So lately I've been looking for research on the development of immigration laws since the 1920's. Most of the research consists of several article that have been published and archived in a couple of rare websites. What I find very interesting about the immigration laws, however, is that there seems to be a roller-coaster pattern in regard to the attitude towards immigrants, all the way until the 9/11 incident.
I plan on using this and much more research that I've found (including how certain political groups started using 9/11 to their advantage with scare tactics) whenever I start talking to people about the group. All I think I need to do now do just a little more research on demographics and talk to my panel members to see what I can do.
You hint at some good stuff here. Tell us more?
ReplyDeleteWell I looked at some of bill's passed since the 1900's. I had found this website back in 2009, when I was working on an english project about the melting pot,
ReplyDeleteIt shows how the immigration improved slowly after the problems during the Japan conflicts.
After 9-11 though, it got very strict because people were being targeted, especially Muslims, and then the Narcs in Mexico gave a bad image to Hispanics. This is another link that explains a lot. http://borderbattles.ssrc.org/Tirman/
