European Immigration Policies And The Economic Crisis

When immigration policy is discussed, typically, it is discussed within the confines of egalitarian notions and sentiments, and inside the boundaries and parameters set by generally Marxist-influenced social democracy. Characteristically, it is not discussed pertaining to the concept of a social order built on the rights of property owners, sharers, and contributors to and of the common stock- which at their discretion- may exclude bad apples, lazy contributors, rotten characters, trespassers, and terrorists. Once egalitarian sentiments and notions are rejected full-scale- (only giving credence to those that have empirical weight or logical consistency) more proper, more substantive interdisciplinary analyses may reveal that the current investigative techniques employed by current mainstream political theorists are- in the context of reality, incorrect, superficial and quite shallow.

In this paper, I decided to analyze the immigration policy. The immigration policies have had a deep history. The policies have been twisted, in the long run, to meet the demands of the time. However, most of the times, the policies have been unfair especially in regard to the immigrants. The overview contains a rich history of the policy progression and advancements in the immigration sector. In this paper, I decided to extrapolate on some few contemporary issues that are as a result of the immigration policies and laws. One of the contentious issues is the Visa policy. This is a system that is widely used by the US government. Though formulated with a good purpose, the formulation did not cater for everything that is associated with immigration. For instance, the immigrants who are on transit for employment are not selected based on the employment demand in the market, hence, they end up being stranded and thus are forced to accept low-paying jobs with poor working conditions. The solution to this is also discussed in the paper. I have also discussed on the open door policy and its implications which include overpopulation. Overpopulation on its part has directly affected both the immigrants and natives with many adverse effects. I was able to do research, and I consequently came up with a set of alternative methods that could be of help. However, I have also discussed

Years after years, flows of people immigrating to the United States have been raising up steadily, with the aim of pursuing the American dream, the dream of seeking prosperity and success in an equal society. Before 1882, the U.S had no immigration policy, in which the new comers could settle permanent inhabitants within America. After that period of time, the formidable numbers of arrivals had turned the attitudes of native government toward the effect of foreign dwellers on American life in which restriction policy on immigration has been unleashed. From 1882 to 1924, the immigration doors were slowly closed, beginning with the Chinese Exclusion Act on May 6, 1882 that prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers. Then, the fuel from the Nativism of Immigration Restriction League as well as the consequences of the WWI and effects from the First Red Scare have helped ratifying the 1921 Immigration Act that limited annual number of immigrants from certain countries. Not only European and Asian immigrants were affected but Latin Americans were also influenced by the immigration policy as well as the Great Depression within the United States, and Mexican immigrants during 1930s were a great example. However, the doors were quite opened again with the end of quota system in 1965 that based on families reunification and skilled labors attraction. Following the terrorist event of 9/11, the immigration doors have

The immigration policy in Canada have many different parts, like regulations, guidelines, and actions by government agents. It could be difficult to know what the main goal of these different parts are, since so much of it is set out of the public eye. In this paper, the focus will be on the purpose of immigration historically and in the contemporary period. I will also be talking about the relationship between ethnicity, race and assimilability to the nation-state and nationhood. Then I would look at the people in immigration that were defined as either an ethnic or as a 'race ', and why. Furthermore I would write about the relationship between nationalism and racism and how, by whom, and why it is expressed.

In light of the September 11th tragedy the balance between open border commerce and tighter security must and will be reevaluated. As it appears now, all the terrorists were foreign. Some of these persons had entered the US via Canada. Some of the terrorists had been in and out of the country more than once and many had taken several flights each prior to the attack. Most of the terrorists had arrived in the US legally, taking advantage not just of loose security measures, but of lax immigration policies.i

In some periods of our history immigration is often associated with conflict and warfare. Nearly 8 million refugees found a new home in West Germany and 3.5 million in East Germany by 1950, as a result of Second World War. Other examples are Algerian independence in 1962 also resulted an inflow of one million Algerians into France in last than a year. The Balkan wars in the 1990s also led more than one million refugees into Germany. Some other periods of high immigration are related to economic need, mostly inflows into France, Germany and the Great Britain in 1950s and 1960s. Ethnic mix results from these movements are very different than others in Germany, France and

This paper will examine the immigration and refugee policies applied to Cubans and Salvadorans from the late-20th century, marking the initial surge of migrants from this region to the United States. The main reason that led to differences between Salvadoran and Cuban granted refugee status in the U.S. was the fact that Salvadorans were fleeing violence of regimes that the U.S. supported while Cubans were fleeing the U. S’s primary enemy, communism. This in turn led to different integration processes and acceptance into the state.

The European sovereign debt crisis started in 2008, with the collapse of Iceland's banking system, and spread primarily to Greece, Ireland and Portugal during 2009. The debt crisis led to a crisis of confidence for European

Italy has been known for its unstable government for years. The country has a huge public debt, issues with organized crime, high unemployment, as well as disparities between the industrialized North and less developed South. The country with its new Prime Minister is trying to improve the situation in Italy and has already approved some important reforms, to improve the political and economic system..

The European Debt Crisis often referred to as the Eurozone Crisis, struck the European Union at the end of 2009.

The Eurozone is facing a serious sovereign debt crisis. Several Eurozone member countries have high, potentially unsustainable levels of public debt. Three—Greece, Ireland, and Portugal—have borrowed money from other European countries and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in order to avoid default. With the largest public debt and one of the largest budget deficits in the Eurozone, Greece is at the centre of the crisis. The crisis is a continuing interest to Congress due to the strong economic and political ties between the United States and Europe.

In 1972 Italy for the first time registered more people entering the country than leaving, in part because of repatriation but also as a result of immigration from other countries. as no policy existed either to measure or to control immigration before the mid-1980s, the scale of the influx of non-European immigrants was difficult to assess, From the early immigrants arrivals to the refugees in recent years, Immigrants come to Italy seeking safety and employment, safety because of civil war in some African countries and Middle east, and Employment because of poverty specially from African sub-Saharan countries, from South America, and the Yugoslavians who helped with the reconstruction work in Friuli

What is the European Debt Crisis? The European Debt Crisis is the failure of the Euro, a currency that ties seventeen European countries together. In this paper, I will be describing the cause and effect of the debt crisis along with what would happen if the European Union stayed with the economy they have. Then what I believe is the best solution to fixing the debt crisis.

European Union represents economic and political partnership of 28 states, with population more than 500 million people who can travel within its territory without considering internal borders. It operates as a single market with standardized laws and guaranteed freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital. As such, European Union is attractive destination for all kind of immigrants, from people in search of a better life from unfortunate and unstable regions to highly qualified work force who are looking for greater business opportunities. As European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said in an interview for Time Magazine (Oct. 24,2007) “Europe is an
