Generations ago, immigrants came to the U.S. from Europe and Africa in large numbers. Today they are arriving mainly from Latin America and Asia. Most are documented but many are not. While the federal and most state governments have done little beyond controlling borders and ports of entry to address pressing immigration issues, public officials and community organizations at the local level have been advancing commonsense, pragmatic solutions to accommodate the newest members of American society.

Immigration Policy and the Labor Market The German Experience and Lessons for Europe


Free Download Immigration Policy and the Labor Market: The German Experience and Lessons for Europe By Prof. Dr. Klaus F. Zimmermann, Dr. Holger Bonin, Holger Hinte, Dr. René Fahr (auth.)
2007 | 209 Pages | ISBN: 354068381X | PDF | 5 MB
German and European immigration policies have only recently begun to cope with the inevitable: growing labor demand in the face of high unemployment and a shrinking labor force due to demographic change. Despite the implementation of Germany’s first immigration act and several European initiatives towards legal harmonization at the EU level, an actively controlling immigration policy, which would be needed to master the challenges ahead, is not yet in sight. Against this background, the book draws conclusions from the German history of immigration policy. It analyzes the country’s future demand for immigration and develops an economic model for the effective selection and integration of labor migrants that could provide the foundation for a joint European immigration strategy."Western Europe, and in particular Germany, have come to realize that they are regions of substantial net immigration. This book develops prospects for future trends in German and European immigration policies. It is an essential input into any serious public policy discussion of European immigration issues." Barry Chiswick, University of Illinois at Chicago, leading US immigration expert "Legal migration should be managed rather than endured. To show policy makers and citizens under which circumstances legal migration can be beneficial, research is needed and puzzles need to be solved. Which criteria should be applied? What can we learn from traditional migration countries? What role is there for Europe? This book is a valuable contribution to these pertinent questions." Marcel Canoy, Bureau of European Policy Advisers, Directorate General of the European Commission

Although the United States prides itself as a nation of diversity, the country that boasts of its immigrant past also wrestles with much of its immigrant present. While conflicting attitudes about immigration are debated, newcomers-both legal and otherwise-continue to arrive on American soil. And books about the immigrant experience-aimed at both adults and youth-are published with a fair amount of frequency.

Language, Immigration and Naturalization Legal and Linguistic Issues


Free Download Ariel Loring, "Language, Immigration and Naturalization: Legal and Linguistic Issues"
English | ISBN: 1783095156 | 2016 | 232 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This volume focuses on the everyday legalities and practicalities of naturalization including governmental processes, the language of citizenship tests and classes, the labelling and lived experiences of immigrants/outsiders and the media’s interpretation of this process. The book brings together scholars from a wide range of specialities who accentuate language and raise issues that often remain unarticulated or masked in the media. The contributors highlight how governmental policies and practices affect native-born citizens and residents differently on the basis of legal status. Furthermore, the authors observe that many issues that are typically seen as affecting immigrants (such as language policies, nationalist identities and feelings of belonging) also impact first-generation native-born citizens who are seen as, or see themselves as, outsiders.
