Influence of U.S. immigration laws on Chinese immigration, United States, 1980 to 2002Luo, Hua 29 August 2005 (has links)
Historically, Chinese immigrants to the United States are a special group. They were
or almost were banned from 1882 to 1968. Since in 1968 the United States abolished
national origin quotas and eliminated national, race, or ancestry as a basis for
immigration, thousands of Chinese immigrants came to the United States. The total
population of Chinese immigrants to the US between 1980 and 2002 was 911,220,
whereas it was 136,843 between 1891 and 1979. Not only did the population of Chinese
immigrants have great change, the quality of Chinese immigrants also had substantial
difference from those immigrated in the last century. However, there are very limited
literatures focusing on the dynamics of Chinese immigration in these twenty years, which
is the most important time period for Chinese immigration.
The following study tries to describe the dynamics of Chinese immigration to the
United States between 1980 and 2002; and analyze the influence of the American
immigration laws on Chinese immigration. The dynamics of Chinese immigrants are
described and analyzed by different migration categories. Other social and economic
factors are added to comprehensively understand the change of Chinese immigration.

Socio-histoire de l’observation statistique de l’altérité : principes de classification coloniale, nationale et migratoire en France et en Allemagne (1880-2010) / A socio-histoire of the statistical construction of otherness : colonial, national and migratory classification principles in France and Germany (1880-2010)Renard, Léa 04 April 2019 (has links)
Pour pouvoir comprendre le virage entrepris dans les années 1990 en France et 2000 en Allemagne à travers l’introduction des catégories « immigrés » et « Personen mit Migrationshintergrund », il faut aller chercher dans l’histoire de la statistique ce qui avait tenu lieu de classification principale de la population, en lieu et place des nouvelles catégories inventées au tournant des XXe et XXIe siècles : la nationalité, donc, ainsi que la langue et la « race » dans certains contextes particuliers. Et puis il fallait tester une hypothèse : puisque ce n’était pas un changement d’ordre quantitatif (les mouvements migratoires ont sur la période qui nous intéresse toujours étaient importants quantitativement) qui était à l’origine de ce tournant, quel sort était réservé aux statistiques des migrations auparavant ? Comment est-on passé d’un système de classification de la population basé sur le principe de nationalité à un système de classification basé sur le principe migratoire ? Il fallait donc reconstruire l’évolution conjointe et parallèle de ces deux principes, pour identifier les moments où ceuxci sont entrés en collision, se sont croisés, pour de nouveau s’éloigner, et, aujourd’hui, être de nouveau réunis. Ces reconstructions historiques d’objets bien évidemment hétérogènes n’ont de sens qu’à la lumière de leur union actuelle, d’où est issue l’énigme à l’origine de cette recherche. Ainsi, il s’agissait pour moi de pouvoir, sur le temps long et sur des terrains différents, rechercher les différentes pratiques statistiques de construction de cet « Autre », terme « fourre-tout » qui n’a d’autre signification que celles que lui donnent les différents acteurs aux différentes périodes étudiées dans cette thèse. L’altérité est une démarche, une intuition – celle que ces pratiques, aussi diverses soient-elles, peuvent être analysées dans le cadre d’un même travail académique et être ainsi mises en contact. En tant que tertium comparationis, ce terme permet de rassembler des chantiers extrêmement divers qu’il ne serait pas possible de comparer autrement. Ce qui implique, dans le même temps, de ne pas être dupe du fait que ce terme recouvrait des réalités complètement opposées et diverses en fonction des périodes et des pays étudiées. La première partie analyse le changement qui a eu lieu dans les années 1990-2000 dans la manière de catégoriser statistiquement migration et nationalité en France et en Allemagne. Peut-on parler d’une déinstitutionnalisation du principe classificatoire de la nationalité ? La deuxième partie reconstruit sur la période 1880-1920 césures et continuités dans les catégories utilisées dans l’Empire français (incluant la France métropolitaine) et l’Empire allemand pour classer la population et mesurer les migrations. La troisième partie compare systématiquement les résultats empiriques de la première et la deuxième partie, pour les deux périodes et les deux pays, afin de tirer des conclusions générales et théoriques sur les mécanismes de catégorisations statistiques. / My PhD project consists in historicizing and deconstructing statistical categories on migration and integration in France and Germany, by focusing on the scientific controversies on these topics in both countries. In order to do so, the project is grounded in the principles of historical sociology and uses a comparative design over time and across two countries. My research questions migration as a public problem per se and integration as a “natural” political answer to this problem. Comparing both countries over time, the research explores the role of official statistics in the nation building process in the second part of the 19th century in France and Germany (1880-1930), as well as in the last decades of the 20th century (1990-2010). To what extent official statistics contributes to the construction of categories of otherness. In the first step, I try to explore the fields of migration and integration statistics in both countries for the second period, by focusing on the collective actors involved in these fields. Second, I focus on two national case studies: 1. the genesis of the category “persons with migration background”, introduced in 2006 into German official statistics as an analytical category; 2. the production of statistical knowledge on 'immigrants' in France (1990-2010). Third, I focus on the transformations of the patterns of interpretation of migration in a historical perspective. The empirical study is based on content analysis of documents (statistical reports) and semi-structured interviews.

