http://www.iacfpa.org/census2k/iahist.htm

Extractions: Although a vast majority of the 1.2 million Indian Americans in the United States arrived after 1965, the history of Indians in this country goes back much further. A brief glimpse of the history of Indian immigrants in the U.S. reveals a distinct experience from many other immigrant groups. Early Immigration Very few Indians came to the U.S. prior to 1906 since the prevailing Hindu socio-religious traditions deemed crossing of the "black water" to the West as extremely inauspicious. As a result, many of the early arrivals from India were young Christian men who were brought as indentured servants or slaves via England. As trade developed with India, some Indians also arrived in the US as sailors on merchant ships. Such was the case of the first recorded arrival of an unnamed "man from Madras" in the streets of Salem, Massachusetts in 1790. Between 1820 and 1898, only 523 Indians immigrated to North America, mostly unskilled laborers and agricultural workers. They were reported to have married and disappeared into the black slave population of Salem.

Restrictive language laws have been enacted periodically since the late 19th century, usually in response to new waves of immigration. These laws, in practice if not in intent, have punished immigrants for their foreignness and violated their rights.

Extractions: has been a multilingual nation. At the time of the nation's founding, it was commonplace to hear as many as 20 languages spoken in daily life, including Dutch, French, German and numerous Native American languages. Even the Articles of Confederation were printed in German, as well as English. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the nation's linguistic diversity grew as successive waves of Europeans immigrated to these shores and U.S. territory expanded to include Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Phillipines. Just as languages other than English have always been a part of our history and culture, debate over establishing a national language dates back to the country's beginnings. John Adams proposed to the Continental Congress in 1780 that an official academy be created to "purify, develop, and dictate usage of," English. His proposal was rejected as undemocratic and a threat to individual liberty. Nonetheless, restrictive language laws have been enacted periodically since the late 19th century, usually in response to new waves of immigration. These laws, in practice if not in intent, have punished immigrants for their foreignness and violated their rights.

Jonh Rocker On Immigration
A statement from the Central american Refugee Center in response to Rocker's statements about immigrants.

Extractions: "The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get into this country?" Unlike John Rocker, most Americans know that immigrants are building up our country, just like immigrant ballplayers are restoring our joy in our national pastime. While some may long for a world where all people are White and all accents are Southern, most of us know that without diversity life would be boring.

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American History (1994) Chapter Thirteen A Nation of Immigrants (15/16) Previous Page Next Page By the time American independence was declared in 1776, two-fifths of all settlers were of non-English origin. The first U.S. census, taken in 1790, revealed a population of just under four million people, with about 10,000 new settlers arriving each year. When the U.S. government began keeping records of arriving passengers in 1820, the majority of immigrants were from Northern Europe; by the end of the 19th century, they came largely from Southern and Eastern Europe. Today, the majority arrive from Latin America and Asia. Their reasons for coming, however opportunity and freedom remain unchanged. Previous Page Next Page
Historian Paul Johnson On American Liberty
Transcript of an interview with the author of Modern Times originally printed in The Freeman, discussing liberty in american culture and its relation to religion, trade, immigration, and individualism.
http://www.libertyhaven.com/thinkers/pauljohnson/historipaul.html

Extractions: American Liberty For friends of freedom, Paul Johnson is perhaps today's most beloved historian. He tells a dramatic story with moral passion. He gives readers tremendous pleasure as he celebrates liberty and denounces tyranny. "Paul Johnson," declared Wall Street Journal editor Robert Bartley, "is one of the premier wordsmiths of the English language." The New Yorker called him "a good writer and clear thinker." Even Foreign Affairs, pillar of the establishment, acknowledged his achievements: "A latter-day Mencken, Johnson is witty, gritty and compulsively readable." Johnson's 28 books, including The History of Christianity (1976), The History of the Jews (1987), The Intellectuals (1988), and The Birth of the Modern (1991), have covered some of the biggest stories of all time. Johnson is most famous for Modern Times (1983), the breath-taking epic of twentieth-century tyranny. Before that book, intellectuals commonly distinguished between bad "right-wing" totalitarianism (fascism and Nazism) and justifiable "leftwing" totalitarianism (socialism and Communism), whose crimes were overlooked. Johnson dared to denounce them all as evil. While he wasn't the first to do this, he had the greatest impact as he made one tyrant after another accountable for their savage killings.

http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonline/italian_immigration.cfm

Extractions: Back to Ethnic America Italian Immigration More Italians have migrated to the United States than any other Europeans. Poverty, overpopulation, and natural disaster all spurred Italian emigration. Beginning in the 1870s, Italian birthrates rose and death rates fell. Population pressure became severe, especially in Il Messogiorno, the southern and poorest provinces of Italy. As late as 1900, the illiteracy rate in southern Italy was 70 percent, ten times the rate in England, France, or Germany. The Italian government was dominated by northerners, and southerners were hurt by high taxes and high protective tariffs on northern industrial goods. Southerners also suffered from a scarcity of cultivatable land, soil erosion and deforestation, and a lack of coal and iron ore needed by industry. Unlike the Irish Catholics, southern Italians suffered from exploitation by people of the same nationality and religion. Rather than leading to group solidarity, this situation led to a reliance on family, kin, and village ties. Life in the South revolved around la famiglia (the family) and l'ordine della famiglia (the rules of family behavior and responsibility).

http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/historyonline/immigration_chron.cfm

Extractions: Back to Ethnic America Landmarks in Immigration History Naturalization Act restricts citizenship to "free white persons" who reside in the United States for five years and renounce their allegiance to their former country. The Alien and Sedition Acts permit the President to deport any foreigner deemed to be dangerous. A revised Naturalization Act imposes a 14-year residency requirement for prospective citizens. Congress reduce the residency requirement for citizenship to five years. The importation of slaves into the United States is prohibited. Pennsylvania permits bilingual instruction in English and German in its public schools. Irish Potato Famine; crop failures in Germany; the onset of industrialization; and failed European revolutions begin a period of mass immigration. Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, concluding the Mexican War, extends citizenship to approximately 80,000 Mexican residents of the Southwest.
