1943 Repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act
Order ID:89JHGSJE83839 Style:APA/MLA/Harvard/Chicago Pages:5-10 Instructions:
1943 Repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act
1948 Displaced Persons Act – which permitted refugees from Europe
1952- Immigration and Naturalization Act – which permitted a quota of Japanese immigrants
1960s most immigrants were from Europe, but today most immigrants are from Central America (predominantly Mexico) or Asia
2007- More than 1 in 10 U.S. residents (11.7%) were born in a foreign country
Immigrants are less likely than U.S. natives to graduate from high school
The percentage of foreign-born residents (27.3%) with a bachelor’s degrees or more education is nearly equivalent to that of native-born (27.2%) population
Why?
Compared to the Native-born U.S. population, immigrants are more likely to be unemployed and to live in poverty
Almost 43% of immigrants work at jobs that pay less than $7.50 an hour, compared to 28% of all workers in the U.S.
Low-income immigrants are less likely than low-income natives to use benefits such as Medicaid, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), and food stamps
Noncitizen immigrants are ineligible for federal public benefit programs
State Funded Service- one time only $1500
million undocumented immigrants in the United States
One-fourth of the total foreign-born population
More than half of undocumented immigrants (57%) are Mexicans
Estimated 5% of U.S. workers are undocumented immigrants
Virtually all undocumented men are in the labor force
62% of undocumented women are less likely to be in the labor force – because they are more likely to be a stay-at-home mom
Undocumented workers often do work that U.S. worker are unwilling to do
Workers routinely work 60 or more hours per week and earn less than the minimum wage of $5.15 per hour
They are not paid overtime and have no benefits
Wal-Mart- hired undocumented immigrants to clean their stores- they worked 7 nights a week, 364 days a year, and were often locked in stores
In 2005 Wal-Mart agreed to pay a record $11 Million to settle charges that it used hundreds of illegal immigrants to clean its stores
1986 Congress approved the Immigration Reform and Control Act – which made hiring illegal immigrants an illegal act punishable by fines and even prison sentences
This Act also prohibits employers from discriminating against legal immigrants who are not U.S. citizens
To become a U.S. citizen, immigrants must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence
Have resided continuously as a lawful permanent U.S. resident for at least five years
Must be able to read, write, speak, and understand basic English
Must show that they have “good moral character”
Applicants who have been convicted of murder or an aggravated felony are permanently denied U.S. citizenship
They are also denied if, in the last five years, they have engaged in any one of a variety of offenses, including prostitution, illegal gambling, controlled substance law violation, habitual drunkenness, willful failure or refusal to support dependents, and criminal behavior involving “moral turpitude”
Moral turpitude is a legal concept in the USA, which refers to “conduct that is considered contrary to community standards of justice, honesty, or good morals”.[1]
It is of great importance for immigration purposes, as only those offences which are defined as involving moral turpitude are considered bars to immigration into the USA.
