True American: Language, Identity, and the Education of Immigrant Children
By Rosemary C. Salomone
Harvard University Press, 320 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0674046528, $25.20
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0674046528/centerforimmigra
Book Description: How can schools meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population of newcomers? Do bilingual programs help children transition into American life, or do they keep them in a linguistic ghetto? Are immigrants who maintain their native language uninterested in being American, or are they committed to changing what it means to be American?
In this ambitious book, Rosemary Salomone uses the heated debate over how best to educate immigrant children as a way to explore what national identity means in an age of globalization, transnationalism, and dual citizenship. She demolishes popular myths—that bilingualism impedes academic success, that English is under threat in contemporary America, that immigrants are reluctant to learn English, or that the ancestors of today’s assimilated Americans had all to gain and nothing to lose in abandoning their family language.
She lucidly reveals the little-known legislative history of bilingual education, its dizzying range of meanings in different schools, districts, and states, and the difficulty in proving or disproving whether it works—or defining it as a legal right.
In eye-opening comparisons, Salomone suggests that the simultaneous spread of English and the push toward multilingualism in western Europe offer economic and political advantages from which the U.S. could learn. She argues eloquently that multilingualism can and should be part of a meaningful education and responsible national citizenship in a globalized world.

Seeking Asylum: Human Smuggling and Bureaucracy at the Border
By Alison Mountz
Univ Of Minnesota Press, 264 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0816665370, $75.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0816665370/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 0816665389, $43.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0816665389/centerforimmigra
Book Description: In July 1999, Canadian authorities intercepted four boats off the coast of British Columbia carrying nearly six hundred Chinese citizens who were being smuggled into Canada. Government officials held the migrants on a Canadian naval base, which it designated a port of entry. As one official later recounted to the author, the Chinese migrants entered a legal limbo, treated as though they were walking through a long tunnel of bureaucracy to reach Canadian soil.
The “long tunnel thesis” is the basis of Alison Mountz’s wide-ranging investigation into the power of states to change the relationship between geography and law as they negotiate border crossings. Mountz draws from many sources to argue that refugee-receiving states capitalize on crises generated by high-profile human smuggling events to implement restrictive measures designed to regulate migration. Whether states view themselves as powerful actors who can successfully exclude outsiders or as vulnerable actors in need of stronger policies to repel potential threats, they end up subverting access to human rights, altering laws, and extending power beyond their own borders.
Using examples from Canada, Australia, and the United States, Mountz demonstrates the centrality of space and place in efforts to control the fate of unwanted migrants.

Moving Millions: How Coyote Capitalism Fuels Global Immigration
By Jeffrey Kaye
Wiley, 320 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 047042334X, $18.45
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/047042334X/centerforimmigra
Book Description: On the same day that reporter Jeffrey Kaye visited the Tondo hospital in northwest Manila, members of an employees association wearing hospital uniforms rallied in the outside courtyard demanding pay raises. The nurses at the hospital took home about $261 a month, while in the United States, nurses earn, on average, more than fifteen times that rate of pay. No wonder so many of them leave the Philippines.
Between 2000 and 2007, nearly 78,000 qualified nurses left the Philippines to work abroad, but there's more to it than the pull of better wages: each year the Philippine president hands out Bagong Bayani ("modern-day heroes") awards to the country's "outstanding and exemplary" migrant workers. Migrant labor accounts for the Philippines' second largest source of export revenue—after electronics—and they ship out nurses like another country might export textiles. In 2008, the Philippines was one of the top ranking destination countries for remittances, alongside India ($45 billion), China ($34.5 billion), and Mexico ($26.2 billion).
Nurses in the Philippines, farmers in Senegal, Dominican factory workers in rural Pennsylvania, even Indian software engineers working in California—all are pieces of a larger system Kaye calls "coyote capitalism."
Coyote capitalism is the idea—practiced by many businesses and governments—that people, like other natural resources, are supplies to be shifted around to meet demand. Workers are pushed out, pulled in, and put on the line without consideration of the consequences for economies, communities, or individuals.
With a fresh take on a controversial topic, Moving Millions:
*Knocks down myth after myth about why immigrants come to America and what role they play in the economy
*Challenges the view that immigrants themselves motivate immigration, rather than the policies of businesses and governments in both rich and poor nations
*Finds surprising connections between globalization, economic growth and the convoluted immigration debates taking place in America and other industrialized countries
*Jeffrey Kaye is a freelance journalist and special correspondent for the PBS NewsHour for whom he has reported since 1984, covering immigration, housing, health care, urban politics, and other issues
What does it all add up to? America's approach to importing workers looks from the outside like a patchwork of unnecessary laws and regulations, but the machinery of immigration is actually part of a larger, global system that satisfies the needs of businesses and governments, often at the expense of workers in every nation.

