The opportunity gave Chinese citizens to bring their children to America, and be able to return to their village without losing their citizenship. They also claim “new” children had been born to them. Historians called them, “paper sons and daughters” — children on paper only without a direct family connection.

These two important pieces support two different theories for American immigration, “the melting pot”, supported and made popular by Zangwill’s play, and cultural pluralism, promoted by Kallen. “The Melting Pot” supports a sense of assimilation and Americanization by European immigrants.…

    The topic of my paper is on immigration, more specifically the right to immigrate. In his paper, Michael Huemer presents the following argument; 1. Individuals have a prima facie right to immigrate (that is, a right not to be prevented from immigrating). This is because: a.

In particular: a…
