5. Let’s read a passage from Shut the Door!…
Chinese Exclusion Act
Immigration Quota Act of 1921
Johnson and Reed Act – 1924
“I think we now have sufficient population in our country for us to shut the door and to breed up a pure, unadulterated American citizenship…. Thank God we have in America perhaps the largest percentage of any country in the world of the pure, unadulterated Anglo-Saxon stock; certainly the greatest of any nation in the Nordic breed…. Without offense, but with regard to the salvation of our own, let us shut the door and assimilate what we have, and let us breed pure American citizens and develop our own American resources.” Senator Ellison Smith – South Carolina 

6. 1924 law used a total number of 165,000 and a country quota based on the 1890 census to determine the numbers allowed from each country.

Why do we have such strong opinions about immigration? Why do we have such strong emotions about immigration?

11. Ravenstein’s Laws of Migration & Gravity Model
What is the Gravity Model?
Ravenstein’s Laws of Migration
1. Every migration flow generates a return or counter-migration
2. The majority of migrants move a short distance
3. Migrants who do move longer distances tend to choose large cities
4. Urban residents are less migratory than rural folk
5. Families are less likely to make international moves than young adults

12. Why do humans move? Voluntary Migration
Forced Migration – such as slavery
Map – page 82
Other Forced Migrations you may not know
Britain to Australia
Native Americans in the US
Soviet Union moving non-Russians to Central Asia and Siberia
Jews moving out of Western Europe

13. Migration Migration – long term location of an individual
External and Internal
Emigration – (E=Exit)out migration
Immigration – in migration
Internal Migration – U.S. trend (p. 81)
How can professional sports show us the internal demographic shifts of the last years?

14. Migration concepts Distance Decay
More accurate perceptions of nearer places than far away places.
Farther away from origin one gets, less likely a behavior, activity, interaction will decay or cease.
Chain Migration – family member leaves, sends word back, more come
Step Migration – most migrations actually done in segments
Farm  Village  Town  Suburb  City 

15. Migration concepts - continued
Intervening Opportunity – immigrant has an intended destination, but does not reach that destination, instead settles somewhere along the way
EXAMPLE – African Americans after WWI migrate seeking work in Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland only to find employment and stay in St. Louis and Cincinnati.

16. Non-permanent migration
Cyclic – cyclical movement of people involves journeys that bring us back home.
Our daily commute-(activity spaces)
“Snowbirds” – people (elderly) spending the winter in warmer climate locations.
Nomads – it is both for survival and cultural.
Periodic – usually involves a longer period of time away from home.
Migrant laborers – can be cyclical but most often involves longer periods of time bordering on permanence.

17. Migration
Migration Counter-stream – migration path in the opposite direction. Not everyone who migrates intends to remain permanently at the place of destination.
Examples –person unhappy at new destination or simply feeling the familial or nationalistic pull.

18. Catalysts of Migration
Economic Conditions
Political (Berlin, Hong Kong, Iran)
War
Environmental (Chernobyl, New Orleans, Ethiopia)
Culture and Traditions (Israel)
Technological Advances (Return migration to the South)
Flow of Information
Remember – if you have what the U.S. wants – you can come in anytime (sort of)! Examples: certain degrees, money, skills

19. Millions move across international borders…
Most for jobs/better life
Most people move for $ or €
Others because of war, environmental problems
Immigration is causing great pressure on some countries, i.e., more pop. growth due to immigration than natural growth
Remember – most population growth globally is in Developing World

20. Push/Pull Factors Push – factors causing people to leave a place
Pull – factors which attract people to places from other places
Push factors more likely to be perceived accurately. WHY?
Because they are local.
Pull factors more vague. Perceptions tend to be overly positive.
What are your perceptions of places?

21. PUSH and PULL FACTORS Economic Conditions Political Circumstances
Types of Push and Pull Factors – pp
Economic Conditions
Political Circumstances
Armed Conflict and Civil War
Environmental Conditions
Culture and Traditions
Technological Advances

22. Zelinsky Model Wilbur Zelinsky – Migration Transition Model
It is the migration pattern in a society that results from the social and economic changes that also produce the demographic transition.

23. Zelinsky states:
*International migration is a phenomenon of countries largely in Stage 2-3 of the DTR. Many look for increased opportunities to move to another country. Internal migration is also common causing increased urbanization in cities least able to absorb it.

24. Zelinsky states:
*Countries in Stage 3 and 4 of the DTM are largely the destinations of the Stage 2 migrants.
Within Stage 3 and 4, countries movement is largely intra-regional and increasingly a factor contributing to urban sprawl.

28. What complications can we think about when it comes to immigration?
Food supplies and costs
Social services costs
Construction workers and costs
Who’s bringing immigrants in?
What else encourages immigrants to come?
Isn’t this an issue of Supply and Demand?
