The Immigration Act Of West Indies

Introduction Since the enactment of the 1965 Immigration Act, the United States has seen a huge arrival of West Indian immigrants in New York City, and more so here in Richmond Hill Queens. The names “Caribbean” and “West Indies” are exchangeable, since the countries and islands that make up the West Indies are all situated in or around the Caribbean Sea or have since join the Caribbean Community as member of States. Today, the Guyanese population in Richmond Hill Queens has expanded tremendously

Commonwealth. As the Phillips brothers point out, however, prior to the Windrush arriving in Britain in 1947, there was a black population able to trace their lineage back a few centuries. Additionally, during the Second World War, about ten thousand West Indian men arrived in Britain, which was more than the entire pre-war black population. Hence, Britain was not new to having a black population, the problem was the numbers of this population was increasing uncontrollably. Many of these passengers

Immigration is the movement through which an individual permanently moves from their place of residence from one country to another. Immigration is a topic which divides political parties and general debate. Whilst some people see the positives of immigration, such as the filling of skill gaps in low and highly skilled jobs, others see the negatives of immigration, such as the strain on services such as the NHS, schools and housing. Firstly, there are clear benefits to immigration. Different communities

Second World War. These newcomers came mainly from the Commonwealth with the majority of them coming from the West Indies and the Indian sub continent. At this time, before the Race Legislation was introduced all these people had 'right of entry' which meant they were all free to enter the United Kingdom. This was given to them in the 1948 British Nationality Act and it was an important feature of Britain, as it showed the commonwealth was a multiracial and multicultural

Immigration has gone through many different stages of change just as the nation of Canada had many stages of change. Transformations of immigration during the post-war period greatly impacted the society and immigration patterns of today. These changes included the post-war immigration boom, a less segregating Immigration Act and the rise of multicultural and refugee immigration. Post-war immigration patterns have differed from previous waves of immigration due to their size and source of immigration

In Britain, since the 1960’s, there was mass immigration from many countries around the globe, including the majority of people coming from South Asia, Africa and the West Indies. This mass immigration clearly had a direct impact on the transformation of London and turned it into the ‘multi-ethnic city’ that we have today. However, it is debatable whether this entire process of large scale immigration can be considered a ‘smooth process’ due to the fact that there were many challenges that immigrants

Few topics of the colonial era of North America generate as much debate as the conversion of labor in 17th century Virginia from English indentured servitude to one based primarily on African slaves. Historians have attempted to ascertain why Virginia tobacco planters determined that an economic system based on African slave labor was advantageous to the traditional servant system used up to that point, and why that change increased rapidly beginning in the 1670s. The significance of these years

time of the Spanish American War, Cuba was slowing making its worldwide debut as a leader in product trade. Before that, Cuba was diminishing as a country because of the war than had begun within the small country. Spain was forcing the country to act in Guerilla Warfare, or the use of hit- and run strategies by small groups controlled by aggressive force.

Policy – U.K. Immigration & Race Relations The Oxford English dictionary describes immigration as the international movement of people to a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle or reside there, or to take-up employment as a migrant worker. It was in the mid-twentieth century, following the Second World War, that many economic migrants first arrived in the UK from Commonwealth countries, particularly the West Indies, seeking work

Imagine a world that has always been void of immigration. Where the founding fathers of the United States were prohibited from escaping persecution and seeking religious freedom, which otherwise would not have established what would become the greatest nation in the world. Where, instead of the of the melting pot of different ethnicities and the “land of freedom” that the United States prides itself as being, the English refused to allow immigration after its settlement and to this day, the United
