    Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder September 2005 Keeping Extremists Out The History of Ideological Exclusion, and the Need for Its Revival By James R. Edwards, Jr. America has often faced the threat of foreigners promoting radical ideologies, including Jacobinism, anarchism, communism, fascism, and now Islamism. It is an unavoidable consequence of mass immigration. The higher the level of immigration, the more likely it is that individuals espousing hatred and violence toward America will gain entry. But whatever the level of immigration, excluding or removing noncitizens from the United States based on their promotion of such beliefs (“ideological exclusion”) can help to protect the country. Historically such efforts have played this role, especially during the 20th century. With the end of the Cold War, Congress effectively repealed ideological exclusion, meaning that only active terrorists on watch lists could be barred, while those promoting the ideologies of such terrorists would have to be admitted. To end this vulnerability, ideological exclusion should be restored, allowing aliens to be excluded or deported not only for overt acts but also for radical affiliations or advocacy. Such grounds for exclusion and removal should be based on characteristics common to the many varieties of extremism, rather than target a specific ideology. Maintaining control over aliens who wish to enter the United States and over those who already have crossed America’s borders has been a guiding principle of American immigration policy since colonial days. Many of the Founding Fathers, notably many of those who served in the earliest Congresses, sought to ensure that only foreigners who embraced American ideals and republican principles would gain admittance — and it was expected that any who displayed disloyal views after arrival would be deported.

  • Foundations and Private Actors
    Foundations and Private Actors Carol Adelman and Yulya Spantchak Abstract While Official Development Assistance (ODA) comprised the majority of resource flows in international development during much of the twentieth century, today private money, composed of philanthropy, remittances, and investment, significantly surpasses ODA. Additionally, with increased remittances, a more skilled labor force, open markets, and rise of communication technology, the developing world has also changed. Private actors in developing countries are taking on a larger role in the assistance process. These private flows have fundamentally transformed the way foreign aid is delivered: the private sector, with more flexibility and higher risk tolerance, is more likely to fund programs that government aid may not. This paradigm shift offers a great opportunity to reinvent official aid, allowing the aid community to better focus on Chapter 47 Page 1 Carol Adelman and Yulya Spantchak Foundations and Private Actors results, demand-driven development, transparency, and sustainability. This chapter covers the value of private flows, the actors involved, future developments in private-sector involvement in foreign assistance, and the impact of private flows on the development landscape. Keywords: Official Development Assistance, philanthropy, foreign aid, private development assistance, public-private partnerships, emerging economies, civil society Chapter 47 Page 2 Carol Adelman and Yulya Spantchak Foundations and Private Actors Introduction Traditionally, international development practitioners have placed value on government actors on both the donor and the receiver side. Official Development Assistance (ODA) often manifests itself in the transfer of public monies from a donor government into the hands of a recipient government. During much of the twentieth century, official flows comprised the majority of resource flows in international development.
