Abstract
The paper argues that immigration laws in the United States must be revised to reflect the fact that Mexican immigrants comprise a crucial component of the American economy, particularly in the the essential services sector. The paper explains that the current policy is duplicitious, openly praising the virtues economic integration while simultaneoulsy preventing the integration of the labor market.
From the Paper
"The United States of America in dutifully and aggressively protecting its own interests has at times assumed a duplicitous role with its neighbors. Nowhere has this been truer than in regard to Mexico specifically pertaining to US immigration policy."

Abstract
This paper explains that between 1870 and 1900 an estimated 12 million people immigrated to the U. S. from all over the world especially from China, Germany, Ireland, England and eastern Europe. The author points out that most immigrants, the majority of whom were young adults, came because of the low wages and difficult living conditions in their homelands. The paper relates that these immigrants generally were met with a somewhat hostile environment that demanded they make behavioral adjustments, accept national social structures and American ideals and assume an American identity
From the Paper
"Between 1851 and 1921, more than 3.5 million Irish arrived in North America, the majority of who were of the poorer farming classes. The proportions of family groups declined, while those of the working-age adolescents and adults increased. And while males dominated other ethnic immigrant groups, the nineteenth and early twentieth century Irish immigrants were distinctive in that the sexes reached near parity in numbers. By the beginning of the twentieth century, Irish immigrants were likely to be young, aged fifteen to twenty-four, unmarried, technically unskilled, Catholic, and from the poverty-mined west of Ireland."

Abstract
This paper explains the harmful effects of illegal immigration on the United States' economy. The author presents evidence to support his claim that illegal immigrants affect the economy in a negative way. It then suggests ways to limit those effects and describes the most effective ways for the government to deal with this ongoing problem.
From the Paper
"One of the many ways illegal immigrants harm our nation is by using our government services. Each year, more and more undocumented aliens are coming to our country to get free education, health care, protection (fire and police departments), and other services, such as ESL (English as a Second Language) without paying taxes. It is estimated that eighty-six percent of all school-aged illegal immigrants attend public schools (Huddle 76). Undocumented foreigners also make up seventeen percent of all inmates in prison, costing us money to pay for their keep (Elsner). This would not bother me if these immigrants were paying for their services."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the immigration policy of the United States prior to and during the Second World War with regard to Jewish persons living in Europe. The thesis of this paper is that the U.S. government refused to liberalize immigration laws in response to the Nazi policies in Europe because of a combination of traditional anti-semitism, economic fears stemming from the Depression, and government responses to public opinion, both actual and perceived. The first part of the paper will provide a brief background to U.S. immigration policy during the Twentieth Century and show how this policy remained the same throughout the Second World War. The second part of the paper will examine anti-semitism in the U.S. during this period and discuss how it affected immigration policy. The third part of the ... "

Abstract
This paper examines immigration policies in the United States. The paper describes some of the reasons that immigration rates in the U.S. have risen and fallen, including domestic political, economic, social, and religious factors, which have in turn been impacted by the rate of immigration from abroad. Then paper then discusses what effects these changes in rates of immigration have on the U.S. government immigration policies.
From the Paper
"Immigration: An Analysis of Policy Shifts Over the years, the pace of immigration in the United States has risen and fallen depending upon several factors. American immigration policies have shifted at various times due to domestic political, economic, social, and religious factors in the United States, which have in turn been impacted by the rate of immigration from abroad. When immigration rates have been high, government immigration policies have tended to become more restrictive because of government reactions to public concerns about "foreigners" undermining American society and taking away jobs. In times of economic expansion and prosperity, immigration policies have tended to be much less stringent, primarily because jobs are plentiful."

From the Paper
"The year 1880 marked the beginning of the third period of Jewish immigration to the United States. What began as a trickle became a virtual flood, whose headwaters were located in the countries of Eastern Europe. From 1987-1910 alone 449,000 Jews emigrated from Poland to start a new life in America.
Coming to America became a great drama of redemption for East European Jewish masses. After the Partition of Poland in 1793, part of the country came under Russian czarist rule; Catherine the Great was none too happy to receive these Jewish wards.
Russian policy was pervaded by very discriminatory patterns; the Jews were tightly circumscribed inside the ?Pale? (the area that was formerly Polish territory), which moved the .... "

Local Law Enforcement of Immigration Laws, 2006.
A discussion regarding the controversial topic of illegal immigration.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the problem of illegal immigration into the USA. According to the paper, recent attempts to address the issue through local enforcement may have unsuspecting consequences and a negative impact on the Latino communities.
From the Paper
"According to critics, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 led to the legalization of vast numbers of undocumented immigrants as a means of reducing unsanctioned immigration, however its main effect was to reinforce and expand established cross-border migration networks and create a thriving business in fraudulent documents (Nevins). These unintended consequences laid the foundation for the anti-immigration backlash that eventually emerged during the 1990's, partially due to political and bureaucratic entrepreneurs who sparked public sentiment by focusing on the border as both the source of the problem and the site of policy solution (Nevins). Others argue that the backlash was not merely against illegal immigrants, but was rather directed against immigrants in general, particularly "the nonwhite, non-English speaking, and the relatively poor" (Nevins). These concerns resulted in a declaration of "war" against unauthorized immigrants which led to a short-term shift in INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) policing tactics along the Mexico-U.S. border and to the massive infusion of enforcement-related resources, such as California's Operation Gatekeeper (Nevins).

