1891 Bureau of Immigration Treasury Department Administer immigration laws Deportation of aliens who entered the USA unlawfully

1892: Ellis Island federal immigrant inspection station

1898 US v. Wong Kim Ark Chinese children born in the USA are citizens of USA

1921 Emergency quota Act quotas based on country of birth: 3% of USA citizens

1952 Immigration and Nationality Act deny unlawful, immoral, diseased, or politically radical (ex.:communist)

Shaping Current Immigration Laws 1965 INA Amendments Repealed national-origin quotas Visas for aliens with skills & family relationships with citizens 1976 Immigration Act eliminated special treatment for residents of the Western Hemisphere

Recently 1982 Plyler v. Doe: struck down a state statute denying funding for education to children of illegal immigrants 1990 Immigration Act: Increased legal immigration ceilings; professionals with U.S. job offers 2002 Visa Entry Reform Act: Requires that schools report foreign students; foreign nationals required to carry IDs with biometric technology 2003 Homeland Security takes over INS 2005 Real ID Act Required use of IDs meeting certain security standards to enter government buildings, board planes, open bank accounts; national standards for state driver licenses.

Wisconsin Ancestry Major Groups 42% German 12% Irish 11% Hungarian 9% Polish 8% Norwegian 6% English

Myths Teaching Tolerance Most immigrants are here illegally. Of 31 million foreign-born people 20 million are legal residents. My ancestors learned English, but today s immigrants refuse. In 1917 there were over 700 German-language newspapers. Two-thirds of those older than 5 speak English well and the demand for adult ESL instruction in the United States far outstrips available classes.

Myths Immigrants take good jobs from Americans. There is little connection between immigrant labor and unemployment rates. Two trends better education and an aging population have resulted in a decrease in the number of Americans willing or available to take low-paying jobs.

Myths Undocumented immigrants bring crime. Since 1994, the violent crime rate has declined 34 percent and the property crime rate has fallen 26 percent, even as the number of undocumented immigrants has doubled. Foreign-born people in America are incarcerated at a much lower rate than nativeborn Americans

Myth Undocumented immigrants don t pay taxes but still get benefits. Undocumented immigrants pay taxes every time they buy gas, clothes or new appliances. They also contribute to property taxes a main source of school funding when they buy or rent a house. The Social Security Administration estimates that threequarters of undocumented immigrants pay federal, state and local taxes, including $6 billion to $7 billion in Social Security taxes for benefits they will never get. They can receive schooling and emergency medical care, but not welfare or food stamps.

Myth Anyone who enters the country illegally is a criminal. Is someone who jaywalks or who doesn t feed a parking meter a criminal? Federal immigration law says that unlawful presence in the country is a civil offense and is, therefore, not a crime. The punishment is deportation.

Children--Education All children, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to a public education. Schools cannot refuse to admit a student during initial enrollment or at any other time on the basis of immigration status. Public schools cannot treat a student differently to verify residence or do something to discourage the right of access to a school.

Education Social Security numbers are not required to enroll in a public school. A school may ask for a social security number as a way to identify each student, but the school must explain that a social security number isn't necessary to begin school.

Education The free and reduced price lunch programs are available to low-income students regardless of their immigration status. Students who don't have a social security number can write "none" or "not applicable" in that space on the form. Migrant and immigrant students are entitled to receive help learning English if it is not their primary language. Under federal law, a student who cannot speak English has the right to receive special assistance to help them learn English, so they can participate in school lessons

2014 Children Crossing Border

Why?

Why? Poverty and gang violence in Central America, especially in Honduras and El Salvador, is driving a substantial exodus to other countries throughout the region. Teenagers in these countries are being recruited to join gangs; if they refuse, the gang will often retaliate against them and their families. What would you do?

Why USA

Why? Congress set the rules on dealing with child migrants under the Bush administration, codified by Congress under the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Congress added some additional protections under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act in 2008. Under current law, the Border Patrol is required to take child migrants who aren't from Mexico into custody, screen them, and transfer them to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (a part of the Department of Health and Human Services).

Going to Even Nicaragua, which is one of the poorest countries on earth, is receiving asylum seekers from Central America. In USA, for example Over 1,000:TX, CA, NY, NJ, MY, FL Over 200: WA, MN, IL, OH Under 50: WI less than ND,WY,MA, VT

The government uses immigration court to figure out which children are eligible to stay

Implication for Educators The question of how to teach immigrant students has provoked perhaps the most bitter, rancorous debates in American education over the past 40 years.
