IMMIGRANTS COMING TO THE U.S Do you know the values of the different groups coming into the United States? Just recently, a law through the quota system was passed, reducing the amount of immigrants from non-protestant countries into the United States from three percent to two percent. I believe some immigrants are bringing good values to the United States but others not so much. From 1910 to now one tenth of Mexico's adult population moved to the U.S for a better life. Today there are thirty thousand mexicans living in Chicago and ninety thousand in California. This large group is called Chicanos. The majority of them came to escape Mexico's low wages and high taxes. Chicanos are skilled in a variety of differents careers. During agriculture offseason they work in steel automobile factories, oil refineries, textile mills, sugar refineries and mines. A benefit these immigrants have that others do not is that they are close to home and can go see their family and friends on occasion. Another large group of immigrants that have came to the U.S are Asians. A lot of Asians live in Seattle working in vineyards and lumber mills.There are also several of Japanese people living in big cities running businesses such as
such as grocery stores, hotels, cafĂŠs and barber shops. Those living in San Francisco were recently told their kids were not allowed to go to public schools so they had to go to segregated schools. Filipino immigrants are living in rural areas. Due to the very few Filipino women in the U.S there has been a lot of cross magiages. Those magiages are facing lots of prejudice whites. In 1919 there were several bombings and bomb threats. Most of these were addressed to prominent people but the post office was able to catch a lot due to suspicious packaging. However some were delivered and exploded in homes. Law enforcers could not able to identify who was responsible for the bombings but they thought it was immigrants trying to attack our government. Later Italian immigrants were caught robbing a factory in Massachusetts and were sent to jail but there was no evidence this was related to the bombings. Lots of good values from hard working immigrants have been brought to the United States. However immigrants have gradually been sent back to their home land. The National Origins Act was just passed affecting Italian and
We are all human What is this group that is taking over American lives? Why are we harassing and harming innocent citizens of our free nation? We are all people of the United States of America and we shouldn’t judge others on skin, beliefs, or tradition. What is happening to freedom of speech and religion? In this article you will learn about the Ku Klux Klan, also known as the KKK, that is “helping” people fix their morals to the “right” way of living. You will also get some insight into why the KKK is on the rise and how they “correct” people’ morals and why the KKK needs to be stopped because they don’t treat all Americans the same, they are reassuring native born Americans that is is fine to treat immigrants differently and they are controlling people’s lives. The Ku Klux Klan feels like they need to regulate the morals of the people and they need to punish those people which don’t have the “right” morals. What they are really doing is using the Klan as an excuse to harm people that are “different” than them. The people who are in the Klan are white, native born Christians that have no allegiances to any other foreign anything. Because of the requirements to join the Klan, they tend to go after Catholics; so the Pope won’t take over the world, Jews; because they will never form a deep attachments to the United States, they need to be watched, and African Americans; because they are the “enemy” in the South. Over all Catholics,
Jews, African Americans, and anyone that doesn’t fit into the requirements of the normal American needs to watch out for the members that are going to try punish you to fix your morals The KKK has been around since 1866. That brings up the question of why they are so powerful right now if they have been on a low for so long. The main reason is the war has set people on edge, most Americans don’t trust any foreigners now. This is an incorrect way of thinking. We are the same, humans, and sure there are some bad apples in the bunch but that doesn't mean they all have to be treated as they are all part of that bad bunch. The KKK acting on this is making it worse for everyone by constantly reminding people that immigrants can’t be trusted even though we haven't given them the chance to prove that thought wrong. Another reason tensions are rising is the African Americans were being treated like humans during the war. This is leading to more hostility because the war lowered the tolerance that African Americans have of the way they are treated. The whites that came back from war are more hostile towards African Americans because they took the “whites jobs”.
The rising of the KKK is also due to the change in lifestyle that is happening right now. Some people don’t like the change and want to keep some of the old times and since the KKK is from the time before the war people are coming back to the old way of life. Over all the war is contributing to the rising of the Ku Klux Klan because the war made whites not trust immigrants, have more hostility towards African Americans, and people wanting to hold on to some of the pre war life known as normal. The Ku Klux Klan do many disgraceful things to “correct” the morals of people. The first thing that the members of the Klan do is watch people's morals and actions. If the members then report to the head person in their area. A committee then decides if the person needs to be talked to about their morals. If they decide this then the person needs to be told about their “wrongdoing” then members of the Klan will go talk to the person. If the person the Klan talks to about their morals doesn’t change them the Klan will go to the police. If the police do nothing about it the Klan will first try to remove the police officer from his post and then move onto more extreme measures. These measures could include, but are not limited to: ostracism (cutting off the supply of a person, like what store they can or cannot buy things from), branding, tarring and feathering (getting covered in a sticky tar like substance then rolled around in feathers), and sometimes even death. All of these actions are deplorable and should not be happening just because someone is doing what you think is bad. Have the white people of American stooped so low as to kill someone just because they weren’t doing the “right” thing?
