  • State and Local Immigration Regulation in the United States Before 1882
    BENJAMIN J. KLEBANER STATE AND LOCAL IMMIGRATION REGULATION IN THE UNITED STATES BEFORE 1882 The absence of significant federal regulation in the area of immigration legislation until 1882 1 no more denotes a laissez-faire approach in this area than in many other aspects of American economic life. For many generations Congress had left the task of regulating the immigrant stream to the states and localities.2 The first general federal law (1882) is best understood in the context of antecedent activity on the local level. Eventually most of the seaboard states, including many without an important passenger traffic, enacted statutes dealing with immi- gration. Table I presents a brief outline of their essential features. After a consideration of certain aspects of the provisions of these laws, their administration in the major seaports will be surveyed. It will then be shown how the increasing opposition by business inter- ests to state legislation, culminating in decisions by the Supreme Court declaring such regulation unconstitutional, eventually paved the way for the 1882 Act of Congress. I. THE STATUTORY BACKGROUND Nine of the thirteen colonies reflected in their enactments the desire to protect the community from the burden of foreigners likely to 1 Federal space and sanitation requirements, however, date back to 1819. Federal legis- lation is conveniently compiled in U.S. Immigration Commission, Reports, vol. XXXIX (Washington, 1911). Cf. John Higham, Strangers in the Land (New Brunswick, N. J.; Rutgers University Press, 1955), p. 44. This article does not discuss legislation enacted in a number of states which barred foreign convicts. - The author acknowledges with gratitude the many helpful suggestions made by Professor Carter Goodrich, who super- vised his doctoral thesis "Public Poor Relief in America, 1790-1860" (Columbia University, 1952) from which much of the material for this article is taken.

  • Module 3 Social Structure and Social Change Lecture 16 Systems Of
    NPTEL – Humanities and Social Sciences – Introduction to Sociology Module 3 Social Structure and Social Change Lecture 16 Systems of Stratification Historically, societies have exhibited a variety of stratification systems. A stratification system is the overlapping manner in which societal members are ranked into classes, status groups and hierarchies of power. To distinguish among them, social scientists use models, abstract conceptions that they place on a particular continuum. At one extreme of the continuum is the closed, or caste, stratification system. The middle is represented by the estate system. At the other extreme is the open, or class, system. The Closed Society: Caste Whether a society has an open or a closed stratification system is determined by the way its members obtain wealth, prestige and privilege. In a closed, or caste, stratification system, class, status and power are ascribed, that is, determined strictly on the basis of family inheritance rather than individual effort or merit. In a closed society, the individual is born into a specific social stratum, called a caste, and has no opportunity to move in or out of it. Classical India offers a glaring example of a closed society. The case system that languished in India for centuries was distinguished by the fact that people were divided into a number of castes, representing areas of service to society and ranked in order of their so-called importance to it. Some ranking also resulted from struggles for power or conquest by other groups. Religion and tradition forbade members of one caste to intermarry or interact in any way with members of other castes.

Panel members, appointed by the Governor or the NYS Legislature, are volunteers with a breadth of experience and knowledge in child welfare practice and law, social work, education, and technology, among other areas. Each of the three Panels has up to 13 members. Of those members, the Governor appoints seven, and the Senate President and Speaker of the Assembly appoint three each. The Western Panel covers the 17 counties in the western region of the State. The New York City Panel covers the five boroughs of New York City. The Eastern Panel covers the remaining 40 counties. The Panels are authorized by both State and Federal law to examine the policies, procedures, and practices of the state and local departments of social services and, where appropriate, the outcome of specific cases. The Panels are authorized to hold public hearings and to evaluate the extent to which the agencies are effectively discharging their child protection responsibilities. The Panels have reasonable access to public and private facilities receiving public funds to provide child welfare services within the Panel jurisdiction.

The present research addresses both of these literature gaps by examining how individuals in global, distributed, electronic networks of practice allocate status in a legitimate hierarchy. Taking as its context one of the first of these organizations – the SAP Community Network – this dissertation employed the DELPHI Method, AllOurIdeas.org, and panel data to leverage a research design that kept distinct status antecedents and outcomes, and yielded five distinct contributions to knowledge.

Parental Incarceration and Social Status Attainment of Hispanic Young Adults Abstract The fact that parental incarceration has become a common event in the life course of many children is troubling. Using structural equation modeling, the present study investigates how immigrant generational status, family socio-economic background interact with parental incarceration to influence status attainment for Hispanic young adults. Three indicators of status attainment in young adulthood are used as outcome variables ─ educational attainment, wage and job quality. Results indicate that parental incarceration has a strong and negative influence on all three indicators of attained status. Most importantly, we found that parental incarceration mediates influence of immigrant generational status and family socio-economic background on status attainment of Hispanic young adults.

  • Status Inconsistency in an 'Artificial Practice'*
    Status inconsistency in an 'artificial practice'* ALBERT JACOB, M.D., M.R.C.G.P. Dundee THE study of the'artificial practice' was a logical development from an earlier study of people who required late calls (Jacob 1963). In that study, the evidence was that people who required non-urgent late calls were more likely to be in the middle intelligence range, to have high neuroticism and to have a high demand for medical attention in general. These results were not in strict agreement with the results of the 'artificial practice'. In the 'artificial practice' I found that low intelligence, introversion and neuroticism are personal characteristics associated with a high demand for medical attention. Demand for medical attention and social class were not associated. Part of the disagreement can be explained by the different method of assessing demand for medical attention between the two studies. In the earlier late call study this was done by an ad hoc classification choosing six items of service in the year as the criterion for high demand. In the 'artificial practice' the criterion was nine items of service and people who had this number or less were called perimean because they fell within the mean figure observed in all the reports which I had been able to consult in the planning stage; those with ten or more items were called supramean because they were above this level. This difference in classification was not sufficient fully to explain the discrepancy between the two results. Another important difference between the two studies was the method of assessing intelligence.
