Abstract
This paper examines how Pyong Min?s "Mass Migration to the United States" reviews the vast influx of people from Mexico, Latin America, Asia, Russia and the Caribbean into the United States that has occurred since 1965. It shows how the book is a compilation of chapters written by different authors addressing different aspects of this new immigration. It looks at how these chapters both discuss general issues related to immigration and the concerns of specific ethnicities and cultures that have immigrated. It addresses such topics as the difference between this wave of immigrants and the last, anti-immigration sentiments and the immigration of Jews and Asians.
From the Paper
"In chapter 1, Charles Jaret explores nativist sentiments that have accompanied the respective waves of immigration. He addresses both the concerns that immigrants will dilute the American way of life and American intelligence. He reaches two conclusions: that recent years ?have seen anti-immigration attitudes and behavior undergo some significant realignment, reformulation, and diminution? and that ?many of the core beliefs and fears that creaed and sustained anti-immigrant perspectives in the past are still widely held.? (Pg. 21) Certain nativist contentions, such as mental inferiority, were common in the past and only occasionally alluded to today due to sensitivity. However, other reasons for not liking immigrants, such as the spread of disease, he notes are almost identical to similar concerns a century ago. Many ideas posited a century ago reflect concepts of eugenics and race-identity that have since become taboo."

Abstract
This paper studies the effects of international migration on the social and political climate of the U.S., which is analyzed through theoretical perspectives suggested and based on discussions provided by four social scientists, Douglas Massey, Kim Matthews, Paul Kennedy, and Nina Schiller. Their analyses are discussed vis-a-vis Stephen Castles and Mark Miller?s proposed migration theories and models presented in their book, ?The Age of Migration.?
From the Paper
"Migration, as a social activity, is a vital element considered not only for its importance in determining specific aspects of a country?s socio-demographic characteristics, but in determining the psycho-demographic characteristics of societies and cultures within that country. Indeed, it is evident that apart from serving as a catalyst in changing the social structure of societies, migration also helps change and bring dynamism to a the norms, traditions, and values held important by a society and culture. Take as an example the history of migration in the United States. Historical events such as the first and second World Wars have triggered the sudden increase in migration of people from different countries in the world. Furthermore, migration also increased as an effect of the economic and political stability of the US, as compared to other countries in the world, which are either experiencing economic crisis or political instability, or both."

Abstract
This paper begins by discussing the reasons for the recent increase in Dominicans searching refuge in the United States by examining political and socio-economic reasons for migration. It then looks at a history of this immigration trend and discusses the profile of the Dominican population within the U.S. It discusses their racial background, education, social and economic statures, religion and culture. It looks at the future prospects for this community and whether their migration has assisted Dominicans left behind. Includes graphs and tables.
From the Paper
"In the 1960?s and early 1970s, the Dominicans who traveled to the United States were mostly political refugees. Uncertain economic and political conditions prevailing in Haiti and Cuba in the 1980s and 1990s became the cause of waves of migration into the United States from these two nations, and the immigrants often used desperate means to get to their destination. Dominicans are the largest group of immigrants coming from any one Latin American or Caribbean country in three New England States ? Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. "

Chinese Migration to the United States, 2006.

Abstract
The writer of this paper attempts to justify why many Chinese citizens chose to immigrate to America as opposed to other nations, such as England or Germany. This paper utilizes the push-pull theory to provide insights into the Chinese migration to the U.S. The pull-factor represents the attraction to a receiving country, often a major industrialized nation of the first world, by some perceived offering or opportunity. The push-factor entails impelling reasons such as low living standards, lack of economic opportunities, political repression or war, which made the people choose to leave their country of origin. This paper examines the various reasons Chinese citizens chose to leave their country, including China's feudal society that was controlled through traditional roles and responsibilities that were based on age, sex, birth order and social class. Chinese migration to the U.S. started during the 1840s. This paper explains how the American gold rush of the 1850s served as the pull factor, while the economically depressed area of south China served as the push. This paper examines the difficulties the immigrants faced in America, including the inherent cultural differences that led to conflicts between the new immigrants and the Americans. The writer also discusses the various reasons many Chinese immigrated to Hawaii and the Pacific West Coast, in which Chinese immigrants made up a large portion of the labor force.

From the Paper
"The Hawaiian government felt it was right to use the workers in the fields but one the contracts were up they did everything in power to keep the Chinese from becoming g full fledged members of the island. This included bringing Japanese to substitute for Chinese as well as using Filipinos for the same purpose. In 1903, Hawaii literally created a law that stipulated that only United States citizens or anyone who was eligible to become a citizen which meant non Asians could become employed in the Hawaiian territory. Metropolitan areas became the sanctuaries for the masses of Chinese immigrants. In San Francisco for example, the notion of a 'Chinatown' implied that Chinese in America were in charge of a world within a world."