In the Wake of Immigration : estimating how immigration tends to affect the economy and the socio-economy of the destination countryLind, Patrik January 2010 (has links)
<p>What is the total, summarized effect of immigration? Up to this date researchers have found both small positive effects and small negative effects for the same variable (e.g. wages or unemployment). As far as I know no one has yet focused on the total effect. With panel data on a bundle of variables for 22 OECD countries between 1970-2007, using multiple regression analysis I will estimate each variable individually and add together the signs of the effects to one combined sign (+/-/0). I find that the total, summarized effect of immigration tends to be slightly positive for OECD destination countries (under my assumptions).</p>

Disparities of (In)Justice: An Examination of the Asylum Adjudication System in the U.S.McIntyre, Meagan L 01 January 2017 (has links)
This study examines decisions of immigration judges from the Miami and Los Angeles immigration courts, analyzing the asylum grant rates of judges in the courts from 2000-2016. In five-year time frames, the study looks at each immigration court and the decisions yielded, amounting up to nearly 86,000 decisions. Examining judges on an individual level, the study also analyzes the outputs of each court collectively. The analysis reveals very distinct disparities in grant rates, showing up to a 70% disparity between judges within the same immigration court. Based on biographies provided by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), this paper explores possible correlations between various extralegal factors of individual immigration judges and their respective asylum grant rates. The results of the analysis showed correlation between gender, political party appointed under and the asylum grant rate, as well as strong correlation between judges’ previous work experience prior to appointment (DHS/INS experience, NGO experience) and the asylum grant rate. Additionally, the analysis reviews case law of the Ninth and Eleventh Circuit Courts, looking at distinct differences in the precedents of asylum law. The paper explores the tension between these judicial entities, the legislative branch, and the executive agencies enforcing the asylum adjudication process in the context of the Los Angeles and Miami immigration courts. The conclusion discusses the implications of the findings, especially in regards to the rapidly changing directives of the current executive administration.

Perspectivas Mexicanas Sobre la Política Migratoria en los Estados Unidos: Hacia un Enfoque BilateralMacdonald, Jeffrey S 01 January 2013 (has links)
This thesis investigates the often neglected Mexican perspective on US immigration policy, contending that effective immigration policy can only be reached through a bilateral, multidimensional approach that incorporates the Mexican perspective. To delineate this perspective, I examine the historical, economic and socio-cultural views of immigration to the US in Mexico. I then evaluate the immigration policies pursued by both the US and Mexican governments through the lens of these Mexican perspectives. I show that current immigration policies and approaches are seriously flawed from the Mexican point of view, and stress that both governments must work to incorporate the Mexican perspective into the current debate over immigration reform in the United States.
