From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with the social problems and economic struggles experienced by Persian immigrants in the United States. The immigration of Persians to the United States was greatly increased following the 1979 Iranian Revolution in which the Ayatollah Khomeini took over leadership of the government from the Shah. Khomeini's new government was strongly based on the values of the Moslem religion. As a result, severe restrictions were placed on virtually every aspect of Iranian life. This change disrupted the lives and security of many of Iran's citizens. This was especially true in the case of the nation's nonMoslem minorities, such as the Bahais, Zoroastrians, Christians and Jews. As a result of the Moslem takeover in Iran, all men, regardless of their beliefs, were forced to adhere to Moslem religious customs and to abandon any elements of ... "

From the Paper
"The overthrow of the Shah of Iran in 1979 led to the establishment of the regime of the Ayatollah Khomeini in that nation. Millions of Iranian citizens who were opposed to the harsh, inhumane policies of Khomeini fled the country. over the years, a great many of those Iranian refugees have settled in the United States. Unfortunately, upon their arrival in the United States, the Iranian immigrants have faced a whole new set of problems. Because of these problems, Iranian immigrants require a great deal of support from their own ethnocultural community in order to become truly adjusted to the new way of life in America. Thus, it can be seen that the concerns of Iranian immigrants in America are an important advocacy issue. These concerns must be addressed in order that the experiences of Iranian immigrants do not have an entirely negative impact upon their lives."

Abstract
This paper studies the experiences of Irish and Iranian immigrants in the United States. While the reasons behind immigration differed from one ethnic group to another, still the problems they faced were similar in nature as American viewed them as a threat to their social and cultural identities. The paper discusses these experiences with reference to two books: Ronald Takaki's "A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America" and Zohreh Sullivan's "Exiled Memories: Stories from the Iranian Diaspora."
From the Paper
"With America gaining significant economic growth in the 19th and 20th centuries, its popularity among other nations of the world increased dramatically. There was a wave of immigrants entering the country during that period and especially after the Great wars when there were disturbances in the European countries many people left their homeland and entered United States in search of better jobs and a more prosperous future. But not everyone left their country because there was an economic disaster, several left because for political reasons too. Iranians actually fell under this category. After years of weathering political instability in their own country, many Iranians fled their homeland in search of a safer environment and their destination was western countries. It was during this time that United States saw a sharp rise in the number of Iranian immigrants and since then the number has grown steadily even though Iranians remain the most underrepresented community. Iranians were not only looking for better job opportunities as most other immigrants, they were actually concerned about political and religious restrictions that they had been forced to endure during the Islamic revolution of 1979."

Abstract
Using Michael Hunt's book "Crises in U.S. Foreign Policy" as a referral, this paper explains in detail why the U.S. involved itself in Iran's politics and what they hoped to achieve by involving themselves. The paper explains the rise of a highly powerful Iran that neglected its people and that would eventually fall, which completely undermined what the U.S. had thought they had accomplished.
From the Paper
"Until the revolution of 1979, the United States saw Iran as the pivotal country for maintaining stability in a precarious Middle East. Iran provided a secure source of oil for the U.S. and its western European allies, as well as a way for the U.S. to contain the Soviet Union throughout the region. The U.S.?s plan to forcefully create a westernized state by use of an oppressive regime backfired with the Iranian Revolution of 1979. In effect, the U.S.?s efforts to establish direct political control in the Middle East resulted in the exact opposite of what it was hoping to achieve."