Citizenship and Immigration

Polity, 200 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0745642349, $62.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0745642349/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 0745642357, $22.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0745642357/centerforimmigra
Book Description: This incisive book provides a succinct overview of the new academic field of citizenship and immigration, as well as presenting a fresh and original argument about changing citizenship in our contemporary human rights era.
Instead of being nationally resilient or in “postnational” decline, citizenship in Western states has continued to evolve, converging on a liberal model of inclusive citizenship with diminished rights implications and increasingly universalistic identities. This convergence is demonstrated through a sustained comparison of developments in North America, Western Europe and Australia. Topics covered in the book include: recent trends in nationality laws; what ethnic diversity does to the welfare state; the decline of multiculturalism accompanied by the continuing rise of antidiscrimination policies; and the new state campaigns to “upgrade” citizenship in the post-2001 period.
Sophisticated and informative, and written in a lively and accessible style, this book will appeal to upper-level students and scholars in sociology, political science, and immigration and citizenship studies.

Second Promised Land: Migration to Alberta and the Transformation of Canadian Society

Hardcover, ISBN: 0773535179, $100.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0773535179/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 0773535268, $29.95, 568 pp.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0773535268/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Explosive economic growth in resource-rich Alberta has led to a stunning increase in its population. In contrast to Ontario and British Columbia, which have grown primarily through international migration, Alberta has become a magnet for internal migrants, contributing to population redistribution within Canada, with significant national social and economic consequences. Combining statistical analysis and ethnographic study, Harry Hiller uncovers two waves of in-migration to Alberta. His innovative approach begins with the individual migrant and analyzes the relocation experience from origin to destination. Through interviews with hundreds of migrants, Hiller shows that migration is complex and dynamic, shaped not just by what Alberta offers but also prompted by a process that begins in the region of origin that makes migration possible and helps determine whether migrants stay or return home. By combining a social psychological approach with structural factors such as Alberta's transition from a regional hinterland province to its emerging role the global system, discussions of gender, the internet, and folk culture, "Second Promised Land" provides a multi-dimensional and deeply human account of a contemporary Canadian phenomenon.

Immigration and Citizenship in Japan
By Erin Aeran Chung
Cambridge University Press, 224 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0521514045, $75.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0521514045/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Japan is currently the only advanced industrial democracy with a fourth-generation immigrant problem. As other industrialized countries face the challenges of incorporating postwar immigrants, Japan continues to struggle with the incorporation of prewar immigrants and their descendants. Whereas others have focused on international norms, domestic institutions, and recent immigration, this book argues that contemporary immigration and citizenship politics in Japan reflect the strategic interaction between state efforts to control immigration and grassroots movements by multi-generational Korean resident activists to gain rights and recognition specifically as permanently settled foreign residents of Japan. Based on in-depth interviews and fieldwork conducted in Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Osaka, this book aims to further our understanding of democratic inclusion in Japan by analyzing how those who are formally excluded from the political process voice their interests and what factors contribute to the effective representation of those interests in public debate and policy.

Immigration and Self-Government of Minority Nations
Edited by Ricard Zapata-Barrero
Peter Lang Publishing, 177 pp.
Paperback, ISBN: 9052015473, $43.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/9052015473/centerforimmigra
Book Description: During the last two decades, the debate on multiculturalism has been one-dimensional. It has deployed arguments related to cultural demands linked either to feminism, immigration, or national minorities. Little attention has been given to the relations between these dimensions, and how they affect each other. The purpose of this book is to set a research agenda around the interaction between cultural demands of immigrants and minority nations.
The primary aim is to establish basic normative arguments while advancing an institutional analysis in three contexts: Quebec, Flanders and Catalonia. Each part contains two chapters that address the topic in terms of how immigration is seen from a self-government perspective, or how self-government is interpreted from an immigration perspective. The different chapters raise questions related to how this interaction challenges the idea of a culturally homogeneous nation-state, and also pushes us to other conceptualisations of *political community* and de-nationalised forms of citizenship. Current debates on diversity have failed to address these issues in societies where a dual belonging exists.

Weapons of Mass Migration: Forced Displacement, Coercion, and Foreign Policy
By Kelly M. Greenhill
Cornell Univ Press, 320 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0801448719, $25.20
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0801448719/centerforimmigra
Book Description: At first glance, the U.S. decision to escalate the war in Vietnam in the mid-1960s, China's position on North Korea's nuclear program in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the EU resolution to lift what remained of the arms embargo against Libya in the mid-2000s would appear to share little in common. Yet each of these seemingly unconnected and far-reaching foreign policy decisions resulted at least in part from the exercise of a unique kind of coercion, one predicated on the intentional creation, manipulation, and exploitation of real or threatened mass population movements. In Weapons of Mass Migration, Kelly M. Greenhill offers the first systematic examination of this widely deployed but largely unrecognized instrument of state influence. She shows both how often this unorthodox brand of coercion has been attempted (more than fifty times in the last half century) and how successful it has been (well over half the time). She also tackles the questions of who employs this policy tool, to what ends, and how and why it ever works.
Coercers aim to affect target states' behavior by exploiting the existence of competing political interests and groups, Greenhill argues, and by manipulating the costs or risks imposed on target state populations. This 'coercion by punishment' strategy can be effected in two ways: the first relies on straightforward threats to overwhelm a target's capacity to accommodate a refugee or migrant influx; the second, on a kind of norms-enhanced political blackmail that exploits the existence of legal and normative commitments to those fleeing violence, persecution, or privation. The theory is further illustrated and tested in a variety of case studies from Europe, East Asia, and North America. To help potential targets better respond to--and protect themselves against--this kind of unconventional predation, Weapons of Mass Migration also offers practicable policy recommendations for scholars, government officials, and anyone concerned about the true victims of this kind of coercion--the displaced themselves.