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of legal migration. Specifically, it discusses the benefits of allowing legal migration from Mexico to the U.S. and the damaging effects of not allowing legal migration. In addition, it analyzes the problems and dangers that have come from the increased border patrols. Allowing more legal migration from Mexico into the United States is a controversial issue that has been addressed by many, but never acted upon. The writer points out that the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico into the U.S. takes its toll in many forms; allowing more legal immigrants to enter the U.S. would solve many problems, including death in the deserts, smugglers trafficking in human lives, and reuniting families separated by time and borders. It argues that legal immigration from Mexico must be addressed and increased for the benefit of so many Mexican citizens who want to better their lives.
From the Paper
"The history of legal and illegal immigration into the country from Mexico has not always been fraught with problems. In the 1940s, the "bracero" program allowed Mexican farm workers to immigrate to the United States to work primarily in the farmlands of California and Texas. The program was temporary, and allowed workers to come into the country because of a labor shortage in the US caused by World War II. It continued rather sporadically until 1964, when the US ended the program, feeling it artificially lowered the wages for American farm workers. When the program ended, the Border Patrol, the enforcement division of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), (now called the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, USCIS), apprehended perhaps 42,000 illegal workers attempting to enter the country along the Mexican border. By 1974, that number had skyrocketed to at least 710,000 illegal immigrants apprehended attempting to enter the country, and in 1986, the peak year, 1.7 million people were apprehended. Today, at least 1,000,000 workers are apprehended each year (Borjas and Fisher 626). In 1986, President Reagan and the Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), a form of amnesty that allowed many illegal aliens already in the country to remain in the country legally. It also created many sanctions against employers who hire illegal aliens."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the National Museum's Field to Factory exhibit, and the Great Migration from the years 1915-1940. It discusses the social elements that existed in the lives of southern African Americans and their reasons to migrate by the thousands to northern lands. The writer further looks at the effects of this migration on the United States, making use of 3 sources of supporting information.
From the Paper
"A remarkable statement on the social history of the United States, the Field to Factory Exhibit at the National Museum of American History offers the viewer the opportunity to step briefly back in time and experience elements from the Great Migration of an American people. This period, (1915-1940) is an important span of time for the entire world to consider. While we are taught about the Civil War, slavery, and the Civil Rights Movement, we often fail to comprehend the significant changes that took place in the United States because of the courage of a race that refused to be enslaved forever. This exhibit speaks, through visual and audio means, about the lives of the African American people in the south, during their migration north, and presents evidence about their new lives in the northern United States."

Abstract
The writer of this paper traces the migration of Mexican citizens to America back to the 1920s. For nearly 60 years, Mexico has been the primary source of Latin-American immigrants to America. This paper supplies relevant statistics and data pertaining to this specific topic. Recent census reports state that nearly 50% of America's Latino population was born outside the United States. This paper also delves into the large numbers of illegal immigrants residing in America. In 1995, it was reported that Mexicans comprised up to 62% of the illegal immigrant population residing in America. This paper details the main reasons for the influx of Mexicans into America, including the economic disparities and differences in wage structures between the two countries. Due to the lack of economic opportunity in their country of origin, Mexican citizens continue to migrate to the U.S. in unprecedented numbers.

From the Paper
"It is also important that naturalization rates continue to be low for Mexican immigrants compared to other groups currently. Illegal immigration started to take place from 1965 in a tremendous manner. In 1995, as stated in a report, Mexicans comprised up to 62% of the immigrants who came into U.S. by adopting illegal means. Mexican immigration nevertheless cannot be stopped and coping to exist in harmony might be increasingly intricate. Nearly every year recently, the Border Patrol has prevented approximately 1 million immigrants trying to sneak into U.S. employing unlawful means from Mexico. It is normally anticipated that close to 300,000 cross the borders illegally. In case more than 1 million Mexican soldiers infringed the border, Americans will consider it as a major threat to their national security and swing into action they deem fit."

Abstract
This paper will consider the relation between the British Columbia public transit service's new "Stop Request" program, in relation to the transportation needs of Vancouver's Downtown East Side residents. This paper will examine these issues with Beauregard's (1989) modernist/postmodernist perspective; and the usefulness of Young's (YEAR) discussion of the five faces of oppression, as a way to more specifically characterize the people of East Side Vancouver in relation to their marginal location in the city and in the society and their relation with issues of "safety".
