Immigration Objective: Assess the problems with immigrant intolerance in America

APK What does it mean for a person to be an immigrant to a country? Has anyone within the last 2 generations (Grandparents) come to the US? – What was the experiences like?

Are you an immigrant or have you emigrated? Immigrant – a person who comes IN to a new country for an extended period of time; possibly making it their new home Emigrant – a person who has EXITED their home country in order to become part of a new country CFU: Does America currently have an immigration of emigration problem?

Many immigrants settled in communities w/other immigrants from same country. They also formed organizations to help each other. Pair Share: How would a community organization help immigrants?

Hyphenated Americans Didn’t fit in so changed who they where Chinese-, African-, Italian-, Russian-, Polish- Americans born here disliked the new identity Pair Share: How are these people viewed today? Does the hyphen cause more problems then if we were just Americans? CFU: Are they truly Americans?

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS America called a MELTING POT…. Fact that many cultures & races had blended. But, many immigrants refused to give up their culture…. CFU: Can America be a melting pot if people hold onto their roots?

Some Americans didn’t like so many immigrants living in the U.S. NATIVISM- Obvious preference for native- born Americans. Nativism gave rise to anti-immigrant groups. Also led to a demand for immigration restrictions. CFU: Define nativism in your own words?

CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT 1882 Chinese immigrants worked for low wages. Labor groups pressured politicians to restrict Asian immigration. Banned all but a few Chinese immigrants. Not lifted until Pair Share: Why do you think that America wanted to limit immigrants? Does this idea go against the melting pot theory? CFU: Which group was limited from coming to the US?

Why did the Nativists oppose new immigration? Although immigrant workers were often the *backs* that this country was built on (during the Second Industrial Revolution), many Americans saw them as a threat. They: a.practiced different religions b.spoke different languages c.engaged in criminal action d.spread radical political ideas e.worked cheaply which lowered everyone’s wages Pair Share: Why would these cause Americans to question new immigrants?

All in all, the immigrants were a great addition to America because: a.industrialization accomplishments would have been impossible without their hard work b.their cultures brought new dimensions to American life that (ultimately) resulted in a stronger society. CFU: Did the immigrants have a positive effect on the US?

REACTION AGAINST IMMIGRATION Nativism:An opposition in immigration which originated in the U.S. politics with roots in the country’s historic role as a melting pot. Know-Nothing Party:A Nativist American Political movement of the 1850’s.It was empowered by popular fears that the country was being overwhelmed by Irish Catholic Immigrants. Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 ( Yellow Peril):A U.S federal law passed on May 6, Those revisions allowed the U.S. to suspend immigration. National Origins Act(1924,1929):A discrimetory U.S. immigration law passed in It was designed to cutail immigration from new source countries such as Russia, Poland, and Italy by allocating them small quotas.

THEORIES OF IMMIGRATION “Melting Pot” Theory: It’s an analogy for the way in which homogeneous societies develop,in which the ingredients in the pot (people of different cultures, races and religions) are combined so as to develop a multi-ethnic society. Assimilation:The process where by a minority group gradually adopts the customs and the attitudes of the prevailing culture. “Salad Bowl” Theory: Newly arrived immigrants don’t lose their aspects but characteristics of each culture are still identifiable within the larger American society much like the ingredients in a salad are still identifiable, yet contribute to overall make up of the salad bowl.
