Abstract
This paper explains that, while immigrants and ethnic minorities in France should be allowed to freely practice their religion and abide by their key cultural values, they should respect the national culture and abandon practices that threaten the national identity and culture of their new country. It argues that this should especially be the case when those practices are opposed to the French principles of equality, liberty, and secularism. This does not mean that immigrants or ethnic minorities are not allowed to practice their culture or respect their values and religious principles, but they should do so in a way that does not conflict with the values of the national culture of the country that they decided to immigrate to.
From the Paper
"During the past decades, European countries opened their borders to immigrants from former colonies and Third World countries. They gave immigrants the opportunity to settle in these countries, gain citizenship and acquire economic and political benefits. However, few countries in Europe have been so generous to immigrants as France. Michel Gurfinkiel, the editor in chief of one of France's most popular conservative weekly magazines, Valeurs Actuelles, implies this in his article "Islam in France: The French Way of Life Is In Danger." As mentioned by Gurfinkiel, due to France's generous attitude towards immigrants, especially from its former colonies, almost one-fifth of the French population are immigrants or descendants of immigrants and 5,000,000 are Arab and Muslim (Gurfinkiel). For many in France, the "multiethnic" character of French society is endangering French culture (Gurfinkiel). Certainly, it is very easy to state that those who think that French culture is endangered by its immigrant population are exaggerating the issue. However, it is not an exaggeration because the French experiment of multiculturalism, according to the sociologist Wallace E. Lambert in "Assimilation vs. Multiculturalism: Views from a Community in France," has not been successful (389-390)."

"According to Canadian Arabophile Baha Abu Laban, the wave of Arab immigration to Canada can be traced to 1882, when Syrian-Lebanese immigrants began to arrive in Montreal. This immigration was marginal until 1945, when it began increasing on an annual basis (Abu Laban, 1991). The Canadian Encyclopedia (1998) points out that by 1991, 151,125 Canadians claimed Arab single origin and a further 52,820 claimed Arab multiple origins (i.e., Arab plus one or 2 other ethnic classifications), for a total of 203,945 Arab-origin Canadians.
That figure was, in 1998, estimated to be some 300,000 citizens. The Encyclopedia also points out the major distinction that ??Arab Canadian? does not refer to one religious affiliation, country of origin or distance from the immigration generation but to the mixture of ..."

In this article, the writer discusses the role of immigration and anti-immigrant fears in American politics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The writer looks at the volume and character of immigration and its economic impact. The writer discusses big city machines, Red scare and Palmer raids. Further, the writer examines how immigration became a major factor in American national politics.
From the Paper
"Immigration developed as a major factor in American politics during the late 19th century, due to the large scale of immigration, the new and more diverse origins of the immigrants and the resulting social and economic tensions. Immigration contributed to the growth of big-city political machines and after World War I fear of immigrant radicals triggered the first great Red scare in American national politics. Thus, immigration and the fear of immigration and immigrants played a major role in ... "

Abstract
This paper applies the identity theory to the case of immigration in the United States. It asks if the United States should continue to allow Immigrants to enter the U.S. seeking refuge and citizenship, when the nations states are already overly populated? It questions whether immigrants should be allowed to enter the U.S. and work when there are hundreds of citizens and native-born Americans already unemployed and desperately searching for work. It uses these questions as example of the conflicting messages immigrants and their children face in modern day society, and explains how they add to the increasingly complex problem of finding identity in a torn nation.
From the Paper
"The United States is world known for its ethnic diversity, due in part to the immigration allowed over several years. Many people however, fail to find a means to foster inter-racial and ethnic identities, thus causing much conflict and a lack of a uniform sense of identity. The social issue relates to finding a common identity in a nation of multi-ethnicities. Children of immigrants are now coming of age, and from a social psychological stand will make the most lasting impression on society. The character of society will be shaped by their experiences."

This paper discusses business practices in Arab dominated countries in the Middle East.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the overall nature of business practices in the Middle East as it pertains to Arab culture. Emphasis is given to Arab language in that the communication barrier itself must be overcome as well as to particular speech patterns within the Arabic culture that differ greatly from Western languages. Dress and behavior patterns are touched upon as are woman and how to navigate certain situations related to woman. Finally, some discussion is devoted to employment practices in the Arab region as it pertains to a foreign entity.
From the Paper
"In considering business practices in Arab dominated countries the two single most important factors are the Arabic language itself and the Muslim religion. Arabic is a part of the culture and every effort should be made acclimatize oneself to it: "The Arabic language, which Muslims respect as the language of God, has had an enormous influence on Arab culture and character". Yet, while the language creates a formidable barrier insofar as business practices are concerned, the Muslim faith and its interweaving with all things social and political create a much greater difficulty for non-Muslim, non-Arab business entities intent on undertaking a business venture in an Arab country. The Muslim faith is dominant throughout the Middle East and, in fact, dominates many of the regions governing bodies as well."

