The documents discuss immigration trends in the US, particularly along the US-Mexico border. Several key points: 1) The US continues to attract the most immigrants worldwide, despite globalization and outsourcing. The US-Mexico border spans 2000 miles and sees over 250 million border crossings annually. 2) While European immigration dominated in the early 20th century, most modern immigrants come from Latin America and Asia, particularly Mexico. Immigrants tend to settle near the southwest border or in major coastal cities. 3) There are estimated to be over 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, over half from Mexico, many traveling solo for work. Undocumented immigrants cluster near the southwest border. 4

Vietnam powerpoint for European Section students
The document is a lesson plan about the Vietnam Conflict that covers its origins and key events from 1960 to 1975. It discusses the involvement of US presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon and their changing policies towards the war. Major topics covered include the escalation of US military involvement under Kennedy and Johnson, the Tet Offensive of 1968, Nixon's Vietnamization policy of withdrawing troops while increasing bombing, and the fall of Saigon in 1975 after the Paris Peace Accords.
Vietnam and us society
The Vietnam War was the first televised war, and television coverage played a major role in shifting US public opinion against the war. Initially, TV portrayed the US in a positive light but starting in 1967, as footage of casualties and atrocities increased, coverage became more critical of US involvement. The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a turning point where victories in Vietnam were overshadowed by changing attitudes at home. The draft brought the war into American homes and society, fueling further dissent. By 1969, massive protests and counterculture events expressed widespread anti-war sentiment in the United States.
NAFTA and USMCA powerpoint
The documents summarize information on globalization, migration trends, the US-Mexico border, NAFTA, and immigration trends in the US. The key points are:
1) Despite globalization and outsourcing, the US continues to attract the most immigrants worldwide. The US-Mexico border sees over 250 million crossings annually.
2) NAFTA aims to reduce trade barriers but does not allow free movement of people. It has led to outsourcing of US manufacturing jobs to Mexico, costing an estimated 1 million US jobs.
3) Most modern immigrants to the US come from Latin America and Asia, especially Mexico. They tend to settle near the US-Mexico border or in traditional immigrant
Battle of Britain and the Blitz 1940.pptx
Winston Churchill gave a speech expressing confidence that Britain would defend itself from the Nazi threat through resolve and sacrifice if necessary. He stated Britain would fight on beaches, landing grounds, fields, streets, and hills, and would never surrender. Britain was prepared to continue fighting alone if needed. Hitler then decided to prepare for a potential invasion of Britain to end its resistance. The Battle of Britain occurred from July to October 1940 and was the first major battle to be fought entirely in the air. Through superior technology like radar and an integrated air defense system, Britain was able to defeat the German air attacks and withstand invasion. This first defeat of Nazi Germany marked a turning point in the war.
Taiwan strait
The document discusses the history of tensions in the Taiwan Strait and different policy options for the US regarding Taiwan. It outlines three Taiwan Strait crises from 1954-1996 when China fired missiles near Taiwan in response to Taiwan moving away from the One-China policy. The document then presents three potential solutions or recommendations for US policy: 1) specify in advance a commitment to defend Taiwan, 2) declare punishment for any actor upsetting the status quo, or 3) continue strategic ambiguity to prevent provocation while preserving the status quo. The author does not make a clear recommendation.
Japanese internment
After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, over 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the west coast, two thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, were forcibly relocated to internment camps in the interior of the country. General John L. DeWitt advocated for their internment due to concerns about potential disloyalty, influenced by his own biases. In February 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the removal and exclusion of people from certain areas, and Japanese Americans were forced to report to camps surrounded by barbed wire in remote desert locations. While the Supreme Court upheld the internment in 1944, Fred Korematsu's conviction was later overturned when it was found the Justice Department withheld evidence