Abstract
The paper discusses how immigration has become a highly contentious issue in American politics, due to the fear of terrorism and worry for the nation's economy. The paper discusses how pressure for enforcement has created a domestic constitutional issue that raises the issue of who is responsible for enforcing immigration laws.
From the Paper
"Immigration has become a highly contentious issue in American politics, probably the second most contentious behind abortion in terms of domestic policy. Protection of the borders has become more important to many people since the 9-11 attacks, based on the view that terrorists could cross the borders and wreak havoc. The terrorists involved in the 9-11 attacks entered the country legally and then failed to go home as they were supposed to do, but none simply crossed the borders illegally. Still, the perception grew quickly that protecting the borders was necessary to protect us from terrorism."

Abstract
This paper discusses the subjects of immigration, race and gender found in the Canadian immigration policy. The major argument of this paper is that neo-liberal policies are combining with the already existent sexist and racist immigration policies of Canada.
From the Paper
"The fact that Canada is an immigrant receiving country has been an important part of Canada's history from the very beginning. However, Canadian immigration policy has traditionally been very sexist and racist. For example, in 'Sponsoring Immigrant Women's Inequalities' Sunera Thobani states, 'The nation was founded through the colonization of Aboriginal Peoples, the subjugation of their sovereignty, and the erosion of traditional and customary Rights'. Aboriginal Women were subjected to white, male domination, as well as to a strengthening of patriarchal relations within Aboriginal communities by the Indian Act. Canadians were originally very overt with their sexist and racist policies."

From the Paper
"The United States is a nation of immigrants. Only the Native Americans are indigenous to this continent, and at some point in their history they may also have come to this region from Asia across the Bering Strait or by some other means. In this century, consecutive waves of immigration from different parts of the world created tensions with Americans already living in this country, for they believed that the immigrants were taking their jobs, gorging the welfare roles, and somehow reducing their overall standard of living. Even many of those who support the values immigrants bring with them have emphasized that no nation can allow unfettered crossings of its borders and that some sort of immigration policy has to be set in place and enforced, though what is an acceptable policy may differ among groups. Illegal immigration is costly to government and to.."

Immigration Law, 2004.
An overview of the SEVIS program and the U.S.A. PATRIOT act for clamping down on foreign students.

Abstract
This paper examines how there are two troubling initiatives coming out of Washington, D.C., regarding foreign students. One is the SEVIS (Student Exchange Visitor Information System) program, and the other is the U.S.A. PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act. It discusses how, while there may be some legitimacy, post-9/11, in seeking to keep tabs on students who might be terrorists, it can also be considered a system of racial profiling that singles out and criminalizes international students in the U.S.
From the Paper
"There have been abuses of the sort SEVIS seeks to stem, which probably helped both before and after 9/11 to influence politicians to tighten standards for foreign study in the U.S. Chaleampon Ritthichai, writing in the Gotham Gazette, revealed the story of Lek Supaluk. Supalak thought she could make more money by working in the U.S. after college than by returning to Thailand, and she could find no employer to sponsor her working visa. So she bought an I-20, the form that allows foreigners to apply for student visas. She enrolled in a language school, but never attended. SEVIS means her luck might be running out. Peter Pachter, Director of Overseas Students and American Language Communication Center in Manhattan, said, ?There were rules and regulations that students had to comply with but the INS never seemed to follow through with the enforcement.?"

"INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE PRC
This research paper summarizes the intellectual property laws of the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) and compares and contrasts the protection available to American intellectual property in the two nations.
Legal Protection of Intellectual Property in the United States
Intellectual property is extensively protected under the American legal system. That protection falls into four principal categories: (1) Patents; (2) Trademarks and Tradenames; (3) Trade Secrets; and (4) Copyrights. Special statutory protection is afforded certain high technology products and services as noted below.
Constitutional basis for protection. Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 8 of the U.S. Constitution provides that Congress shall have the.."

From the Paper
" This study is concerned with trademark laws in the United States and Canada and how they relate to unfair advertising or competition, as well as how effective they are in stopping piracy and other trademark infringements. It will be argued that, while recent legislation within these two countries has made trademark infringements more difficult, trademark law still needs further definition in the international sphere.
Since the 1870s, trademark rights in the United States have arisen out of the marks in commerce, the basic premise being "no trade, no trademark." The federal trademark statute enacted in 1946 required U.S. trademark owners to submit proof of prior use when applying to register their marks in the Patent and Trademark Office. In 1989 changes in trademark legislation within the United States gave domestic firms an edge in competing against.."
