Immigration Policy: Web Quest: The Past and the Present …Where Should the Future Take Us? Franklin High School Last updated

IntroductionTaskProcessEvaluationConclusion TaskProcessEvaluationConclusionTaskProcessEvaluationConclusion The United States is a unique nation for many reasons, today we are going to explore one of those reasons: Immigration. Our country was founded by immigrants and still is populated by immigrants. Over 99% of the students at Franklin can trace immigration back to some where in their families. Over time our thoughts about immigration have changed, and even continues to change. There are many assimilation theories that have historically and are currently in use to describe immigration in this country. Assimilation theories are how people describe immigration- the two prominent theories are: (1) the melting pot theory-that deals with everyone blending into an “American”, and (2) the salad bowl theory- that deals with everyone bringing their own culture and values to become an American. Historically, the government has treated immigrants in many different lights dependant on the group of immigrants and the time period.assimilation

IntroductionIntroductionTaskProcessEvaluationConclusion ProcessEvaluationConclusion IntroductionProcessEvaluationConclusion Your task is to determine how immigrants have been treated throughout time, and how Congress has responded to the immigrants. To do this you must explore several different pieces of immigration legislation. Our time period will range from 1882 to present legislation to get a good overview. After your research stage, we will hold our own Congressional hearing about immigration to help air all of our views about immigration. Your final product will be a letter to your Congressperson about the current immigration policy, and what you feel should be done with immigration in the United States. Let’s get started…hit the process button above.

IntroductionTaskIntroductionTaskProcessEvaluationConclusionEvaluationConclusion Step One: OpenOpen. This is where you will write down your historical research. You have the option of printing it out and writing your information by hand, or typing the information in as you go along. Click here to move to the next slide!!

Step Two: You need to research the legislation that is on your charts. Below are links where you will find information about the legislation. The sources include both primary and secondary sources. Read the instructions as you fill in your chart. Chinese Exclusion Act 1882 Gentleman's Agreement 1907 Immigration Act 1924 Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran- Walter Act) Refugee Relief Act of 1953 Immigration Nationality Act of 1965Immigration Nationality Act of 1965 (scroll down to find out info about act) Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 Immigration Act of 1990 IntroductionTaskIntroductionTaskProcessEvaluationConclusion EvaluationConclusion IntroductionTaskEvaluationConclusion

Recent Trends: Today's immigrants arrive from all parts of the world. The current phase of immigration history began in 1965, when strict quotas based on nationality were eliminated. In 1978, the United States government set a single annual world quota of 290,000, and this ceiling was raised again in 1990 to 700,000. During the 1990s, immigrants have arrived at a pace that at times has exceeded one million new arrivals per year, and have settled in all parts of the country.
