Year 6, Special Issue, 2011 E-Verify vs. Real Reform: What It Means for Immigrants, Their Communities and the U.S. Economy ELIZABETH O’C ONNOR * There is widespread consensus across the United States that the nation’s imm igration system is broken. However, a divisive and angry debate rages as to what to do. Some call for closed borders, building massive walls, and deportation of “those people” who come to take away jobs from Americans. Others call for humane reform, including total amnesty and the recognition of mobility as a human right. Most Americans find them - selves somewhere in the middle –descendents of immigrants (this author has ancestors from Ireland and Poland), sympathetic to those striving for a better life for their families, interested in new cultures, but fearful of the imp act on overburdened local schools, hospitals, social services, and jobs. The result is that no one is happy with the current system, including em- ploy ers, state officials, anti-immigrant forces, immigrant rights advocates , and immigrants themselves (Sherer, 2010).

  • Ellis Island Background Information
    Ellis Island Background Information 1) Overview and Preface a) Why were people coming to America? i) There were economic and political crises, mainly in Europe, that forced people to leave their native lands. Crop failures and subsequent famines, economic collapses, religious persecution, political upheaval and revolutions were just some of the reasons that people fled from their homes. Many simply left to live in a society where upward mobility was possible. b) Who were these immigrants? Where were they coming from? i) Prior to Ellis Island, Irish people arrived in the mid-19th century during the time of the potato famines. Then, the Germans came in waves from the 1860s to the 1880s. From 1892 to 1924, however, Eastern and Southern Europeans arrived in huge numbers. During the height of immigration, 1892 to 1924, there were close to a million people coming to America every year. Immigration was not only from Europe; many people came from Africa, the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. 1 2 3 c) Why was Ellis Island created? i) Prior to 1892, all immigration was handled independently by each state. There was no national immigration service nor any national immigration laws to regulate the process of immigration. Castle Garden at the Battery was the first New York State immigration facility. ii) In 1892, the US government took over immigration and created the Immigration Service. Ellis Island was chosen as the new immigration facility. d) Why are there hospitals at Ellis Island? i) When an immigration facility admits close to a million people a year, there are going to be many people who are ill and require medical care.

    NATIONAL PARK SERVICE • U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Foundation Document Overview Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island New Jersey and New York Contact Information For more information about the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island Foundation Document, contact: [email protected] or (212) 363-3200 or write to: Superintendent, Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island, Liberty Island, New York, NY 10004 Purpose Significance Significance statements express why Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island resources and values are important enough to merit national park unit designation. Statements of significance describe why an area is important within a global, national, regional, and systemwide context. These statements are linked to the purpose of the park unit, and are supported by data, research, and consensus. Significance statements describe the distinctive nature of the park and inform management decisions, focusing efforts on preserving and protecting the most important resources and values of the park unit. • The statue “Liberty Enlightening the World” is one of the world’s most recognized icons. She endures as a highly potent symbol inspiring contemplation of such ideas as liberty, freedom for all people, human rights, democracy, and opportunity. As a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, the Statue commemorates friendship, democratic government, and the abolition of slavery. Her design, an important technological achievement of its time, continues to represent a bridge between art and engineering. • Ellis Island is the preeminent example of a government immigration and public health operation, the busiest and largest of its time.

  • 1882 Chinese Exclusion
    SOURCE A SOURCE B The Chinese Exclusion Act, 1882 SOURCE A political cartoon entitled “The Chinamen’s Idea of It,” published in The Judge in 1882 BACKGROUND In 1882 Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, the first time it placed a restriction on immigration based on nationality. Chinese laborers had worked on the railroads, and a wave of nativist sentiment, particularly in California, pressured government to restrict Chinese immigration. The ban on Chinese immigration was in effect until 1943. However, the quota for the number of Chinese immigrants who could enter was still very low. It wouldn’t be until 1965, when a new immigration law influenced by the Civil Rights movement passed, that Chinese immigrants could come in significant numbers. GUIDING QUESTIONS As you read the source consider how it informs these questions: • What is the difference between the representatives of other immigrant groups and the Chinese immigrant? • What is the point of view of the artist with regard to the Chinese Exclusion Act? Does he believe it is unfair? IF so, do you think he recommends banning the other immigrant groups in or letting in the Chinese as well? • The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed a year before Emma wrote the New Colossus. Thus she understood that not everyone in the country welcomed all immigrants. Still, she wrote the poem anyway. Do you think people who supported the Chinese Exclusion Act would have liked the New Colossus poem? Why or why not? HISTORICAL NOTES Definitions of terms used in the source. The Judge: A weekly satirical paper which ran from 1881-1947 Castle Garden: From 1855-1890, this was the immigration reception center for New York City.