Managing Ethnic Diversity after 9/11: Integration, Security, and Civil Liberties in Transatlantic Perspective
Edited by Ariane Chebel d'Appollonia and Simon Reich
Rutgers University Press, 320 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0813547164, $45.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0813547164/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 0813547172, $33.77
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0813547172/centerforimmigra
Book Description: America's approach to terrorism has focused on traditional national security methods, under the assumption that terrorism's roots are foreign and the solution to greater security lies in conventional practices. Europe offers a different model, with its response to internal terrorism relying on police procedures.
Managing Ethnic Diversity after 9/11 compares these two strategies and considers that both may have engendered greater radicalization--and a greater chance of home-grown terrorism. Essays address how transatlantic countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands have integrated ethnic minorities, especially Arabs and Muslims, since 9/11. Discussing the "securitization of integration," contributors argue that the neglect of civil integration has challenged the rights of these minorities and has made greater security more remote.

THE AMERICAS
Congress: Immigration Reform?
President Obama mentioned immigration reform in his January 27, 2010 State of the Union speech, saying: "we should continue the work of fixing our broken immigration system - to secure our borders, enforce our laws, and ensure that everyone who plays by the rules can contribute to our economy and enrich our nation."

DHS: Border, Interior, Services
Mexico-US Border. The US is continuing to build fences to deter migrants and vehicles on the Mexico-US border; about 650 miles of fencing along the 2,000-mile border are completed. The fence has cost an average of $4 million a mile.

Unemployment, Projections, H-1B
The unemployment rate fell to 9.7 percent in January 2010, and remained at 9.7 percent in February and March 2010; the rate was 10 percent in in December 2009. The number of unemployed, 15 million in March 2010, included 6.5 million workers without work six months or more, 44 percent of all the jobless. The unemployment rate was higher in 1981-82, but only a quarter of the unemployed then were without a job for six months or more.

Foreign-Born: Numbers and Effects, Health
Foreign-born. The Pew Hispanic Center in January 2010 reported that the US had 38 million foreign-born residents in 2008; they were 12.5 percent of the 304 million US residents. Between 2000 and 2008, the number of foreign-born residents rose by seven million and the number of US-born residents by 16 million.

Canada, Mexico
Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney proposed changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in October 2009. The changes include more more careful checks to ensure that employer job offers are genuine, require foreign workers employed in Canada four years to leave Canada for at least six years before returning, and bar employers who violate TFWP rules from hiring guest workers for two years. Some 70,000 foreign workers were admitted in 2008; an estimated 300,000 foreign workers were employed in Canada sometime in 2009.

Haiti, Ecuador, Jamaica
Haiti. A 7.0 earthquake on January 12, 2010 killed an estimated 230,000 people, left a million people homeless, and destroyed about 20 percent of the buildings in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. The US government halted the deportation of 30,000 Haitians and offered Haitians in the US when the quake struck temporary protected status for 18 months; the TPS application fee is $470. By April 2010, about 43,000 Haitians had applied for TPS; the total was expected to be 75,000 to 100,000.

IMMIGRATION
Immigration Reform: AgJOBS
AgJOBS. Most farm employers and worker advocates support enactment of the Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits and Security Act or AgJOBS, which would legalize unauthorized farm workers and further streamline the H-2A program. Farm employers organized into the Agriculture Coalition for Immigration Reform (ACIR) and the United Farm Workers (UFW) met with USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack to push AgJOBS. They argued that, without a reliable supply of foreign workers, the share of labor-intensive commodities that are imported would rise.

H-2A: Old Rules, Reactions, Cases
DOL on February 12, 2010 issued a final H-2A rule effective March 15, 2010 that reinstates the 1987-2009 rules, with a few twists. The H-2 program was created in 1952 and modified by the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) in 1986; it became the H-2A program in 1987. In FY09, employers filed 8,150 labor certification applications requesting 103,955 H-2A workers, and DOL certified 94 percent, approving requests for 86,014 H-2A workers.
http://migration.ucdavis.edu/rmn/more.php?id=1531_0_4_0
H-2B: Program, Cases
The Center for Immigration Studies issued a report on the H-2B program in February 2010 that emphasized rapid growth in the number of visas issued, the dominance of large employers and intermediaries in hiring H-2B workers for the maximum 10 months a year, and going-through-the-motions recruitment for US workers. The H-2B program was created by IRCA in 1986, when the previous H-2 program was divided into H-2A for seasonal farm workers and H-2B for seasonal nonfarm workers.

Canada, UK, Australia
The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), Canada's largest private sector union with 250,000 members, was certified to represent 70 Mexican workers admitted under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP) at Sidhu & Sons Nursery in March 2010. Sidhu argued that, because the nursery employed both SAWP and Canadian workers, a SAWP-only unit was not appropriate.