Great depression & financial crisis
The document discusses the causes and impact of the Great Depression. It began in 1929 with the stock market crash in the US and spread worldwide. Key causes included inequality, high tariffs, monetary policy failures, and overproduction. Farmers and workers were greatly impacted as incomes fell sharply. The depression lasted until the early 1940s and was the longest and deepest economic downturn of the 20th century.
Impact of Brexit on world
Brexit is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU). Following a referendum held on 23 June 2016 in which 51.9 percent of those voting supported leaving the EU, the Government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, starting a two-year process which was due to conclude with the UK's exit on 29 March 2019. That deadline has since been extended to 31 October 2019.
Russia Ukraine War 2022
On 24 February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine, in a major escalation of the Russo Ukrainian War that began in 2014. It is the largest military attack in Europe since World War II.Following the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity in February 2014, Russia annexed Crimea and Russian backed separatists seized part of south east Ukraine, starting the war in Donbas. In 2021, Russia began a large military build up along its border with Ukraine, leading to an international crisis. During this period, the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, espoused Russian irredentist views, questioned Ukraines right to statehood, and accused NATO of threatening Russias security, demanding that Ukraine be barred from ever joining the alliance. Putin also baselessly accused Ukraine of committing genocide against its Russian speakers. The United States and others accused Russia of planning to attack or invade Ukraine, which Russian officials repeatedly denied as late as 23 February 2022.

CAPE HISTORY Causes of world war i
The document summarizes the system of alliances in Europe leading up to World War 1. Key events include:
- Bismarck created a system of alliances to isolate France after the Franco-Prussian war, including the Three Emperors' League and Dual Alliance with Austria.
- The Triple Alliance was formed in 1882 between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy in response to the Franco-Russian Alliance of 1893.
- Britain remained isolated until forming the Entente Cordiale with France in 1904 to counter growing German influence, completing the two opposing alliance systems in Europe on the eve of World War 1.
The Economics of Brexit for the UK Economy
On June 23rd 2016 the UK voted in a referendum to leave the European Union.
Prime Minister David Cameron resigned the morning after the vote
A few weeks later, Theresa May was elected leader of the Conservative Party and new Prime Minister.
The terms of the UK’s new economic relationship with the EU remain uncertain.
Hard Brexit
Means that the United Kingdom leaves the EU Single Market and trades under World Trade Organization rules
Under WTO rules, each member must grant the same market access—including charging the same tariffs—to all other members as the most favoured nation
Soft Brexit
Involves the option of staying in the Single Market (like Norway)
As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), Norway has a free trade agreement with the European Union, which means that there are no tariffs on trade between the two
Sec 4 chapter 4.1 the end of cold war
The document discusses the end of the Cold War. It states that the collapse of the Soviet Union was not due to military force by NATO, as no tanks fired or bombs fell. Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in the 1980s allowed criticism of the Soviet government and led to reforms of the communist system. This loss of confidence in communist rule, along with economic stagnation, contributed to the peaceful dissolution of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War without direct military confrontation.
AS GEOGRAPHY REVISION - MIGRATION - 5.2 INTERNAL MIGRATION
In 3 sentences:
Rural-urban and peripheral-core region migration are most common, though rural-rural migration occurs in developing nations for reasons like employment, family, and marriage. Migration between urban areas involves step migration up the hierarchy as migrants' knowledge and finances increase, alongside other urban-urban moves for education and jobs. Reasons for relocation can be viewed at macro, meso, and micro scales focusing on socioeconomics, origin/destination factors, and individual circumstances, respectively.
Brexit
The document discusses the economic, political, and cultural reasons for Brexit. Politically, sovereignty was a major factor for those who voted to leave, as EU policies limited the UK's ability to determine its own immigration and trade policies. Culturally, some saw EU membership and free movement as a threat to local UK culture and increased security risks. Economically, the UK contributes significantly more to the EU budget than it receives in benefits and subsidies, and EU policies have negatively impacted some UK industries and jobs. Overall, the relationship imposed high financial, economic, political and cultural costs on the UK, leading it to ultimately decide to withdraw from the EU.
Changing Cold War relations - Detente
During the 1970s, relations between the US and USSR improved through a policy of détente, with both sides taking steps to reduce nuclear weapons and the risk of war. Key events included Nixon's visit to China and Moscow in 1972, the SALT I agreement that limited nuclear weapons, and the Helsinki Accords in 1975 that established agreements on borders and human rights. However, détente ended in the late 1970s due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.

