"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 presents an analysis of how media representations of Asians and Hispanics in the U.S. film and television industry have become less stereotypical in light of various trends.
From the Paper
"The values, beliefs and customs of the dominant group in society are often reinforced by social institutions like the government, business, education and the media. The establishment of images in the media reinforces the values of the dominant group in American society, primarily white male Anglo-Saxon Protestants. When immigrant groups or other cultures are portrayed in the media quite often their representation is portrayed as somehow inferior to the superior portrayals of the dominant cultural group."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the under-regulated stock market, real estate ventures and currency instability in the Asian economy that resulted in world-wide financial crisis. This paper explores the events in the stock markets in Thailand, Manila, Singapore and Hong Kong that were extremely profitable for a short time, only to crash soon after, leaving countless people owing billions of dollars and the economies of many Asian nations in shambles. The writer of this well-researched paper discusses how banks in the U.S. suffered greatly because of fraud in Singapore as well as in trading in derivatives, which when the various nations' economies sank, so did the value of these investments. This paper also examines the tug of war between Asian exports and imports and their impact on the American economy.

From the Paper
"A staid old British banking institution, Baring Brothers, decided to enter the Asian derivatives field, and so sent a number of young traders, including Nick Leeson, first to Indonesia, then, based on his success, to Singapore. He used this great distance from the home office to trade in his own account, using the firm's money, as well as investments from other international banks. Because of the volatility of the market (and natural disasters like the Kobe earthquake) he first made poor judgment calls which had him owing 170 million pounds (about. $225 million). At the end, he was in the red (or, rather Baring's was) in the amount of $1.5 billion. When discovered, he and his wife fled, but were eventually arrested. This one man's greedy fraud had caused Baring's to go bankrupt, and caused a ripple effect in the U.S. where similar derivatives investments turned sour."

Abstract
This paper explores Asian immigration to the United States during the 1970s. It describes the impact Asian immigration had on America since that time, the different Asian groups who arrived and the social and political reasons for their voyage to America. The author writes that Asian immigration to the U.S. began over a century ago, in 1830 Chinese immigrants entered New York, since then Asian immigrants have become one of largest foreign-born groups in America. The paper introduces a Taiwanese immigrant, Wu Hsiung Chu and presents the details of his life in Taiwan and his immigration to the United States of America.
From the Paper
"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
"By the summer of 1993, the related issues of illegal immigration and immigration reform had become leading political questions, particularly in California. When President Clinton visited California in mid-1993, he and his aids were "stunned" by the number of questions they were asked about immigration (Lauter, 1993).
As the immigration reform issue reached the forefront of public consciousness, its politics became more complicated. on the one hand, independent 1992 presidential candidate Ross Perot, as part of an apparent attempt to align himself more closely with Republicans against the Clinton Administration, began speaking out in his public addresses about the real or supposed abuses committed by illegal immigrants--a theme not sounded during his 1992 presidential campaign (Barrett, 1993). On the other hand..."

"Value Of Us$ and Effect On East Asian Trade
This research examines the effect the value of the US$ in international currency exchange on trade between the major economies of East Asia and the United States. For purposes of this research, the major economies of East Asia are assumed to be those of Japan, the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), and Thailand. The introduction of the single currency, the euro, for 12 of the 15 member states of the European Community (EC) in 1 January 1999 is expected to have some impact on the reserve currency of preference status of the US$. In turn, the euro could have an impact on the value of the US$ in international currency exchange. Therefore, the potential effect of the euro on the value of the US$ in international currency exchange also is addressed..."

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
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."

Casual Leisure in the U.S. and Southeast Asia, 2006.
This paper examines the levels of drug and alcohol abuse by students in the U.S. and Southeast Asia.

