Summary

Immigration Waves offers a comprehensive exploration of how immigration policies have shaped nations, focusing on the economic and cultural impacts of global migration. The book traces historical immigration patterns from the 19th century to the present, highlighting key periods like the mass migrations to the U.S. during the Industrial Revolution and the post-World War II era. It delves into the legislative history of immigration, analyzing laws such as the Immigration Act of 1924 and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, revealing their intended goals and unforeseen consequences. The book argues that immigration is a dynamic process reshaping economies and cultures.

It also explores the cultural enrichment brought by immigrants, from new cuisines to diverse artistic expressions. Utilizing statistical data, legal analyses, and case studies, the book offers a nuanced understanding of immigration's multifaceted nature. Immigration Waves unfolds in three major sections: historical context, examination of significant immigration laws, and exploration of economic and cultural impacts. It connects to disciplines like economics, sociology, and political science, providing a holistic view aimed at students, policymakers, and anyone seeking informed discussions about immigration reform, border security, and citizenship.

On the Legal Democratic Mass...

José Maria Sison

The crisis of the world capitalist system and that of the Philippine ruling system have become worse than in any period after World War II. The US-instigated policies of neoliberal globalization, state terrorism and aggressive war have wrought havoc on the lives of the people and continue to escalate oppression and exploitation. The Filipino people cannot tolerate their suffering and they are fighting back against imperialism and all reaction. 
  
The loss or erosion of livelihoods is the most concrete and widespread impact of the current crisis of the world capitalist system on people's lives, both in the advanced capitalist countries as well as in the underdeveloped countries. Despite recent pronouncements from state officials and the business press that economic recovery is in sight, the global economy continues to tumble with the gross domestic product of the leading capitalist countries still contracting, consumer spending still in decline and unemployment still rising.