The cartoon from 1933 depicts the League of Nations as a doormat, with a Japanese soldier trampling over the League and its covenant while it bows down and welcomes the soldier. A figure representing the British Foreign Secretary powders the League's face in an attempt to save face and make excuses rather than stand up to Japan. The cartoonist David Low criticized the League's leaders for allowing Japan to triumph over the League in Manchuria without consequences.
Is Clausewitz Still Relevant Today?
Clausewitz's concept of the trinity of war - comprising the emotional element of the population, the rational element of political objectives, and the element of chance and military skill - remains relevant for understanding modern war according to the author. While technology and new actors like non-state groups have changed warfare, wars still involve rational goals, popular support, and military decision-making. The author argues Clausewitz helps analyze how the nature of war links to its social and political implications, and his concepts of friction and the possibility of absolute war still apply despite new weapons like nuclear arms. Therefore, On War remains useful for comprehending wars in the 21st century.

Trade war USA VS china.pptx
The trade war between the United States and China began in 2018 and has escalated over time with both countries imposing tariffs on billions of dollars worth of each other's goods. The trade war has had mixed effects on both economies, hurting some industries but boosting others. It has also slowed global economic growth and disrupted international supply chains. While some short-term gains have been made by both sides, the long-term costs of a prolonged trade war could outweigh any benefits as it damages economic relationships and cooperation.
International Migration, mex- US
International migration from Mexico to the United States has been driven by both push and pull factors. Push factors in Mexico included lack of economic opportunities, poverty, and lack of access to education and healthcare. Pull factors in the United States included abundant job opportunities, higher wages, and better access to services. The Bracero program initially brought Mexican workers to the US as guest workers to address labor shortages, but many overstayed their visas and became undocumented immigrants. While US businesses benefited from cheaper labor, American workers opposed immigration due to fears over jobs and cultural issues. Over time, undocumented immigration from Mexico significantly increased despite various reforms and policies.

The US-Mexico Border and Mexican
Migration to the United States:
A 21st Century Review
Jacqueline Mazza
This article juxtaposes key recent trends in international immigration to the United
States with President Trump’s focus on the US-Mexico border and Mexican migra-
tion to the United States as the principal source of recent undocumented migration
to the United States. The article analyzes recent trends in Mexican, Latin American,
and other foreign national migration to the United States, demonstrating the reduced
role of border crossings as the source of undocumented migration, the reduced role of
Mexican migrants as those making border crossings, and the increased role of non-
border entrance into the United States as greater challenge to undocumented migration
and jobs for US citizens. Drawing on recent data and studies, the article argues that
the reduction of undocumented immigration, should that be the policy goal, would be
more cost-effectively achieved through an emphasis on non-border policies: catching
visa overstayers, enforcement of employer sanctions, improvements in the H-1B and
H-2B visa program, and targeted support for US citizens to fill labor market demand.
The article argues that the focus on border security and Mexico is outdated and
counterfactual for the migration and jobs challenges mostly likely to face the Trump
administration in the next four years.
Introduction
The United States-Mexico border is unique in nearly every respect. In 1848,
the entire border region was part of Mexico, and consequently, Mexican cul-
ture, food, and the Spanish language are ever-present. Today, the 2,000-mile
border is mostly private property, with more than 1,200 miles comprising the
34 SAIS Review Summer–Fall 2017
Rio Grande river, creating a natural border that winds through Western Texas,
separating Mexico on.

Here are some possible past exam questions related to factors that influenced US foreign policy in Vietnam:
- Analyze how public opinion in the US influenced decision-making regarding the Vietnam War between 1964-1968. (2012)
- "The military-industrial complex was the main driving force behind continued US escalation in Vietnam." Critically evaluate this view. (2015)
- To what extent did geopolitical concerns, such as the domino theory, shape John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson's policies towards Vietnam in the period 1961-1968? (2017)
- Compare and contrast the influence of the Pentagon and the State Department on US foreign policy decision-making regarding Vietnam under the presidencies

