[Megan]

can someone please help me answering this TRUE/FALSE questions..

ANSWER TRUE OR FLASE:

1.Some historians argue that American immigration policies can be viewed as "restrictive" and/or "limiting."
2. The "Immigration Act of 1924" blatantly disriminated against certain ethnic groups by changing the census reporting years from 1910 to 1890.
3. Mexico and the U.S. so far have failed to develop a bilateral immigration policy that deals with the "realities" of immigration.
4.In Mexico, the 1930s can be viewed as another decade of continuing "emigration."
5.Some specialist compare immigration to the "wind." Consequently, politicians can readily adopt policies to regulate immigration and ensure its "control."
6. When dealing with the topic of immigration, a "unilateral" policy tends to be the appropriate course of action that a nation should take.
7. Three major policies to curb "illegal immigration" to America: National Identification cards, Employer Sanctions, and the implementation of NAFTA ( a bilateral economic program)
8. The "Mexican repatriation" movement of the 1980s was a direct result of the "Great of Depression: of the 1930s.

9. NAFTA and the Tri-National Commission for the Environment suggest that a tri-level approach towards immigration is possible.
10. Given the history of Mexican migration to the United States, today policy makers fully recognize the dependency of the US on Mexican labor.
11. According to some specialist, employer sanctions are absolutely wrong for they turn employers into "police agents" for the border patrol.
12. The aggressive land distribution that occurred in Mexico during the 1930s is a direct result of the institutionalization of the Revolution of 1910.
13.Traditionally the "Progressive Era" can be viewed as a time of political reform and empowerment for the "people."

Their origins were absolutely restrictive. Modern immigration law traces its origins to the effort to stop Chinese immigration in the 19th century. it never occured to anyone that the Chinese laborers who came to work on the railroad wouldn't leave and would bring in more behind them. The so called "modern" interpretation of the 14th amendment also owes its origins to the efforts to deny US citizenship to their children born in the US. Obviously, immigration law remained restrictive in many aspects through the 1920s and on to the 1960s. I would agure that US immigration law obviously evolved after that and opened up to non European immigration after that, and if you'll take a look at US immigration patterns today, there's little if any relationship to US policies in the 1920's and it's fairly pointless to draw any relationship between now and then.
