ICE Charges Criminal Activity in Fewer Deportation Proceedings
April 2012
http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/281/

Excerpt: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is identifying fewer individuals as deportable owing to alleged criminal activity, according to the latest Immigration Court data on new deportation proceedings. During the most recent quarter (January - March 2012), ICE sought to deport a total of 5,450 individuals on criminal grounds. While this number is preliminary and is likely to increase once late reports are in, it represents a drastic decrease compared with 10,732 individuals against whom ICE sought deportation orders just two years ago (during the period January - March 2010).

Migrant Remittances Newsletter
Vol. 8, No. 1, May 2011
http://microlinks.kdid.org/sites/microlinks/files/resource/files/Remitt…

Excerpt:

The cost of sending remittances fell during the recession,with a slight uptick in recent months. Remittance costshave fallen since 2008 by 0.3percentage points to an average 8.68 percent of the total amount of the remittance (see Figure 1). This average masks a far greater drop in some countries and an increase in the price of a remittance in others. The World Bank’s target is to reduce the global average cost of sending a remittance from 10 percent to 5
percent by the year 2014.

According to recent data, Africa has seen the largest cost decrease in the last three years. Sending US$200 in 2008 cost 12.46 percent of the total amount sent, but by 2010 the cost had fallen 2 percentage points to 10.46 percent of the total amount sent. Asia followed with a 1.6 percentage point drop to 6.95 percent of the total cost. The reduction in costs may be attributed to improvements in technology, policies and regulation within the remittances market that
increase competition, and market pressures to lower costs.

Remittance costs in Latin America increased by a slight 0.4 percentage points in 2010 following a drop of 0.3 percent in 2009. Costs in the region remain among the world’s lowest, and are on average below 8.2 percent. The region also experiences smaller fluctuations in cost due to a more developed remittances market and relatively high levels of competition. In contrast to other regions, costs in Europe and Oceania have been slowly increasing since 2008.

National Insecurities: Immigrants and U.S. Deportation Policy since 1882
By Deirdre M. Moloney

The University of North Carolina Press, 328 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 080783548X, $34.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/080783548X/centerforimmigra

Kindle, Page Numbers Source ISBN: 080783548X, ASIN: B007VENTAG, 528 KB, $19.22

Book Description: For over a century, deportation and exclusion have defined eligibility for citizenship in the United States and, in turn, have shaped what it means to be American. In this broad analysis of policy from 1882 to present, Deirdre Moloney places current debates about immigration issues in historical context. Focusing on several ethnic groups, Moloney closely examines how gender and race led to differences in the implementation of U.S. immigration policy as well as how poverty, sexuality, health, and ideologies were regulated at the borders.

Run for the Border: Vice and Virtue in U.S.-Mexico Border Crossings
By Steven W. Bender

NYU Press, 256 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 0814789528, $39.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0814789528/centerforimmigra

Kindle, Page Numbers Source ISBN: 0814789528, ASIN: B007X2D18G, 481 KB, $20.28

Book Description: Mexico and the United States exist in a symbiotic relationship: Mexico frequently provides the United States with cheap labor, illegal goods, and, for criminal offenders, a refuge from the law. In turn, the U.S. offers Mexican laborers the American dream: the possibility of a better livelihood through hard work. To supply each other’s demands, Americans and Mexicans have to cross their shared border from both sides. Despite this relationship, U.S. immigration reform debates tend to be security-focused and center on the idea of menacing Mexicans heading north to steal abundant American resources. Further, Congress tends to approach reform unilaterally, without engaging with Mexico or other feeder countries, and, disturbingly, without acknowledging problematic southern crossings that Americans routinely make into Mexico.

In Run for the Border, Steven W. Bender offers a framework for a more comprehensive border policy through a historical analysis of border crossings, both Mexico to U.S. and U.S. to Mexico. In contrast to recent reform proposals, this book urges reform as the product of negotiation and implementation by cross-border accord; reform that honors the shared economic and cultural legacy of the U.S. and Mexico. Covering everything from the history of Anglo crossings into Mexico to escape law authorities, to vice tourism and retirement in Mexico, to today’s focus on Mexican border-crossing immigrants and drug traffickers, Bender takes lessons from the past 150 years to argue for more explicit and compassionate cross-border cooperation.

Steeped in several disciplines, Run for the Border is a blend of historical, cultural, and legal perspectives, as well as those from literature and cinema, that reflect Bender’s cultural background and legal expertise.