The US-Mexico Border and Mexican
Migration to the United States:
A 21st Century Review
Jacqueline Mazza
This article juxtaposes key recent trends in international immigration to the United
States with President Trump’s focus on the US-Mexico border and Mexican migra-
tion to the United States as the principal source of recent undocumented migration
to the United States. The article analyzes recent trends in Mexican, Latin American,
and other foreign national migration to the United States, demonstrating the reduced
role of border crossings as the source of undocumented migration, the reduced role of
Mexican migrants as those making border crossings, and the increased role of non-
border entrance into the United States as greater challenge to undocumented migration
and jobs for US citizens. Drawing on recent data and studies, the article argues that
the reduction of undocumented immigration, should that be the policy goal, would be
more cost-effectively achieved through an emphasis on non-border policies: catching
visa overstayers, enforcement of employer sanctions, improvements in the H-1B and
H-2B visa program, and targeted support for US citizens to fill labor market demand.
The article argues that the focus on border security and Mexico is outdated and
counterfactual for the migration and jobs challenges mostly likely to face the Trump
administration in the next four years.
Introduction
The United States-Mexico border is unique in nearly every respect. In 1848,
the entire border region was part of Mexico, and consequently, Mexican cul-
ture, food, and the Spanish language are ever-present. Today, the 2,000-mile
border is mostly private property, with more than 1,200 miles comprising the

Questions to Consider
A century ago, immigrants were overwhelmingly white and from Europe.
Since the 1980s, most immigrants have been coming to the United States
from Asia and the Americas (excluding Canada). How have these new waves
ofimmigrants shaped U.S. culture? How have these newcomers transformed
urban areas? Which models discussed earlier-assimilation, ethnic plural-
ism, and melting pot-might best describe the current and future experi-
ences of recent arrivals to the United States? Why do some groups in the
United States feel threatened about current trends in immigration?
C
ontemporary immigration refers
to the period of large-scale, non-
European immigration to the United
States that has begun to accelerate since the

late 1960s after a long hiatus of restricted
immigration (Massey 1995). Between 1971
and 1995, the United States admitted approx-
imately 17.1 million immigrants, including
1.6 million formerly unauthorized aliens
and 1.1 million "special agricultural work-
ers" (SAWs) who were granted permanent
resident status under the provisions of the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of
1986 (IRCA:). The scale of contemporary
immigration almost matched that during
442 Min Zhou
the first quarter of the century (17.2 million
admissions between 1901 and 1925), when
immigration to the United States was at its
peak. Although similar in numbers, the
annual admission trends in these two peak
periods looked quite different. During the
first twenty-five years of the century, annual
admission numbers fluctuated drastically
with several noticeable ebbs and flows. In
contrast, during the twenty-five years near
the end of the millennium, the inflows were
fairly steady, which had been kept under
the half-million mark until 1978 and then
gradually increased from 1978 to 1988. The
year 1989 witnessed a sudden surge beyond
the one-million mark that lasted for the next
three consecutive years. This surge was
almost entirely represented by the legaliza-
tion of the formerly undocumented popula-
tion permitted by IRCA. Clearly, had it not
been for IRCA, immigration trends would
have been stable, though heading in a grad-
ual, upward direction.!
Just as the turn-of-the-century immi-
gration dramatically transformed America,
contemporary immigration has repeated
history, changing the face of America in
ways that are unique and challenging the
traditional views of immigrant incorpora-
tion. In this chapter, I specifically examin ...

