This document outlines a research study on the discourses that affect perceptions of asylum seekers in Australia. It discusses Australia's history of strict immigration policies and the "White Australia" policy. It also examines common myths and stereotypes that contribute to negative views of asylum seekers, such as the ideas that they are "queue jumpers" or do not have valid reasons for seeking asylum. The study aims to understand the criteria for granting asylum in Australia and the potential political disadvantages of accepting more asylum seekers. It describes the methodology used, including analyzing data on asylum trends and consulting with communities affected by public discourse on the issue.

Immigration Policy
Economic Dynamics and Changes in Attitudes
Toward Undocumented Mexican Immigrants
in Arizona
Priscila Diaz,∗ Delia S. Saenz, and Virginia S.Y. Kwan
Arizona State University
Mexican immigration to the United States comprises an important social issue
in contemporary public policy debate, particularly given the recent passage of
Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070 (SB 1070). The current study investigated how indi-
viduals’ sentiments toward undocumented Mexican immigrants shifted between
2006 and 2009 in Arizona, and also examined economic concomitants to these
shifts. Participants included 3,195 culturally diverse students attending a state
university in Arizona. They reported their attitudes toward undocumented Mex-
ican immigrants regarding housing, employment, values, social welfare, citizen-
ship, health care, and education issues. Results show less-positive attitudes as
each year progressed among European and Latino Americans, as well as other
ethnic minorities. Further, anti-undocumented immigrant sentiment increased as
unemployment increased and gross domestic product real growth rate decreased.
Ethnic differences emerged in the relative negativity toward undocumented immi-
grants such that European Americans were less positive towards undocumented
Mexican immigrants than Latinos over 4 years. These findings suggest that eco-
nomic dynamics may beget anti-immigrant sentiment, leading to contentious leg-
islation, such as Arizona’s recent immigration law.
“America has constantly drawn strength and spirit from wave after wave of immigrants. . .They
have proved to be the most restless, the most adventurous, the most innovative, the most
industrious of people.” – Bill Clinton, 42nd U.S. President

Extract from the 1997 Bringing Them Home report

On 26 May 1997 the landmark Bringing Them Home report was tabled in Federal
Parliament. The report was the result of a national inquiry that investigated the
forced removal of Indigenous children from their families. This marked a pivotal
moment in the healing journey of many Stolen Generations members. It was
the first time their stories—stories of being taken from their families—were
acknowledged in such a way.
It was also the first time it was formally reported that what governments did to
these children was inhumane and the impact has been lifelong.
Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been affected by the
Stolen Generations. The resulting trauma has been passed down to children
and grandchildren, contributing to many of the issues faced in Indigenous
communities, including family violence, substance abuse and self harm.
Two decades on and the majority of the Bringing Them Home recommendations
have not yet been implemented. For many Stolen Generations members, this has
created additional trauma and distress.
Failure to act has caused a ripple effect to current generations. We are now seeing
an increase in Aboriginal people in jails, suicide is on the rise and more children
are being removed.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

What Are The Discourses That Affect The Perception of Asylum Seekers?
1. Introduction
Asylum seekers are considered to be the people who leave their own country due to various
reasons. For instance, they leave their country, mainly for political turmoil or due to the war that
take place in their homeland. In such cases, many people migrates to other countries in the hope
that the government will protect them and will permit them to live there (Dalton, 2006). The
Presented paper would discuss the asylum policies of Australia while analyzing the claims of
stereotype acceptance in asylum requests acceptance.
2. Parameters of the Research
In Australia, it has been considered that the asylum seekers are considered to be the topic for
their debate and on the other hand they have created panic in the whole continent. Since
Federation, in the policy of Australia there has been a strict inclusion of the immigration policy
(McMaster, 2001). In the year 1901, the first inclusion of act by federal parliament was the
Immigration Restriction Act that established a language test for potential migrants in any
European language. In the meanwhile, the Pacific Islander Laborers Act also imposed
restrictions on the advent of the Pacific Island Workers. The measures that have been undertaken
in order to reduce the amount of the immigrant population to white, English speaking people
would be known as ‘White Australia’ policy which is therefore remains intact for the next six
decades.
5. 4
There are many reasons behind the negative sentiments of the Australians towards the asylum
seekers. The most important and constant forecast of this negative sentiment is the receiving the
incorrect information or myths as true. In the year 2006, during a study, an author of an article
found three most mentioned myths that represent the asylum seekers as “queue jumpers’’, illegal
and he also found that they did not have any particular reason for seeking asylum. The study
revealed that people who were high in prejudice have believed in the myths and they considered
it to be true (Healey, 2003).
3. Research Question:
Q.1 what should be the criteria in Australia for providing asylum?
Q.2 what are the consequences of adapting to an asylum offering policy?
Q. 3 are there any political disadvantages of allowing asylum to asylum seekers?
4. Theoretical Framework:
In and onwards the year 1950s, there was a mass migration program and after that the White
Australia policy at last relaxed in the year 1960s. Most of the migration was the result of the
World War II and hence many people were displaced and entered into Australia. Previously,
most the immigrant people were the impacted people of the World War II and formed only a
small proportion but at present the population of migration is more. It has found that the
population that is comprised of both the migrants and the displaced people are accommodated in
a government hostel and at the same time they being trained and provided with other support as
well (Kneebone, 2009). But in the earlier days the migrants or the displaced people did not have
6. 5
any limits on their movement and they had to face various oppositions as they are the newcomers
but they managed to settle their and found work.
Since the year 1990, the asylum policy has been described as a race to the bottom on both sides
of politics. Again in the year 1992, Paul Keating’s Labor government introduced mandatory
detention which means that those who will be arriving to Australia without any valid visa would
be imprisoned. Likewise people who will be arriving in Australia on a valid visa and then
claiming asylum are not to be subjected to mandatory imprisonment. They can remain within the
community as long as there asylum claim. Again the measures taken included the refusal of boats
to enter into the territorial water of Australia and removing Christmas Island form the migration
zone. After the Howard’s election victory and the arrival of more boats, the situation worsened
for the asylum seekers. The measures which were undertaken received full support from the
public and thus the attitudes towards the asylum seekers worsened (Baker et al., 2008).
5. Ethical Issues:
In Australia, the populist public discourse was established through a binary of an ‘US and
‘THEN’ framework where the opposition to them sometimes goes together with the claim to
speak for ordinary people (us) (Mares, 2001).
It was found that the negative public discourse led to a missed opportunity as the community of
Australia does not keep an eye on the asylum seekers regarding their activities. Furthermore, it
has been seen that there are other negatives from the public discourse that has been overlooked
for instance the Psychological impact on some of the migrants in earlier days who relieve some
shocking experiences as a result of the negative coverage of the media and all the other who