Lebanese Immigration, 2005.
Examines the political and economic reasons for immigration from Lebanon to Western countries.
1,635 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, even if some Arabs chose to immigrate to the West because of violent and terrorist intentions, an analysis of the cause behind Arab immigration, focusing on the Lebanese people, shows that terrorism was not the motivation for their immigration. The paper shows that the real reasons were to escape from human rights abuse or to provide a better economic life for themselves and their families.
From the Paper
"Immigration becomes an escape from poverty, instability and fear to a stable and secure life which people have a right to. On the other hand, one can equally argue that in these circumstances, immigration is not only an escape from poverty and security but it is an escape from the responsibility that citizens have towards their country. Had the Lebanese decided to reject the option of immigration and put all their energies into stabilizing, improving and developing their country's economy, maybe the economic problems motivating immigration would have been solved."

Abstract
This paper will focus on a series of issues. Initially, the question of illegal immigration and undocumented aliens will be considered. Subsequently, broader reforms to American immigration policy will be considered. Essentially, it will be argued that illegal immigration and the employment of undocumented aliens is a problem that needs to be addressed while the assertion that immigration in general is problematic will be dismissed. America has historically been a nation of immigrants and it can continue to be so. However, illegal entry must be controlled.

From the Paper
"Immigrants live differently than American low income families. They house four or five adults in a small apartment and share the rent without concern to cramped living quarters and bleak conditions. Immigrants pool their resources so that they can easily manage the high cost of living in America. As a result, landlords increase the rent because the supply is being filled by immigrants. Low income families who have one or two wage earners with wages of eight, nine or ten dollars find it increasingly difficult to compete with immigrants who have four or five adult incomes contributing."

Immigration, 2002.
A discussion of the issues of immigration and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

Abstract
This paper describes the role of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in dealing with immigrants and in particular with the disparities in immigration policy for different groups and the long-term detention of immigrants who have committed no crime. It looks at the current system and its pros and cons as well as providing a literature review and relevant statistics. It examines how the central concern since 9-11 has been that the INS improve their system in order to prevent another terorist attack. It evaluates what improvements to the system are required such as a way to screen applicants more carefully in order to weed out anyone who can be considered a security risk, finding a way to keep track of immigrants once they are admitted and reshaping the system so it puts the security of Americans first and the convenience of the applicants for immigration second.
From the Paper
"In 1999, the INS deported 62,359 legal permanent immigrants for such crimes, a jump of nearly 75 percent since the laws took effect, and another 72,000 were allowed to leave voluntarily. Some 4,000 of the criminal immigrants being held today are from such countries as Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. They are being held as detainees who once committed a crime, not as criminals, and yet they could be serving life sentences, because their countries will not accept them back. They remain behind bars unless granted rare releases on bond. Immigration attorneys say that the Anti Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act and the Immigrant Responsibility Act strip U.S. immigration judges of nearly all the discretion they once had."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that illegal immigration is one of the biggest controversies and highly debated issue in the United States of America. The writer maintains that the impact of illegal immigration on the U.S economy is omnipresent with the U.S economy falling while emerging economies are making significant progress. The writer notes that many economists believe that the illegal immigration into America is a kind of economic war being waged against the Americans. The law makers and the officials in the Government have taken notice of the growing impact of illegal immigrants on the U.S economy and have taken steps to amend the existing laws so as to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the United States of America. The writer discusses that apart from the economic impact, illegal immigration has brought with it other social, religious and security problems. The writer looks at the different faces of illegal immigration and its effects on Americans.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the most profound impacts is the decrease in the wages of low skilled workers in America. Jobs that Americans refuse to take because of lower wages are now being taken up by illegal immigrants. This has resulted in unemployment among the Americans. American companies often prefer foreign workers who work harder for a lesser pay than the American citizens. This has lead to improper distribution of income and increased the gap between the rich and poor American citizens. Another reason why the American companies prefer foreign employees is both the employer and employee can easily escape from paying taxes to the Government. The undocumented workers do not pay their taxes. In the case of American employees the taxes are deducted from their pay roll. Although illegal immigrants increase the profits for their employers they hurt the American taxpayers. Since most of the illegal immigrants have low educational qualification and low skill level they are most employed for lower wages in poor working condition mostly in underworld economies. Hence the illegal immigrants easily evade the payment of taxes without their knowledge."

