Abstract
This paper develops the argument that Canada's current immigration laws do not work and closing its borders to migrants would not evoke a positive response for the national interest of Canada. The writer argues that the international image of Canada in the global village of civilized and humanitarian nations depends upon its accessibility to foreigners.
From the Paper
"Does it follow then that Canada must admit anyone or everyone who calls at our doorsteps for entrance irrespective of our own national interest priorities. Again, the enlightened approach to the issue would be to admit those that are deemed to be able to serve our national interest, as the current Canadian federal immigration regulation would have implied. Or to grant entrance to victims of political oppression in their homeland by brutal authoritarian regimes or permit foreign migrants to stay here on human rights and compassionate grounds, such is the strategic orientation of our federal refugee programme."

From the Paper
"The downside to including a WiFi network within Borders cafes is that customers may be more apt to do work or talk to their virtual friends on the Internet, than peruse Borders afterwards and buy books and magazines. The time spent on the Internet is time that will NOT be spent looking at Borders items for sale. Although the cafe is an important part of Borders business, if customers are coming just to access the WiFi network, Borders cafes will not necessarily have an additional attraction, as opposed to a local Starbucks or restaurant that also offers WiFi and perhaps a larger selection of food and beverage items. Also, customers who wish to do work or socialize upon their laptops usually come in alone, rather than in more lucrative couples from the cafe's point of view. When using the Internet, these solitary patrons stay longer, perhaps, then if they were just looking at magazine within the store, also minimizing the amount of places for customers to sit down and eat, and reducing the total amount of patrons able to eat at the cafe."

From the Paper
"In order to boost sales and attract new customers. Borders would use different types of promotional tools to achieve that. We would focus our advertisement on newspaper and magazines that related to retirement and health. The reason is because these channels allows us to reach our target market -- baby boomer. In addition to the advertisement, we also include discount coupons, and special deals when they visit our stores on certain day. Advertisement would also be used when there's new stores open. For our Borders Rewards Club, we hold regular events and book signing. The purpose is to get more attention from the public and get more people come to our stores."

Refugees and Migrants, 2008.
An examination of the differences between refugees and migrants and how they the United Nations relates to them.

Abstract
This paper discusses the differences between refugees and migrants and looks at why these distinctions are important for political reasons. Specifically, the paper discusses trends of migrant and refugee movements over time. The paper also looks at the ways that migrants and refugees are referred to within the United Nations and the laws that relate to these two groups.
From the Paper
"It is important thus to create a set of clear procedures and screening process that would allow genuine asylum seekers to get refuge. For this reason, a distinction is sought between migrant and refugee. In quite poignant manner, the Convention states that a migrant is someone who may lose better quality of life if he is turned down, a refugee is someone who might lose his life altogether. The Convention and other UNHR handbooks offer clear guidelines on the issue of distinction between migrants and refugees. One handbook revised in 2007 makes the distinction between a migrant and a refugee in these words: "A migrant is a person who, for reasons other than those contained in the definition, voluntarily leaves his country in order to take up residence elsewhere. He may be moved by the desire for change or adventure, or by family or other reasons of a personal nature. If he is motivated exclusively by economic considerations, he is an economic migrant and not a refugee. The distinction between an economic migrant and a refugee is, however, sometimes blurred in the same way as the distinction between economic and political measures in an applicant's country of origin is not always clear.""

Abstract
This paper presents the findings of the author's research on immigration and migration in America in the 1920s. The paper attempts to describe the impact these immigrants and migrants of the 1920s had on America then and how those same immigrant and migrant movements continue to impact America today.
From the Paper
"For example, Russia suffered over 2 billion casualties of WWI and their internal revolution while America had only an estimated 326,000 casualties while at the same time the nation's GDP and economy became a boom. Although there were obviously some lean times in America, the situation was far better than that of the European Continent. Historians have found records from Vienna Austria that prove that bread rations for that city's citizens was only four ounces 4 per week. "

"In Defence of Migrants", 2003.