Mexican Immigration Research Paper
This document discusses Mexican immigration to the United States. It begins by explaining that illegal immigration occurs when poor people from other countries try to immigrate without enough money. It then discusses some of the key causes of Mexican immigration to the US, including poor economic conditions in Mexico dating back to the Mexican Revolution. During WWII, many Mexican immigrants came to the US to work as farmers after American workers were drafted. More recently, immigration continues due to poverty and lack of opportunities in Mexico.
Current issues and trends
This document discusses changing demographics in the United States, focusing on diversity and population shifts among major ethnic groups. It notes that while the US appears increasingly diverse, demographer William Frey's research found that minority populations remain concentrated in specific regions and metro areas. The document then examines population trends among Hispanics, Asians, blacks, and whites, finding that while Hispanics and Asians continue concentrating in gateway cities, both groups are dispersing more rapidly to new areas. It also discusses the movement of blacks to the growing Southern cities and of whites to states in the West, South, and Rockies.
Online research 2
This document summarizes immigration trends between the US and Mexico. It finds that the number of immigrants from Mexico to the US has drastically declined since the mid-2000s due to job losses during the recession. Population surveys from both countries show significant movement back to Mexico as well as decreased immigration to the US in recent years. US border patrol data also indicates a one-third decrease in apprehensions of Mexicans attempting to cross the border illegally.
Migration
The document discusses the topic of migration between Mexico and the United States. It outlines both "push" factors like violence and poverty in Mexico that encourage emigration, as well as "pull" factors like jobs and a higher standard of living in the US that attract immigrants. Over 12 million Mexican immigrants currently live in the US, both legally and illegally. This large-scale migration affects both countries economically, socially, and politically.
American immigrants
Immigration has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of American history. The first European settlers arrived around 1600, and immigration has occurred in successive waves from various parts of Europe and Asia over time. Reasons for immigration include poverty, armed conflict, economic hardships, and more. Immigrants now make up a significant portion of the US population and economy. The American Dream of achieving prosperity through hard work has attracted many immigrants and remains an integral part of the national identity.
Hist 141 theme 7
This document discusses Britain's declining influence and economic troubles in Latin America in the mid-20th century. As the US gained power after WWII, Britain went into debt to the US and Latin American countries. Britain's pre-1914 investments in Latin America were transferred to local governments to pay off debts. The document also examines political and economic instability in newly independent Latin American countries in the early 19th century, including Mexico facing invasion and conflicts over the role of the church.
CAMBRIDGE AS GEOGRAPHY - CASE STUDY: MEXICAN MIGRATION TO USA
This case study examines migration from Mexico to the US over the past 40 years. It identifies key push and pull factors, including high population growth and economic crises in Mexico, and demand for low-skilled labor in the US. Mexican migrants have concentrated in border states like California and Texas, working mainly in agriculture, construction, and services. While migration rates have declined since the late 1990s, over 12 million Mexican-born individuals lived in the US by 2006. The document also discusses the impacts on both Mexico and the US, such as remittances sent to Mexico and debates over cultural and economic effects in the US.
Migration To The United States Of America
This document discusses migration to the United States. It provides background information on migration, a brief overview of the US, and examines the impacts of migration on environmental, social, economic, and political issues in the US. Specifically, it notes that immigration contributes to US population growth, which impacts the environment. It also discusses how contact with immigrants can influence Americans' views of immigrants, and how Hispanic immigrants have been affected by economic downturns. The document concludes that migration to the US is generally positive but should have appropriate boundaries and security measures.

This document summarizes opposing viewpoints on whether third world immigration poses a threat to America's way of life. It introduces Peter Brimelow and John Isbister who argue opposing sides of the issue. Brimelow asserts that large influxes of non-European immigrants threaten American cultural foundations by undermining traditional safeguards against cultural disintegration. Isbister cites research showing immigration has a negligible economic impact and that a more multicultural society will benefit Americans in the long run. The document provides excerpts from both authors to illustrate their arguments.
Immincities
While the US is often seen as the main destination for immigrants during mass transatlantic migration, this was not entirely accurate. Large numbers also went to South America, especially Argentina and Brazil, and to Canada. In the century before 1924, Argentina received over 5.5 million immigrants and Canada over 4.5 million, comprising a larger portion of their smaller overall populations than immigrants did in the US. However, the US still received the largest total number of immigrants, over three-fifths of all immigrants from the early 19th century to WWII. These immigrants came from a more diverse array of countries, allowing for greater interethnic interaction and making American cities more multicultural, leading to the description of the US as a "

