Final Written Assignment: Answer both sections and all questions in the order in which they were asked. Do not include the questions in your paper! Make sure you answer both section I and II! Number your answers. Not doing so will incur a five points penalty.
Section I Factual Knowledge Questions: Answer 2 out of 3 at 10 points each (Total 20 points)
For two of the three recent or current immigration-related crises or policies listed below: describe a corresponding historical immigration crisis/ policy, we studied this semester in class, from the 1900-1980 time frame. Attention: discuss only the corresponding historical crisis/ policy, not the current one.
Underage refugees awaiting (and often being denied) admission to the US in great numbers.
Refugees kept from entering the US under Trump’s “Muslim Ban”.
Skilled migration given priority over humanitarian migration.
Section II Factual Knowledge and Analysis Questions: Answer 2 out of 2 at 40 points each (Total 80 points)
1. Immigration raids and deportations: start by comparing Secure Communities under President Obama and President Trump. How was the program different under the two presidents and how were its results different? Also, compare Secure Communities raids to one similar deportation raid that happened in the 1900-1980 time frame and that we studied this semester in class. How is this historical raid similar to recent raids? Describe two major similarities.
2. Compare and contrast immigration to two of these three regions/ countries: Western Europe, Australia or Canada, for the 1950-2021 time frame, to immigration to the US in the same time frame. For each region/ country you picked, show how immigration policy changed in the time frame discussed, compared to the US. Also explain what immigration categories and procedures are currently in place, who is given priority for immigration, and how this approach compares to current US immigration policies.
Total points, for both parts combined: 100.
Due Date: This Final Project is due on Monday, 12/6 at 11:59 PM. Late assignments will be accepted only up to 24 hours after due date and will be penalized by 10 points for the delay. Assignments submitted more than 24 hours past due date will not receive credit.
Word Count:
This written assignment should be between 1800 and 1900 words long, excluding references. The paper is worth 30% of your final grade. Make sure to use your word allotment wisely: give shorter answers for questions worth fewer points and elaborate more when answering questions worth more points. Do not include the questions in your written assignment. Answers only! Answer all questions in the order in which they were asked, and number your answers! Attention: make sure you respect the word count: I will penalize every 100 words deviation from the approved word count (plus or minus) by 10 points (one letter grade) each. If you have questions about this matter, contact me to clarify. The bottom line is: make sure you stay within the assigned word count limits in order to avoid losing valuable points. Your reference list will not be part of the word count. DO write down your final word count, excluding references, at the top of your paper.