Abstract
The paper predicted that drug/alcohol abuse by students would be more significant among U.S. students than among Asian ones. Asia is relatively conservative in its outlook, while the United States is almost synonymous with experimentation and leisure. However, the research found that the use of currently illicit substances was socially acceptable in Southeast Asia. Also, the major growing areas for poppies and marijuana are located in or very close to Southeast Asia, making transportation easy and cheap. The paper concludes that U.S. students are therefore less likely to be heavy drug/alcohol users than are Southeast Asia students.
Contents:
Introduction
College Lifestyle and Drug/Substance Use in the United States
The Situation in Southeast Asia
Drug Abuse Recorded in Various Countries and Areas in Asia
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1989, Rojek recognized that the negative side of leisure is a central factor in society when he said, "an obvious and indisputable fact about leisure in modern society is that many of the most popular activities are illegal" (1999, p. 82). Among college students in the United States, he found that the illegal activities were underage drinking and illegal drug use. Findings reported by Hoover, based on a survey of students at 140 U.S. college campuses, showed that "two in five college students regularly drink five or more alcoholic beverages in a row, which was significantly linked to the frequency with which they encountered secondary effects of alcohol consumption including date rape, scholastic difficulties, and violence (Hoover, 2002, pp. 34-37). A study by Tucker and Shinew (1995) examined the leisure pursuits of college age students, and found that 86% of those surveyed "consumed alcohol at least once a week and 40% used illegal drugs, primarily marijuana" (unpaged study). This material was based on self-reports, however, and might be skewed in favor of more alcohol and drug use, or less."

Abstract
The paper argues that immigration laws in the United States must be revised to reflect the fact that Mexican immigrants comprise a crucial component of the American economy, particularly in the the essential services sector. The paper explains that the current policy is duplicitious, openly praising the virtues economic integration while simultaneoulsy preventing the integration of the labor market.
From the Paper
"The United States of America in dutifully and aggressively protecting its own interests has at times assumed a duplicitous role with its neighbors. Nowhere has this been truer than in regard to Mexico specifically pertaining to US immigration policy."

Abstract
This paper discusses to what extent the Germans influenced life in the U.S.A. It shows that German immigrants to the United States influenced thought and culture in a variety of ways, but they nearly always managed to hold on to their own culture while adapting to their surroundings.
From the Paper
"While America has always been a melting pot of different cultures blending to form a whole, Germans have always managed to blend into society while nevertheless retaining their own special culture and society. The Germans are one of the few races to hang on to their culture so powerfully, while still successfully merging with U.S. culture. One of the most important ways they held on to their culture was by continuing to speak German, especially in the homes, and raising their children to also speak the native language. They also tended to marry within their own culture. Even throughout the 19th century, third or forth generation German young people were continuing to marry Germans, rather than non-Germans (Spencer 149). They also tended to settle together, forming communities and towns populated mostly with Germans, often all from the same German town or area. This kept the culture from dispersing in large metropolitan areas, and helped keep the people together and their lifestyle much the same as it had been in Germany. The Germans were emphatic about creating better lives for themselves while maintaining their cultural identity, and they took strong steps to make sure this was so, even refusing to marry outside their culture."

From the Paper
"In recent years, the Soviet Union has eased restrictions on its visa laws. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase in emigration from that country. In 1989, for example, at least 228,500 people left the Soviet Union--"more than twice as many as in 1988" ("While the going," 1990, p. 55). This figure is made all the more remarkable by the fact that there are an estimated 3 to 5 million more Soviet citizens who would like to emigrate if they could (Klein, 1990, p. 16). A large percentage of the Soviet Union's recent emigres have been Jews. In fact, it has been noted that "tens of thousands of Jews and members of other minorities have been leaving the Soviet Union under the new rules" ("Soviet emigres," 1990, p. A10). One source has claimed that more than 62,500 Jews emigrated from the Soviet Union during the year 1989 (Goldman, 1989, p. 29). Many of the Jews who..."

"Introduction
The United States is a nation of immigrants. Only the Native Americans are indigenous to this continent, and at some point in their history they may also have come to this region from Asia across the Bering Strait or by some other means. In this century, consecutive waves of immigration from different parts of the world created tensions with Americans already living in this country, for they believed that the immigrants were taking their jobs, gorging the welfare roles, and somehow reducing their overall standard of living. Even many of those who support the values immigrants bring with them have emphasized that no nation can allow unfettered crossings of its borders and that some sort of immigration policy has to be set in place and enforced, though there may be large differences among groups as..."