Chinese Mexicans: Transpacific Migration and the Search for a Homeland, 1910-1960
By Julia Maria Schiavone Camacho

The University of North Carolina Press, 244 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 0807835404, $34.06
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0807835404/centerforimmigra

Kindle, Page Numbers Source ISBN: 0807882593, ASIN: B007RPZOZC, 2633 KB, $23.97

Book Description: At the turn of the twentieth century, a wave of Chinese men made their way to the northern Mexican border state of Sonora to work and live. The ties--and families--these Mexicans and Chinese created led to the formation of a new cultural identity: Chinese Mexican. During the tumult of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, however, anti-Chinese sentiment ultimately led to mass expulsion of these people. Julia Maria Schiavone Camacho follows the community through the mid-twentieth century, across borders and oceans, to show how they fought for their place as Mexicans, both in Mexico and abroad.

Tracing transnational geography, Schiavone Camacho explores how these men and women developed a strong sense of Mexican national identity while living abroad—in the United States, briefly, and then in southeast Asia where they created a hybrid community and taught their children about the Mexican homeland. Schiavone Camacho also addresses how Mexican women challenged their legal status after being stripped of Mexican citizenship because they married Chinese men. After repatriation in the 1930s-1960s, Chinese Mexican men and women, who had left Mexico with strong regional identities, now claimed national cultural belonging and Mexican identity in ways they had not before.

History, Memory and Migration: Perceptions of the Past and the Politics of Incorporation
By Irial Glynn, J. Olaf Olaf Kleist, and J. Olaf Kleist

Palgrave Macmillan, 267 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 0230293387, $68.69
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0230293387/centerforimmigra

Kindle, Page Numbers Source ISBN: 0230293387, ASIN: B007ZQXS1A, 1229 KB, $64.00

Book Description: As the growing diversity of societies is recognised as both an asset and a challenge, academia has been forced to re-evaluate some of its basic assumptions about migrant incorporation and social memories. However, scholars have rarely combined Migration Studies and Memory Studies to consider how perceptions of the past affect the incorporation of immigrants in their host societies. The authors in this volume merge the extensive knowledge and relevant findings produced in both fields. They demonstrate, through a series of empirical studies from Europe, North America, Australia, Asia and the Middle East, how various actors have referenced diverse conceptions of their local, regional and national pasts to include and exclude immigrants from receiving societies. By focusing on how the presentation of a certain past relates to the immigration present, the book aims to examine the relationship between the politics of memory and the incorporation of immigrants.

Migration and Social Cohesion in the U.K.
By Mary J.J. Hickman, Nicola Mai, and Helen Crowley

Palgrave Macmillan, 240 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 023024355X, $77.14
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/023024355X/centerforimmigra

Kindle, Page Numbers Source ISBN: 023024355X, ASIN: B007ZQY78S, 564 KB, $72.00

Book Description: This book argues that social cohesion is achieved through people (new arrivals as well as the long-term settled) being able to resolve the conflicts and tensions within their day-to-day lives in ways that they find positive and viable. These everyday tensions and difficulties are not the result of segregated communities or introduced by problematic new arrivals but rather arise from the conditions of postindustrialism, individualism and neoliberalism. These social and economic forces shape the contours of people's everyday lives, varying according to where they live and the histories of those places. Most important are the histories and narratives of earlier migrations in each place. This book challenges the prevailing view that social cohesion is about the assimilation of new immigrants through acceptance of shared values of Britishness. Rather social cohesion is achieved through people's broad acceptance of a diverse Britain and by navigating the fine lines between separateness and commonalities/differences and unity in the places where they live.

Migrant Smuggling: Irregular Migration from Asia and Africa to Europe
By Anna Triandafyllidou and Thanos Maroukis

Palgrave Macmillan, 256 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 0230296378, $70.56
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0230296378/centerforimmigra

Kindle, ASIN: B007PZVNFO, 2263 KB, $67.03

Book Description: This book explores one important aspect of international irregular migration, notably the smuggling of migrants from Asia and Africa into southern European countries. During the last two decades, international migration has intensified both across the East to West and South to North axis,with Europe receiving increasing numbers of migrants from developing countries in Africa and Asia (and also Latin America), and this work examinesthis international movement of people that oftentakes place illegally and involves either unlawful border crossings or overstaying (with or without a visa). The book also discusses how migration control policies in southern European countries may inadvertently shape the migrant smuggling phenomenon and the smuggling 'business'.