Abstract
This paper attempts to analyze the specific causes of the productivity slowdown in the U.S. during the 1970s. Three specific causes are identified as prevalent causes for the productivity slowdown: increases in oil prices as a result of the formation of OPEC and the Iranian hostage crisis , the entrance of baby boomers into the workforce which diluted both the experience of the entire workforce in general, and finally, a substantial decrease in technology investments and infrastructural investments on an industry wide level. The paper explores the many different causes and consequences of the productivity slowdown and how this will implicitly affect the industrialized world within the next decade. Two graphs are included with the paper.
From the Paper
"One of the often cited reasons for the productivity growth slowdown is the impact of high prices for oil. Oil shocks have been a prominent element in economist's views on productivity and overall growth patterns. It is not only attributed as a causal factor for productivity slowdowns, it also is known to cause a phenomenon of "stagflation" where high inflation is accompanied by high unemployment. When during the 1970s and 1980s, overall productivity fail to just .31% it was reflective of a period that experienced severe oil shocks. Oil prices have a distinct impact on productivity because it is used as the vehicle to power every segment of the economy and industry. With the severe oil shocks, costs roses unexpected and so did overall complications in relation with oil shortages. "

From the Paper
"By the summer of 1993, the related issues of illegal immigration and immigration reform had become leading political questions, particularly in California. When President Clinton visited California in mid-1993, he and his aids were "stunned" by the number of questions they were asked about immigration (Lauter, 1993).
As the immigration reform issue reached the forefront of public consciousness, its politics became more complicated. on the one hand, independent 1992 presidential candidate Ross Perot, as part of an apparent attempt to align himself more closely with Republicans against the Clinton Administration, began speaking out in his public addresses about the real or supposed abuses committed by illegal immigrants--a theme not sounded during his 1992 presidential campaign (Barrett, 1993). On the other hand..."

Abstract
This paper explains the harmful effects of illegal immigration on the United States' economy. The author presents evidence to support his claim that illegal immigrants affect the economy in a negative way. It then suggests ways to limit those effects and describes the most effective ways for the government to deal with this ongoing problem.
From the Paper
"One of the many ways illegal immigrants harm our nation is by using our government services. Each year, more and more undocumented aliens are coming to our country to get free education, health care, protection (fire and police departments), and other services, such as ESL (English as a Second Language) without paying taxes. It is estimated that eighty-six percent of all school-aged illegal immigrants attend public schools (Huddle 76). Undocumented foreigners also make up seventeen percent of all inmates in prison, costing us money to pay for their keep (Elsner). This would not bother me if these immigrants were paying for their services."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine factors that led to changes in patterns of Asian American immigration in recent years. The plan of the research will be to set forth the background that makes exploration of these changes relevant and then to discuss the changes in more detail as well as the most important reasons that they came about.
The main factor of change in patterns of Asian immigration to America in the twentieth century can be summed up in two words from the title of the book edited by Ong, Bonacich, and Cheng: global restructuring, specifically shifts in the distribution of industrial priorities and division of labor for the benefit of holders and controllers of capital. Political policies can be seen to have played a role in this process, such as for example the Immigration Act ..."

The paper explains that the current policy is duplicitious, openly praising the virtues economic integration while simultaneoulsy preventing the integration of the labor market.
From the Paper
"The United States of America in dutifully and aggressively protecting its own interests has at times assumed a duplicitous role with its neighbors. Nowhere has this been truer than in regard to Mexico specifically pertaining to US immigration policy."

Abstract
This paper discusses to what extent the Germans influenced life in the U.S.A. It shows that German immigrants to the United States influenced thought and culture in a variety of ways, but they nearly always managed to hold on to their own culture while adapting to their surroundings.
From the Paper
"While America has always been a melting pot of different cultures blending to form a whole, Germans have always managed to blend into society while nevertheless retaining their own special culture and society. The Germans are one of the few races to hang on to their culture so powerfully, while still successfully merging with U.S. culture. One of the most important ways they held on to their culture was by continuing to speak German, especially in the homes, and raising their children to also speak the native language. They also tended to marry within their own culture. Even throughout the 19th century, third or forth generation German young people were continuing to marry Germans, rather than non-Germans (Spencer 149). They also tended to settle together, forming communities and towns populated mostly with Germans, often all from the same German town or area. This kept the culture from dispersing in large metropolitan areas, and helped keep the people together and their lifestyle much the same as it had been in Germany. The Germans were emphatic about creating better lives for themselves while maintaining their cultural identity, and they took strong steps to make sure this was so, even refusing to marry outside their culture."
