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.

Americans For Immigration Control
Grassroots lobby for immigration reduction.
http://www.americanimmigrationcontrol.com/

Extractions: AIC was founded in 1983 by a group of American citizens concerned about the future of our country. From its modest beginnings, AIC grew in less than ten years to become the nation's largest grassroots lobby for immigration reform. Today, with more than 250,000 members and supporters, AIC is leading the fight to bring common sense back to American immigration policy. AIC's goal is persuading Congress to reduce immigration to reasonable levels and increase security measures to deter illegal immigration. To promote these aims, AIC lobbies members of Congress in Washington. To promote grassroots influence on legislators, AIC conducts nationwide mailings to educate and inform citizens about immigration problems often ignored by the general media, and encourages them to become involved. With an on-going program of mailings, AIC expands its outreach and avoids "preaching to the choir." In periodic mailings to members and supporters, we include postcards, letters and petitions to send to Congress. Members and supporters also receive AIC's bi-monthly newsletter, Immigration Watch. AIC in addition conducts paid media advertising campaigns around the country to educate the public and encourage them to contact their elected representatives. When opportunities arise, AIC's officers and representatives appear as guests on radio talk shows and TV programs, and as participants and speakers at conferences and meetings.

http://www.ailf.org/awards/ahp_0001_essay01.htm

Extractions: Chinese Immigration to America Today, in considering America's rich immigrant history, and the hundreds of nationalities which have come to the United States to seek a new home, we are keenly aware of the hardship and often rejection faced by newcomers as they attempted to assimilate into American culture. For countless immigrants, the struggle to arrive in America was rivaled only by the struggle to gain acceptance among the population. Yet what if the acceptance you had worked so hard to achieve from your new countrymen was suddenly stripped away leaving only the cold neglect of a nation that had turned its back on your people? Unfortunately, this is the true story of one of the United States' largest immigrant groups: the Chinese. For them, what at first appeared to be a welcoming embrace from their new country quickly turned sour amidst a slew of anti-immigration policies enacted in the 1880's. For more than 80 years, American sentiment towards Chinese immigrants remained ambivalent, often appreciative of their contributions towards the nation's growth, but still reluctant to offer them full recognition as U.S. citizens. It wasn't until 1965 that the last of America's restrictions towards Chinese immigration was finally repealed. Today we celebrate the persistence, fortitude, and sacrifice which has symbolized the history of Chinese Americans; and we pay tribute to their accomplishments as a people who continue to create lasting impressions in the development of the United States: our Nation of Immigrants.
Angel Island Immigrant Journeys Of Chinese-Americans
Photographs and interviews of Chineseamerican immigrants detained at Angel Island in Angel Island history. Former Angel Island detainees Beck H. Gee
http://www.angel-island.com/history.html

Extractions: Henry S. H. Gee ... Reviews Like people of other ethnicities, the Chinese immigrated to the United States for better lives. Before 1900, their work included farming, mining and building railroads. Men sent money home to their families in China. But American laborers resented the Chinese because the latter were willing to work for cheap wages. Americans accused the Chinese of monopolizing jobs. Stiff immigration laws were passed. Many Chinese immigrants were forced to prove they had a husband or father who was a U. S. citizen or be deported. From 1910-1940, Chinese immigrants were detained and interrogated at Angel Island immigration station in San Francisco Bay. U.S. officials hoped to deport as many as possible by asking obscure questions about Chinese villages and family histories that immigrants would have trouble answering correctly. Men and women were housed separately. Detainees spent much of their time in the barracks, languishing between interrogations. The immigrants expressed their fears and frustrations through messages and poems written or carved into barrack walls. Some poems are still visible at the museum today.
Welcome To The ASAWA Website
Information on romance between american men and Filipinas. Cultural observations, historical perspectives, immigration concerns, views, books, and maps.
http://filipinawives.com/

Extractions: Established 1997 Welcome to the ASAWA website, associated with the ASAWA Guide to Fil-West Relationships and the ASAWA forum ASAWA's mission is to explore Fil-West relationships - those where one partner is a Filipino woman, better known as a "Filipina," and the other partner is a male from a western nation, such as the United States, U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany, as well as many others. Hopefully you'll find this exploration both educational and entertaining. ASAWA provides a variety of learning aids, from inexpensive self-help books, such as the ASAWA Guide to Fil-West relationships, to a free, private forum that currently hosts over 650 members from around the world. Of course, neither the site nor the forum are for westerners only. Everyone is welcome. The Filipina mystique is not reserved for foreigners, after all. I've had more than a few Filipino friends (usually 2nd generation) who find marriage to a Filipina just as wonderful and occasionally baffling as his western or Japanese counterpart! Needless to say, any Filipina girlfriend, fiancee, or wife should feel right at home here, also. For those of you not up on your Tagalog, "Asawa" actually means "spouse," which can be either a husband or a wife. Here my primary focus is on the husband, of course. It's pronounced uh (as in "luck") - sau (as in "south") - wa (as in "was"), with the accent on the second syllable.

