Abstract
This paper suggests Philadelphia's locally oriented economy is a factor preventing the city from becoming a fully functioning global player in the business world. It suggests that Philadelphia could be aided in its transition from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based and information technology economy by bringing in more Asian immigrants. The paper notes Philadelphia's low ranking in terms of the percentage of its population that is made up of Asian immigrants, and in particular Korean immigrants, and then presents a plan that would attract more legal Asian immigrants to the city.
From the Paper
"Just six years ago, in a business research article (Adams, 1997), it was asserted that, in an era of swiftly expanding globalization, Philadelphia is not capable of becoming a fully functioning global player. Indeed, Philly?s ?regional economy is arguably more locally oriented than during its manufacturing heyday,? Adams insists, because you simply can?t export ?services? as well as ?manufactured goods? ? and indeed Philadelphia lost 65% of its manufacturing base between 1970 and 1990. Ms. Adams went on in her article to note that the City of Brotherly Love had recently lost a number of major corporate headquarters to international acquisitions; and that of the 32 seats on the Greater Philadelphia First (GPF) Corporation?s board (in 1997) ? a coalition of chief executive officers of the biggest regional corporations, and other power brokers ? less than half were no longer filled by CEOs, but rather by regional managers."

Abstract
This paper looks at the history of Asian immigration to Hawaii. It explains the impact of the decisions made by politicians at the end of the 1800s to allow Asian immigrants to migrate to assist with sugar cane farming and in other industries. It examines the social consequences of Asian immigration and looks at the contributions made by this population group.
From the Paper
"America is said to be a nation of immigrants, and although Hawaii is not part of the upper 48 states, it holds true to this tradition. Hawaii has a very significant Asian immigrant population that has greatly influenced the culture of the islands. "The first Japanese to set foot in North America were sailors. Typhoons, southerly winter winds, and the kuroshio (black current) sometimes pulled Japanese coastal shipping vessels and fishing boats far out into the Pacific Ocean....According to a nineteenth century study, at least sixty Japanese vessels were pulled out into the Pacific Ocean from 1617 to 1875. It can be safely assumed, however, that the overwhelming majority vanished without a trace and their crews perished at sea." (Van Sant, 22) So although there were Asians making journeys to the Americas long before then, the majority of Asian immigrants came to Hawaii during the nineteenth century when plantations were seeking large,cheap work forces and they invited large groups of immigrants to leave their home countries in search of a better lifestyle. These immigrants had a large impact on Hawaii by bringing pieces of their own Asian cultures with them and integrating those into Hawaiian culture."

Abstract

From the Paper
"When one wonders why Asian-American young people become gang members, they might want to listen to Vietnamese observer Le Xuan Kho. He suggests that Asian-Americans refugees share a common tendency, after coming to America. They like, he says, to cluster together and form community organizations. "[This] can be traced back to a traditional pattern common to all agrarian societies in Southeast Asia," Le says. (Cassidy)"

"Asian people were excluded from entering the United States, until the Immigration Act of 1965. This act allowed immigration from countries such as China, India, Korea, and the Philippines to grow. In addition to the immigration Act of 1965 another law in 1975 created a program of resettlement for refugees fleeing Cambodia and Vietnam. A year later, the program was extended to include Laotians. (People Is Plural)
Vietnamese immigration was slow until 1970 when it began building rapidly through the fall of Saigon in 1975. After that it increase with thousands of Vietnamese were admitted under refugee provisions created in an effort to save a half million South Vietnamese who fled Vietnam in tiny boats. During the highest point of Vietnamese immigration in the mid to late 70s, an average of 120,000 entered Vietnamese people came to the country each year. The Vietnamese American population is the most geographically concentrated among Asian groups. The largest waves of refugees were handled through Camp Pendleton located in Oceanside, California, and most of these Vietnamese immigrants settled in the Westminster area of nearby Orange County.

From the Paper
"With the high level of susceptibility to gender and minority issue, Asian women immigrants have to cope with more challenge than their male fellows do. As immigrants, they need enough fortitude to get along with their new community besides fulfilling personal dreams.
"The problem of discrimination has been continuing since the first group came in America in the middle of 19th century. The earlier generation mainly worked as labors, domestic helpers, even prostitutes. The industrialization era commenced in America in 1870 had attracted mass movements of migrants from other countries and built long establishment after that."