withdraws from the contact of the wider community as they feel that they are being rejected by
the Australian society (Abass and Ippolito, n.d.).
6. Methodology
It must be noted that consultation regarding public discourse receives more attention by the
Australians regarding the boat arrivals. It is considered to be important for the Australians to pay
more attention regarding the boat arrivals as the topic has been altered in most of the previous
debates. It has been noted on various consultations that the Australians fear about the boat
arrivals because the discussions provides them such kind of fear in them. For instance, the
problems that they are facing are worsening day by day, the illegal movements of the boat
arrivals or the migrants involves smuggling collectively and thus results to a threat to the
Australian border security (Whittaker, 2006).
The politicians are believed to unite their views, although many of them have different views and
ideas and they want to share those and would console the wider public those who are afraid
however the fear may be unfounded (Donnellan, 1999). The result of the present discourse is
considered to be real. On the other hand, tougher policies have been established in order to
reduce the public fear and these results in spending long time in the overcrowded, remote
imprisoned facilities, families are day by day getting separated and the people living in Australia
failed to mix up with the communities as they feel that they are being regularly judged and
isolated. Furthermore, the facts and reasons have grown fear and sensationalism in this
discourse. The bodies that have to play a vital role in eliminating or changing the discourse for
the benefit of society as a whole are the leaders of the community, politicians, the media, NGOs
and all other individuals (Silove et al., 1997).

7. Data collection:
In order to find facts about the asylum policies, asylum trend data is required. A good way to get
the official data is to follow the annual asylum trends made public by the Australian government.
The recent discourse is vague and divergent thereby creating an overall confusion for both the
public and the people within the refugee sector. After examining certain news outlet blogs and
information obtained through the consultations it has been found that the debate regarding the
rise in the population is mostly raised issues regarding the asylum seekers and refugee are being
discussed. Issues regarding overpopulation, water scarcity and caring for the weak and
marginalized Australians are considered as the same while comparing against taking more
Humane approach to asylum seekers and refugees (Steel and Silove, 2000). At present it is very
important on the basis of the public discourse analysis, to focus on the Christmas Island boat
tragedy of 15th
December 2010. The reason of this is that there was a very realistic imagery
available and thus it must be taken into account at the responses of the public that helps to
understand the event than otherwise the case may have been. In one hand the views of most
participants expressed their concerns over both the media and political representation of the
issues while on the other hand, the representative of the refugees or the asylum seekers and the
entrant communities of the humanitarian have other views regarding the direct impact of the
public discourse on their day to day lives (Bessant, n.d.). For example, people who have settled
in Sydney have not experienced such worse treatment, but people who went to settle in Perth or
Brisbane received hostile treatment. On the other hand, number of refugees has exclaimed that
the most negative and out bursting style was practiced by the politicians and other public figures
had a massive impact on the population settling in Australia, and also those refugees living
around the globe (Sales, 2002).

8. Research Method:
It was found that the politicians often suggests to be supportive of those refugees who are
suffering in the offshore camps but the negative discourse actually hurt the people that came
through the offshore programs. It has also been found that numerous people raised their concerns
regarding the negative stereotype enabled the media to hamper their day to day lives especially
when they are seeking jobs (Stephens and Te Ao, 2014). The early refugees said that the able
employers considered the refugees as people lacking skills. They also considered their views that
the refugees as well as asylum seekers are less economically productive and also contribute very
little to the community. A number of the early refugees expressed their feelings that the hostile
treatment experienced by them has brought a fear within them of whether their families will be
accepted by the Australians or whether they too have to receive the similar kind of treatment by
the Australians (Silove et al., 1998).
Conclusion:
The presented paper sheds some light on the asylum offering policies of Australia. It is found
that the politicians and Australian policies generally support asylum offering to the refugees of
war zones. However, the rise in crime and suspicious activities demands more in-depth
background review of asylum seekers.
