  • Significant Developments in the Immigration Laws of the United States 1986
    Synopsis SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE IMMIGRATION LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES 1986 This Synopsis highlights significant legal developments which oc- curred in immigration law in 1986. The Supreme Court decided only one immigration case during this period, dealing with the definition of "child" in Immigration and Nationality Act section 244 suspension of deportation cases. The lower federal courts were highly active, dealing with a wide range of important immigration issues. The most significant development in 1986 was the passage by the 99th Congress of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Passage of IRCA culminates six years of con- gressional attempts to reach an agreement on immigration reform. Seemingly cutting both ways, IRCA provides tough employer sanctions while offering generous legalization provisions and mul- tiple safeguards for the humane administrationof new policies. INTRODUCTION By presidential proclamation, July 4, 1986, was declared "Na- tional Immigrants Day."' On Liberty Weekend, "all America cele- brate[d] the memory of those hardy immigrants, who, symbolically at least, looked up and saw the Statue of Liberty lifting her lamp beside the golden door. It [was] a time to smile, to weep, to sigh contentedly."' 2 Meanwhile, despite widespread sympathy for immi- 1. Proclamation No. 5510, 51 Fed. Reg. 24, 509 (1986). The presidential procla- mation reads, in pertinent part: Since 1820, more than 52 million immigrants have come to the United States from all over the world. They have sought and found a new and better life for themselves and their children in this land of liberty and opportunity. The mag- net that draws them is freedom and the beacon that guides them is hope.

  • July Fourth Celebration Too Commercial?
    The Harris Survey For Release: Monday AM, June 30th, 1986 1986 .38 ISSN 0273-1037 JULY FOURTH CELEBRATION TOO COMMERCIAL? By Louis Barris Although a big 81 percent of the American people express interest in the July .th Statue of Liberty Celebration, under the surface the American people have a number of reservations about the event. It will not be just an all-out flood tide of patriotic ~~ti~n.li.z d~ri"~ this ne:t W~~~. Here are some of the criticisms of the celebration and on the way it has been handled, according to a national cross section of 1,250 adults interviewed by telephone between June 11th and 16th in a recent Barris Survey: -- By 49-43 percent, a plurality nationwide go along with the criticiam that -the celebration has been made too commercial with corporations trying to get too much publicity for helping pay for restoring the Statue of Liberty.­ Following the plan that was devised to pay for the u.S. participation in the 198. Olympics, the committee in charge of the event has designated special sponsors who in turn have contributed major sums of money. These sponsors then have advertised their sponsor role, presumably to get public credit for their good works. In addition, the television rights to the event were sold exclusively to ABC Television, which caused much uproar. This kind of commercial association with such patriotic events apparently now is beginning to arouse some reservations and criticism from the pUblic itself. -- In addition, by only the narrowest of margins, 47-.6 percent, a plurality of the American public does not agree with the criticism that -because the Statue of Liberty is a national monument, the cost of restoring it should have been paid for by the federal government and not big business and private individuals.- The practice of having the private sector pay for such national events has grown during the Reagan years.

  • Lady Liberty: Intertextual Performances of Gender and Nation
    LADY LIBERTY: INTERTEXTUAL PERFORMANCES OF GENDER AND NATION Parisa Joyce A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2008 Committee: Dr. Ronald E. Shields, Advisor Dr. Wendell Mayo Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Jonathan Chambers Dr. Lesa Lockford ii ABSTRACT Dr. Ronald E. Shields, Advisor This study explores how a variety of artistic representations of the Statue of Liberty have worked over the past half-century to reflect aspects of nation through the gendered performances of a particular set of American women as ideal constructs, objects for commodification and consumption. The first inquiry explores the play entitled Miss Liberty, written by Robert E. Sherwood, with lyrics and music by Irving Berlin, and first produced in 1949. Although conceived as an historical play loosely based on fact, the play provides a unique perspective on women’s roles in society during the late 1940s. On the one hand the play forces nostalgic ideas of nationalism and outmoded views of women, while on the other, exposes a mid-twentieth century response to rising feminist thought and behavior. The second exploration discusses construction of the feminine ideal as presented through the popular film Miss Congeniality and the ritual of the national beauty pageant. As the bodies of the contestants conflate with those codes established by/for Lady Liberty in the film, they drive a more complex impulse that refashions women as adornments for a national concern. Consequently, this film works to strengthen our relationship with our most revered national icon, formalizing further our collective gender-driven national mythologies, and ultimately memorializing limiting conditions of feminine performance, agency, and ideals of American womanhood.