Abstract
This paper discusses the complex character of Jing-Mei Woo in Amy Tan's novel "The Joy Luck Club". It describes her experiences as a second-generation Asian-American and how she is caught between the Asian world and the Western world. The paper argues that Jing-Mei's difficulties are common to many Asian-Americans and Asian-American immigrants.
From the Paper
"Note that in both of these examples, there is no talk of assimilation. Rather, the goal is to retain an Asian identity, while at the same time adopting aspects of the American culture that are seen as desirable, and as congruent with an Asian identity. This seems to be a goal for many Asian-American immigrants. It certainly seems to be a goal that Suyuan sets for Jing-Mei. After all, she both reminds her that she will always be Chinese, while at the same time exhorting her to excel in the ways of the Americans. The latter is unrealistic, as she takes it to extremes. It is left to Jing-Mei to figure out what is possible for her in her new culture, and what is not. However, to do so she also has to get in touch with her Chinese roots - as she does by visiting her sisters."

The Chinese Exclusion Act & its repeal. Internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Post WWII immigration reform policies. Increase in Asians immigrating to the U.S. after 1965.
From the Paper
"Unlike European immigrants, Asian immigrants have been victimized by U.S. policies that allowed the institutionalization of racial discrimination. During the 1870's, 70,000 Chinese found their way to the US because of economic distress and dislocation on the Mainland, a figure which rose to over 100,000 in the 1880's. Racism against Asians and the fear of competition brought in by foreign workers who were willing to work in unskilled jobs for extremely low wages brought about the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This Act made it unlawful for laborers of Chinese descent to enter the US. This prohibition was further enlarged in 1888 to encompass 'all persons of Chinese race' origins.
Large numbers of specific immigrant groups (Mexicans, Haitians) have often lead to resentment and result in calls from ..."

"ASIAN AMERICAN MIGRATION FROM CITIES TO SUBURBS
Introduction
This research reviews the migration of Asian Americans from cities to suburbs. While such migration has not been extensive, the process is accelerating in the last decade of the twentieth century. Because Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing population groups in the United States, the extent of Asian American migration within the country is significant to the future demographic character of the country.
Formation of Immigrant Communities in the United States

The Asian-American Immigrant, 2004.
A discussion of the Asian-American culture through a review of their literature.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the way the literature of a certain culture portrays that culture. The focus of this paper is on the Asian-American immigrant population. The paper examines and compares two novels written by Asian-Americans, "China Boy" by Gus Lee and "The Hundred Secret Senses" by Amy Tan. The paper contends that the two novels share similarities in setting, the role of multiple languages and the belief in the Chinese spirit world. Nevertheless, the paper points out that these similarities exist only in the most general sense; these three shared themes are dealt with very differently in each book.
From the Paper
"The United States of America is a country of immigrants. Throughout the history of our nation, people from all over the world have come to the United States. Disparate as their reasons for new so may be, all immigrants had to learn to cope with a similar situation. Living in a new and, to them, foreign nation, the immigrants had to come to terms with both their present and their past and how the two could be integrated. What that de facto meant is that the immigrants and their children had, in order to become successfully a part of the culture of the United State, to reconcile the culture of their homeland with American culture. This reconciliation was often unwilling or forced, and often fraught with problems. Nevertheless, immigrants often wanted to keep part of their old customs, even while adapting to America. In the twentieth century, America has experienced a wave of non-European immigrants."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine factors that led to changes in patterns of Asian American immigration in recent years. The plan of the research will be to set forth the background that makes exploration of these changes relevant and then to discuss the changes in more detail as well as the most important reasons that they came about.
The main factor of change in patterns of Asian immigration to America in the twentieth century can be summed up in two words from the title of the book edited by Ong, Bonacich, and Cheng: global restructuring, specifically shifts in the distribution of industrial priorities and division of labor for the benefit of holders and controllers of capital. Political policies can be seen to have played a role in this process, such as for example the Immigration Act ..."

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."
