Born and raised in Iran to Afghan parents, who had immigrated to Iran at the height of Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, I was awarded a first-person view of injustice and corruption. As Afghan refugees, we were not afforded a fraction of the rights and privileges given to Iranian citizens. Even education, a fundamental human right, was inaccessible to us.

Historian Richard White suggests that by the 1830s, those in England originally against migration, were beginning to soften to the prospect. Australia was beginning to gain ‘New World’ status, along with other countries recently colonised by the British Empire.

Segmented assimilation theory can be comprised of two parts. First, there is the pattern of immigrants and their children assimilating into the white middle-class. The second pattern involves assimilation yet one that progresses in a downward route to lower- classes (Portes and Zhou 1993: 82). There are factors that determine the vulnerability of a group’s downward assimilation. These are their skin color, location, and the absence of mobility ladders (Portes and Zhou 1993: 83).

America 's Gates: Chinese Immigration during the Exclusion Era, 1882-1943, Erika Lee convincingly argues that the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act is the start of the United States of America becoming a “gatekeeping” nation, no longer imagining itself as a nation open to all immigrants but instead a nation that carefully monitors who should be allowed to enter America and who should not.

to carry out the raid with the condition that undocumented immigrants are not arrested. However, the feds went ahead and arrested eleven people to which they claim were detained because of immigration violations. The city mayor supports the arguments presented by the Santa Cruz police, arguing that the detention of the immigrants violated the trust of the Santa Cruz’s people.
