“Despite the influx of peoples which would occur from the Empire and commonwealth, the government displayed an initial reluctance to allow migration from these destinations because of the desire, as Kathleen Paul (1997) and Ian spencer (1997) have demonstrated, to keep Britain white.” (Panayi 248) The home country is not disposed towards immigration. In Panayi’s Immigration, Multiculturalism, and Racism, she analyzes how immigrants are discouraged from migrating to Great Britain, during the post-World War Two era. One example, shown above, is when Panayi examines the population of Great Britain’s stance towards allowing refugees and immigrants into the country.…
However, arguments can be made that migration does stipulate any detrimental consequences, which is that it can lead to jobs being stolen from citizens. It has been pointed out that a conflicting factor in the workplace is mixing individuals of different ethnicities (T.C. Dışişleri Bakanlığı'ndan, N.p., n.d.). Perceived that having a diverse ethnic group can cause unfriendly competition and may result in the destruction of a company’s identity. Integrations of migrants can cause difficult friction with local people. As, minimum wage becomes one of the leading issues that we currently face in The United States, employees who are seeking work in order to provide for they’re families may experience low pay.…
The dilemma is that doctors were sterilizing young Mexican American Women. They would be in mid labor and they would get them to sign the papers that said they could sterilizes them. Many were told that if they didn’t sign their babies would die in the hospital. In 1975, ten women filed a class action lawsuit in federal court claiming that the Lost Angeles County U.S.C Medical Center was sterilizing Spanish-speaking mothers who delivered their babies via C-sections. The doctors and nurses would bully them by saying that their babies were burdens on California tax players.…

Immigrants, more often than not, come to America for the chance of a better life. However, immigration, particularly among Mexican women, does not always lead to better health outcomes. Health disparities among Mexican immigrant women living in the United States arise due to the intersection of various determinants. For example, immigration status and gender can lead Mexican immigrant women to experience a reduction in labor market access and activity in the United States (Leite et al., 2010). This in turn limits them to living in less than favorable economic conditions (Leite, Angoa, Castaneda, Felt, Schenker & Ramirez, 2013).…

Susan Okin is a feminist philosopher and the author of Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women. Okin’s condemnation of immigrant multiculturalism conveys an extreme form of liberal intolerance shared by liberal feminists alike. Despite raising some valid issues of inequality amongst immigrant societies, Okin’s argument is based on the worst of immigrant culture constructing a misleading narrative about multiculturalism. Here I will analyse Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women to support my argument that Okin’s portrayal of immigrant cultural is in essence liberal intolerance and that the issue faced by women within immigrant cultures is not that of a cultural issue but an issue of cruelty and inequality. Liberal feminism supports the notion that a strong connection is present between culture and gender which unfavourably positions immigrant women within society.…
Immigration to America The Chesapeake Bay, on the East Coast of the United States, has been an important entryway for immigrants since the days of the British Colonists and remains so today. The ports scattered throughout the Chesapeake Bay make it a powerful and influential hub for trade and industry and has attracted immigrants throughout history. The first immigrants to travel to America were European colonists. These colonists built villages and towns along the East Coast of the United states with hopes of modernizing a new land. Jamestown was the first English settlement, located on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, and become the starting point of immigration all over the country (Jamestown).…
The informal economy comprises of work activities that involve small number of workers, irregular work hours, income that is paid in cash and even, unregulated by the law. The binary is a categorization of abstract ideas and ultimately, one idea is decided to be less valuable over the other. In the case of my research paper, employer exploitation is made possible due to the binary-infused immigration policies that tend to portray immigrant women in the informal economy as helpless and in no position of power. The research question I plan on investigating is: How did the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) affect the lives of immigrant women in the informal economy of the United States? How did immigration policies like the IRCA…

Looks, race, style, possessions; these are all what we first notice about people. And who do we first compare them to? We compare them to ourselves or other figures in our societies. Why do we perceive people and events around us differently?…
According to Sivakumar, author of “Gender Discrimination and Women’s Development in India” “Gender discrimination takes many forms. Many social practices seen as normal from a religious or cultural point of view (which may have deep historical roots) have women out of the economic mainstream. These social practices may have profound economic consequences because they do not allow society to take advantage of the…
