon nation lingers in our classrooms and our history books. States could admit free blacks, if they chose to do so, although there was federal accommodation neither for that nor for the admission to citizenship of women or Native Americans. In 1790, the English population of the United States of America was 60 percent of the white population, which included Dutch, Germans, French, and others. www.unm.edu /~abqteach/usa/00-05-05.htm   (7462 words)

I went to see what they wanted and they were all together in the vestry of church. As a report to the U.S. Secretary of Labor recognized in 1922, the feeling of "the average Mexican unskilled worker from Mexico is that when he enters in any manner into the United States that he is only upon a visit to an unknown portion of his own country. Many of those who left thought this was a momentary adjustment; just as they had left Mexico when there was no work there, so they would be leaving the United States temporarily. www.duke.edu /~mahealey/aztlan_1.htm   (7462 words)

Dobbs' Choice Dobbs infused his own comments with a political urgency he found lacking elsewhere: "There are an estimated 10 million illegal aliens in the United States, and federal agencies are doing little to investigate and apprehend them" Dobbs explained (11/18/03). Dobbs' immigration reports--which tended to blur the distinction between legal and illegal immigration (see sidebar)--covered a grim array of concerns. The $20 billion "cost" factoid was advanced by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (press release, 5/19/97), which extrapolated on a set of annual estimates in the NAS report, arguing there is "a total cost to those taxpayers of $15 to $20 billion dollars, much higher than the economic benefits." www.fair.org /extra/0402/dobbs.html   (1372 words)

World View: The Turkish Experience Two more waves of Turkish immigrants (students and army officers) arrived in the United States: in the 1950s, after Turkey became a member of NATO, and after 1965, when America’s restrictive immigration laws changed. This was particularly true for the 50,000 Muslim Turks of the Ottoman Empire coming to the United States from 1900 to 1921, according to CWRU historian John Grabowski (ADL ’71; GRS ’73 and ’77, history), the Krieger-Mueller Associate Professor in Applied History and director of research at the Western Reserve Historical Society. Nearly ninety-five percent of the Turkish Muslim immigrants—predominantly male, from the peasant class, and primarily from Anatolia or the Balkan region of present-day Bulgaria and Albania—eventually returned to their home country after working for a period of time in the United States. www.cwru.edu /pubs/cwrumag/fall2002/departments/worldview/turkish.shtml   (735 words)

No.05-552: Gonzales v. Thomas - Petition Respondents, a wife, husband, and two minor chil dren, are natives and citizens of South Africa who entered the United States as visitors and then applied for asylum. The petitioner in this Court is the Attorney General of the United States, Alberto R. Gonzales. The immigration judge noted that, according to Michelle Thomas's written application, the respondents are seeking asylum "on the grounds of race because as a White family in South Africa, they are being targeted for persecution by Black South Africans," and because "Black workers in South Africa hold a grudge against her and her family."

Think Tank Town - Ron Nessen Reports on the Idea Industry One of the most controversial proposals in the immigration legislation currently being debated by Congress is the so-called “guest worker program” – a provision which would allow foreign citizens to come to the United States for a period of time to work, and then require them to return to their home countries. The think tanker concludes his lengthy analysis by listing lessons he says the United States should learn from the fighting in Iraq. The think tanker was critical of the version of immigration legislation passed by the House of Representatives, which would impose criminal penalties on illegal immigrants and those who employ them, construct a wall along the Mexican border, and provide no process for achieving legal status. blogs.washingtonpost.com /thinktanktown   (2646 words)

RealClearPolitics With the Muslim headscarf controversy raging in France, talk about the connection between asylum abuse and terrorism rising in the United Kingdom, an immigration dispute threatening to tear Belgium apart, and the Dutch outrage over the van Gogh killing, western Europe may now be reaching a tipping point. Today, Muslims constitute the majority of immigrants in most western European countries, including Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, and the largest single component of the immigrant population in the United Kingdom. So unlike American Muslims, who are geographically diffuse, ethnically fragmented, and generally well off, Europe's Muslims gather in bleak enclaves with their compatriots: Algerians in France, Moroccans in Spain, Turks in Germany, and Pakistanis in the United Kingdom. www.realclearpolitics.com /Commentary/FA-6_05_RL.html   (4660 words)

07/24/02 - Miller Watch (And Wait and Wait) Miller describes his visit to the U.S.-Mexico border around Douglas, Arizona, where thousands of illegal immigrants make their way into the United States monthly, trashing ranches and robbing and terrorizing their American owners. Immediately after John O’Sullivan’s removal from the editorial chair, the word from 215 Lexington Avenue was that National Review would not jettison his immigration reform line, but simply “talk about it less.” For some time, “less” seemed to mean not at all. Miller first crawled out of the perambulator as a brash proponent of the quintessential neoconservative “Immigration’s Great, We Just Have To Work On Assimilation” dogma, specializing in vicious attacks on conservatives who doubted it. www.vdare.com /williamson/miller_watch.htm   (1724 words)

ROBERTNAMER.COM Nearly 23 percent of all people born in the United States in 2002 had a foreign-born mother — the largest percentage since a wave of immigration more than 90 years ago, a study of birth records by a private nonprofit group shows. Members attending the group's biennial convention said it's not too early to talk about how to keep a Republican in the White House, and they believe Clinton could help them win again if she were on the Democratic ticket. The Center for Immigration Studies said the country has not seen as large a share of its children born to immigrants since 1910, when the number reached 22 percent as shiploads of Italians and eastern Europeans crowded America's port cities. www.robertnamer.com   (224 words)