Public Opinion and Immigration, 2007.
A review of public opinion towards immigration based on the results of scientific public polling.

Abstract
This paper identifies the focus of research questions used by public opinion scientists to frame the issue of immigration in their studies. The author discusses the known attitudes of Americans towards immigration, including overall public opinion, specific attitudes of significant demographics and relevant research trends. The paper concludes that, even though public opinion regarding immigration is both socially and politically important, research on this topic is still relatively limited. The author points out that polls indicate that, while generally Americans do not support increased immigration, the overall public believes that immigration has benefited the country as a whole but has negatively affected certain economic and social issues. The author underscores that researchers have suggested that family relations and friendships with recent immigrants have shown to produce positive attitudes towards immigration while feelings of prejudice typically coincide with restrictionist immigration views. The paper includes tables.

Peter Burns and James Gimpel: Prejudice Fueled by Economic Anxiety
Charles Chandler and Tsai Yung-mei: Ranging Social Factors
Conclusion
From the Paper
"A more likely explanation for this gap is represented by the public's combined ignorance, and even sometimes apathy towards immigration legislation. Take, for example, the Gallup polls surveying public opinion towards the proposed 2007 immigration bill. Despite extensive news coverage and the fact that this poll was conducted just days before Congress was scheduled to debate the bill, the number of respondents claiming to have paid attention to the legislation is discouraging. 40% admit to paying little or no attention to the issue, 42% were somewhat attentive while only 18% followed the bill closely."

U.S.A. Immigration, 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although historically on the surface U.S.A. policy has maintained an open door towards immigration, more established immigrant groups and nationalities have discouraged immigration from nations and ethnicities other than their own. The author points out that given the impending health care crisis and the pressure on the educational system, currently, America's immigration laws are under attack for being too lax on both legal aliens and illegal immigrants. The paper relates that the proponents of the latest immigration laws hold to the premise that it is impossible to prevent immigrants from entering the U.S. through legal or illegal means; therefore, legal methods of obtaining citizenship should be proposed even for less favored immigrants.
From the Paper
"Doubtlessly, the United States policy regarding immigration has ceaselessly demanded that foreign peoples conform to our culture, religion, language, and preferably be of our race. The general fear is loss of our way of life; loss of our jobs, degradation of our language, loss of our vast open spaces, weakening of the economy, and loss of our identity. To many people these threats are very real; presently the U.S. takes in almost half of the world's immigrants; this suggests that if there were no regulations, drastic changes would come about."

Abstract
This paper discusses how immigration in the era of mass immigration, 1850 to about 1920, differed from other periods, and what changed in the experiences of immigrants. The paper examines the start of immigrant communities based on ethnicity and looks at how improvements in transportation enabled mass immigration.
From the Paper
"The United States is overwhelmingly a country of immigrants in the sense that nearly all Americans or their ancestors came from elsewhere in the last few centuries. Only the Native Americans, less than one percent of the population, are descended from peoples who had lived in what is now the United States for thousands of years. Moreover with the important exception of African-Americans, most of the people who immigrated to the United States or to what would become the United States did so..."

Race and Immigration in Early 20th Century America, 2008.
A discussion of race and immigration in late 19th and early 20th century America, focussing on the case of "United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind," and the 1924 Immigration Act.

Abstract
This paper examines how, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a national debate regarding the immigration of several ethnic groups to the United States led to two major legal decisions, Thind v. United States (1923) which attempted to clarify the "Meaning of White," and the Immigration Act of 1924. Thind, a native inhabitant of India, was found ineligible for American citizenship because his physical appearance was "distinctively different" from what was defined as being white. The writer explains that this and many other racially-biased opinions were further propagated and supported by the Immigration Act of 1924. The paper concludes that, although the act was revised in 1952, it nonetheless strengthened purely racially-based viewpoints on people from different cultures and on immigration into the United States.
From the Paper
"In essence, the racial/immigration debate in American society in the early days of the 20th century centered on one very simple question--what exactly is an American? With the first question, part of the answer appears to revolve around labor and employment, for in 1908, Samuel Gompers, one of the founders and original leaders of the AFL (American Federation of Labor) points out that white Americans were losing thousands of jobs to Asians, especially the Chinese and those whom he calls "Mongolian." Gomper's main argument is that "Mongolians" have made it nearly impossible for white Americans to obtain jobs involving menial labor, such as working in a factory or some other type of industry that manufactures household goods and clothing."