People of Mexican
Heritage
Chapter 18
RICK ZOUCHA and CECILIA A. ZAMARRIPA
Overview, Inhabited Localities,
and Topography
OVERVIEW
People of Mexican heritage are a very diverse group geo-
graphically, historically, and culturally and are not easy to
describe. Although no specific set of characteristics can
fully describe people of Mexican heritage, some common-
alities distinguish them as an ethnic group, with many
regional variations that reflect subcultures in Mexico and
in the United States. A common term used to describe
Spanish-speaking populations in the United States,
including people of Mexican heritage, is Hispanic.
However, the term can be misleading and can encompass
many different people clustered together owing to a com-
mon heritage and lineage from Spain. Many Hispanic
people prefer to be identified by descriptors more specific
to their cultural heritage, such as Mexican, Mexican
American, Latin American, Spanish American, Chicano,
Latino, or Ladino. Therefore, when referring to Mexican
Americans, use that phrase instead of Hispanic or Latino
(Vázquez, 2001). As a broad ethnic group, people of
Mexican heritage often refer to themselves as la raza,
which means “the race.” The Spanish word for race has a
different meaning than the American interpretation of
race. The concept of la raza has brought people together
from separate worlds to make families and is about inclu-
sion (Vázquez, 2000).
HERITAGE AND RESIDENCE
Mexico, with a population of 107,449,525 (CIA, 2007), is
a blend of Spanish white and Indian, Native American,
Middle Eastern, and African. Mexican Americans are
descendants of Spanish and other European whites;
Aztec, Mayan, and other Central American Indians; and
Inca and other South American Indians as well as people
from Africa (Schmal & Madrer, 2007). Some individuals
can trace their heritage to North American Indian tribes
in the southwestern part of the United States.
Mexico City, one of the largest cities in the world, has
a population of over 20 million. Mexico is undergoing
rapid changes in business and health-care practices.
Undoubtedly, these changes have accelerated and will
continue to accelerate with the passage of the North
American Free Trade Agreement as people are more able
to move across the border to seek employment and edu-
cational opportunities.
Historically, people of Mexican heritage lived on the
land that is now known as the southwestern United
States for generations, long before the first white settlers
came to the territory. By 1853, approximately 80,000
Spanish-speaking settlers lived in the area lost by Mexico
during the Texas Rebellion, the Mexican War, and the
Gadsden Purchase. After the northern part of Mexico was
annexed to the United States, the settlers were not offi-
cially considered immigrants but were often viewed as
foreigners by incoming white Americans. By 1900,
Mexican Americans numbered approximately 200,000.
However, during the “Great Migration” between 1900
.
IS491FinalPaper
This document provides a summary of Mexican immigration to the United States from the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo through the implementation of NAFTA. It discusses how periods of labor shortages, such as during World Wars I and II, led to increases in Mexican immigration through programs like the Bracero Program. The end of these programs did not stop immigration and instead saw a rise in undocumented immigration and operations to deport immigrants, such as Operation Wetback. The growth of maquiladoras along the US-Mexico border also increased immigration as manufacturing jobs moved to Mexico.
US Immigrants - Friends or Fiends
This document discusses the debate around immigration to the U.S. It notes that while immigrants have historically contributed to U.S. economic growth and prosperity, the debate has taken different turns as some native-born Americans see immigration as a threat. While most agree some level of immigration is acceptable, there is disagreement around how many and what types of immigrants to allow. The document also outlines some arguments made against immigration and taxes paid by undocumented immigrants. It concludes that the debate is complicated by politics and gerrymandering that reduces incentives for compromise.

The document summarizes the creation of the welfare state in the UK between 1945-1951. It discusses the historical context including proposals from the Liberal party in the early 1900s. It then covers the 1942 Beveridge Report which laid out reforms to address unemployment, poverty, illness, ignorance, and poor housing conditions. This led to the 1945 election where the Labour party campaigned on implementing the Beveridge Report and established the welfare state by passing reforms for social security, healthcare, education, housing, and employment. However, problems with reforms contributed to the Conservatives regaining power in 1951.

London's problems and challenges Housing and Transport
London faces significant housing challenges including a growing population that increases housing demand by 35,000 households per year. By 2021, London will need roughly 800,000 new homes to meet this demand. However, house prices in London are 50% higher than the rest of the UK, home ownership is less than 50%, and there is a lack of affordable housing options as social housing only represents 24% of dwellings and over 80,000 homes are empty. As a result, over 400,000 Londoners are on housing waiting lists or receive housing benefits.