Abstract
The paper discusses the emergence of a new generation of Glasgow painters, known under the name of "New Glasgow Boys." The paper speaks of one of these artists, Steven Campbell and his painting "In Defence of Migrants," The paper comments on how the human figure is presented, first within a background of confusion and uncertainty, then in a direct and forceful expression of emotion as well as an intense theatricality, and finally in relationship with nature itself, a relationship which defines his own human condition.
From the Paper
"The first and most obvious characteristic of Campbell's Painting on Defence of Migrants is its formal density which demonstrates, alongside with an intensity of creative imagination, a great sense of confusion. The artist's extravert approach to figure painting results in a large number of details. We, as spectators, are confronted with a multiplicity of frames which successively surround the picture and lead our eye to the moon, the focus point in terms of the organisation of space. On the left, there are also trees and rocks on which the pale-skinned 'migrants' sit. On the extreme right, a strange man with his head lit up, as if ecstatic, and a hunter brandishing a rifle, ready to shoot. Going further 'inside' the picture, we see, on the left, a multitude of people walking, apparently migrating like birds, in the shade of the characters who sit in the foreground, but somehow connected to them. Looking in the right-hand side, we can behold, once more, conifers and rocks and a waterfall, which salmons are swimming up, going down the valley and leading our eye further into the picture. In the background, we see mountains, the shadows of which stand out against the all too dark and cloudy sky. However, despite the large number of frames in the picture, one thing comes as a unifier and gives the viewer the feeling of space, which is the birds, of all species, from wild ducks to nocturnal birds of prey. The latter, alongside the salmons swimming up the waterfall, the dog and the shrews in the bottom right-hand corner, gives us a powerful impression of the presence of natural fauna. Thus, all these closely-worked surfaces and almost impenetrable tangle of forms may belong to reality. Yet, the overall sense of density and confusion along with the almost exaggerated symmetry of the composition--the two trees on the foreground, the incline of the outline of the rocks, etc.--develop into an anachronistic world which is both strange and familiar. On the other hand, the figures on the foreground, which just look like characters from a novel, even a fairy tale, are subjected to the arbitrary disposition of the surreal. Indeed, there appear, in the sky and the clouds, the distinct figures of hunters... The universe we are confronted to belongs to neither fact nor fiction and makes the frame for the play which is on."

Early Migrants to the Americas, 2000.
An examination of the evidence indicating three waves of migration across the Bering Strait after the Pleistocene era.

From the Paper
"It has become commonplace to accept that humans came to the New World from Asia across the Bering Strait. It has also become commonly accepted that the people who crossed this strait were in fact Homo sapiens sapiens (and not some earlier form of the species) and that they did not begin this migration before the terminal Pleistocene era.
These assumptions are based upon a number of aspects of the archaeological and biological record. The lack of human skeletal remains in the New World before the end of the Pleistocene sets the period before which migration seems unlikely to have occurred. The biological connections between the peoples of Asia and the native peoples of the Americas suggest that at one time these groups formed a common and united gene pool. And the fact that dental variation in the Americas is less than that in Asia..."

"BORDERS: MARKET POTENTIAL
Nature of the Firm
Borders Books was founded in 1971 when Tom and Louis Borders, two brothers, opened a small book shop in the academic community of Ann Arbor. According to the company web site, it became known as "one of the finest book shops in the world, a place where customers could rely on a friendly, well informed staff to find exactly what they were looking for, or browse uninterrupted for hours through shelves stocked with everything from African poetry to Zoroastrian theology"("About us...", 1999, online).
Music was added to the inventory mix in 1992, and the growth continued, especially when the brothers sold the chain to K-Mart Corporation, an alliance that lasted only three years. In 1995, the brothers formed..."

Immigration, Women, and Oppression in Canada, 2002.
Examines the reality of how migrant women's contribution to the survival of their family and community has not been recognized in Canada.

»

Abstract
This paper shows that the dominant culture in Canada has not valued domestic labour and communal work because it does not fall under the category of "economic development". Thus, women migrants who work in the home and in the community help their families survive, but because of the sexist and classist lens through which elites have seen their own history, they are ignored by the "official" history of the country they live in. Moreover, they are already dealing with a disadvantage, since the society itself is misogynist and sexist.

Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares Irish migrant settlement in the United States and Canada in the nineteenth century. It looks at the traditional historical models for these respective settlements and suggests that they have tended to emphasize the urban nature of the American settlement and the rural nature of the Canadian one. The paper concludes, however, that the settlement patterns of the Irish immigrants are far more complex than these models suggest. The paper then analyzes and discusses these points.

Introduction

Historical Debate and Dissent
The Value of Comparative Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In this comparative analysis of the settlement patterns of Irish immigrants in Canada and the United States, we have seen the importance of a detailed understanding of the historical debate. In both countries, it seems that the settlement patterns of the Irish immigrants followed precedents established by existing immigrant populations as the Irish settlement patterns and living conditions mirrored the often rural communities in which they settled. Thus, as historians agree, it is very difficult to generalize for Irish Canadians as a whole in this regard. Given that the United States was more urbanized than Canada, the Irish immigrants in this environment were likewise more urbanized, but not more so than other immigrant groups at this time. Indeed, their settlement patterns and living conditions - often hard, and working class, in the poorer areas of cities - seemed to mirror that of other immigrants in the United States in a similar way to the Irish immigrants' settlement patterns in Canada reflecting the communities in which they lived."