History Now. The Historians Perspective
more than fifty years ago Once I thought to write a history of the immigrants in America. Then I discovered that the immigrants were american history.
http://www.historynow.org/03_2005/historian.html

Extractions: The Uprooted more than fifty years ago: “Once I thought to write a history of the immigrants in America. Then I discovered that the immigrants were American history." also The new nation that these early immigrants formed came from various strains - a byproduct nation composed of exiles, slaves, adventurers, and dissenters; persecuted, starved, and vulnerable people, grown sick of poverty, bigotry, and kings: It was a nation without a core character, a patchwork nation that developed from a series of layered migrations. The process of social re-mixing eventually yielded a new society, less provincial, less narrowly devoted than the ones the immigrants had left behind. "I could point out to you," the French expatriate Hector St Jean deCrevecoeur wrote shortly after the American Revolution:

Immigration & The American Future--Conservative Debate Handbook
An analysis of the factors which should go into formulating an immigration policy for the United States of America in the 21st Century.
http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/migrate.htm

Extractions: The issues involved in formulating an American immigration policy have become something of a microcosm for the larger ideological confrontation of our times. As in that larger confrontation, there has been some tendency for Conservatives to speak with great caution, lest their words be misconstrued by those whose principal argument is always to cast aspersion on the motives of others. Many who would like to see immigration sharply curtailed, or drawn more from human stocks that played the greatest role in formulating the traditional American ethos (the National Origins approach, which worked reasonably well between 1920 and 1965), have hesitated, lest they be pictured as "racist xenophobes" or fear-driven foes of any change. Others hesitate, lest they say things which may hurt the feelings of people they work with, or with whom their children go to school. We have dealt in Chapter Thirteen with the question of How To Recognize The Bigot In The Argument , and with actual implications of the Leftist denial of human differences in Chapter Five, as well as in Chapter Seven (The Lies Of Socialism). These will have some bearing on questions that pertain to the formulation of a wiseor at least intelligentimmigration policy. But a more specifically focused discussion on some widely held, and avidly promoted, fallacies is in order here. Consider:

Extractions: In Search of a Better Life... crime victims who have suffered at the hands of criminal aliens in this country. This website is dedicated to telling the stories of forgotten citizens who still hope that their American dream will not be extinguished. We continue to hope for a better America for the next generation, too, although that tradition is just as endangered by irresponsible mass immigration as our natural resources and the individual freedoms that have been our birthright up to now. ImmigrationsHumanCost recommends increased border control and workplace enforcement with real penalties. The explosion of the underground illegal alien economy is becoming anarchy, threatening dire results for the tax base, fewer available jobs for citizens and the rule of law itself. Government at all levels must make the prosecution and deportation of law-breaking illegal aliens a top priority. That includes drunk driving , as well as theft, rape and murder. All foreign prisoners eligible for deportation must be shipped home at the end of their sentences, not released onto American streets to commit further crimes on innocent citizens. The common excuse that these dangerous criminals "fell through the cracks" is not acceptable when our fellow citizens are being killed, raped and otherwise harmed by these invaders. Furthermore, local governments must end their criminal-protecting sanctuary directives. Such public policy insanity is directly responsible for terrible crimes to innocents as well as making the jobs of police far more difficult. Many cities are experiencing an explosion of drug trafficking, worsened by the inability of police officers to question a suspicious person's status.

The U.S.A. began her existence with three different races in residence, and has never had any choice but to make the best of things. No white American, whatever he might think privately of his black or red fellow-countrymen, could ever, with a clear conscience, say to them: You dont belong here. Go live somewhere else. His black neighbors came here in bondage, and the red ones were already here long before either black or white showed up. Nobody is going anywhere. The actual answer to Rodney Kings famous question Cant we all just get along? is still not clear, at any rate not to me; but we must surely try our best.