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

NAFTA and USMCA From OUTsourcing to BACKsourcing.pptx
- 1. Free Trade Agreements NAFTA / USMCA The US-Mexico Border From OUTSOURCING to BACKSOURCING
- 2. World Migration and Immmigration Tendencies United Nations report 2012 Despite the phenomenon of globalisation and the outsourcing of production and jobs to south east Asia and the other emerging world economies, the USA continues to be the country which attracts the most immigrants in the world.
- 3. The US-Mexico Border – Le Frontera – Facts and Figures The US-Mexico border is the international border between the two states it runs for 1969 miles or 3000km. It is the most frequently crossed border in the world with over 250 million people crossing every year. It runs from San Diego / Tijuana on the Pacific coast to Brownsville / Matamoros in the Gulf of Mexico. Between these two extremities, the border crosses different terrains: the Rio Grande and the Colorado river, as well as scorching deserts and huge urban conurbations
- 9. It is estimated that around 1 million manufacturing jobs were lost in the USA due to NAFTA and outsourcing by US companies.

- 13. History of Demograhics and Ethnicity in the USA
- 14. A Timeline of American Immigration and Immigrants' Origins
- 15. Document 1 Immigration Bar Graph The bar chart shows that the USA has always attracted millions of immigrants to its shores, from the middle of the 19th century up to today. The numbers of immigrants has fluctuated with high points at the turn of the 20th century , a low point during and after WWII followed by a steady rise up to today when numbers are at an all time high. Document 2 Bar Graph of Immigrants' Origins What has changed is the region of origin of the immigrants. Historically, it was Europeans who emigrated massively at the trurn of the 20th century and then their numbers gradually dwindled up to and following WWII. If immigration has increased since that time it is because of new immigrants from Asia but essentially Latin America who have arrived in their millions.
- 16. The New Immigarnts and where they settle
- 17. Document 3 Chart showing countries of origin of modern day immigrants This pie chart shows the make up of modern day immigrants arriving in the USA. Whilst 41% come from all over the world, 59% of thenew immigrants are from Latin America or South East Asia including India. By far the largest group of immigrants from one country are the Mexicans who make up over a quarter of all immigrants. Document 4 Map of the USA showing where immigrants settle This dot map shows clearly that the new immigrants have not spread evenly throughout the country. They have massed together in specific areas such as New York (wealth), the Great Lakes (industry), Florida (employment) but especially in Texas and on the west coast - the US-Mexican border runs between Texas and California. The vast majority of new Mexican immigrants have settled here (proximity/family) which has given rise to numerous problems (language/education/employment).
- 18. The Origins and Makeup of Illegal Immigration
- 19. Document 5 Origins and settlement of illegal immigrants The pie chart shows that the vast majority of illigal immigrants in the USA are from Latin America (over three quarters) and well over half of all illegal immigrants come specifically from Mexico. The bar chart shows us that the illegal immigrants have stayed very close to the border region of the USA and Mexico, especially California but also Florida, adding to the number of legal immigrants already there. Document 6 Make up of the illegal immigrant population The first pie chart shows the huge number of illegal immigrants in the USA – 11 million at the time but now around 13 million. Mexicans make up more than half of the number of illegal immigrants in the USA. More importantly, a high number are solo males and females which means young people looking for work, housing, education and eventually a family life.
- 20. The Effects of the New Immigration on Traditional American Society
- 21. Document 7 Graph showing evolution of the Hispanic population of the USA This bar graph shows how the Hispanic population has increased 17 fold (1700%) since 1950 to reach 68 miliion today. Knowing that the population of the USA is around 317 million, the Hispanics make up 21% of the total number. The projection shows the possible evolution until 2050 when their number will have tripled, challenging caucasians as the main ethnic group in the country. Document 8 Graph of changing make up of US society between 2010 and 2030 What this bar chart makes clear is that all the ethnic groups which make up US society are stable (Black) or increasing (Asian, Other, Hispanic). The only ethnic group which is decreasing as a precentage of the total population are the caucasians (white).