In this article you learned some general information about the disgraceful Ku Klux Klan, why they are rising to power and how they are “correcting” the morals and/or actions of other people. The Klan needs to be stopped so that innocent people will not be punished for just what they believe in, and/or look like. We are all humans and we all deserve to be treated fairly. The KKK has NO right to do any correcting--in fact the only morals that needed to be corrected are theirs.
Quota System Should the Quota system be imposed or be abolished on those incoming immigrants? The Quota System limits immigration from non-protestant countries and takes out immigrants. Immigrants are people who come to live permanently in a foreign country without really having citizenship within the country. The number of immigrants allowed from each country is restricted to 3% of the number of persons from that country living in the US of 1910. American attitudes on immigrants are just really cruel. In fact, they made a organization called the Klu Klux Klan that is made up of whites who are against immigrants. The event that occurred on Sacco and Vanzetti impacted many. It isn't fair on what they had to go through. Lastly, legislation and laws are just about what impact immigration and the objectives they need to face. The purpose of the Quota Law is to limit the number of immigrants coming into America and isn't good for America because it specifies on only immigrants because of their political beliefs, ethnic background, and just not fitting into the american melting pot. Views on how Americans look at immigrants are just mean and cruel. As well as their attitudes towards them. Immigrants from northern european groups came to america for better opportunities. But, americans argued that they were bringing dirt, disease, and crime to the US. Many thought that immigrants were exiotic looking and couldn't fit in with others. Because of the hate towards different groups of immigrants and immigrants in general whites formed a supremacist organization called the Ku Klux Klan. This group of whites hates african americans, jews, catholics, and other ethnic and religious groups. Some dress in all black clothes and others just however. They lynch innocent black men, women, and even children. In 1924, more than 4 million were members. They hold power over some local and state governments. As well as having an impact on national politics. The Sacco and Vanzetti event that happened April 15, 1920 was absolute chaos. Sacco and Vanzetti were two italian immigrants who openly expressed their anarchist views. They both immigrated to america in 1908. One was a shoemaker and the other a fish peddler. They both got held on trail for a crime that they both committed. The crime was specifically a murder crime. They were both found guilty and judge sentenced them in a electric chair to die. But, many thought that the real reason why they got held on trial and sentenced to death is because of the ways they believed and their ethnic background. Many protested their innocence and tried to show the reason they might have gotten far into chaos. Legislation and laws were a big part of immigration. Laws would limit immigrants and put everyone in the places they had to be. As well as organize different groups based on where they came from. The National Origins Act took a big role on establishing a system of national quotas that discriminated against immigrants from southern and eastern europe. This excluded asians. The attitudes of americans took a big part on immigrants and how they were treated. The ku klux klan or KKK would use dangerous options in taking out african american immigrants because of the hate towards them. Lastly, legislation and laws got passed to limit the amount of immigrants coming into the United States in 1910. The whole quota system within itself isn't good and is truly disgusting. The purpose of this new law is too limit immigration and take out immigrants that came to the u.s in 1910.
Moving to the cities
Many different groups have been moving into the cities like the African Americans and Russians. These people have been moving into the cities for many different reasons including economic opportunity, housing, and opportunities to meet more people like them but they have found good and bad in the cities. Italians, Slovaks, Russians, people from the pole of Europe, and even people from farms have been moving into the cities. Most of these people are moving into the city because of rich cultural life. These cultural life promises include foreign movies, foreign dancing, and foreign music. People want to meet more people like them so they wouldn't be lonely or so they would be able to relate with these people because they have the same cultural background and they also speak the same language. This would make it easier for them to communicate with each other. People are moving to the cities for economic reasons. These economic reasons include jobs and housing. People want to work in places like stock brokers, department store clerks, business entrepreneurs, secretaries, and many more. People are hoping that with these good jobs they will get rich but stuff in the cities are harder than they imagine. People also want to get better housing in the cities but there are some problems with storage and wage lowerage in the cities. The biggest group that have been moving into the cities are the african americans. About hundreds of thousands of African Americans have been moving to the north of the cities. African americans had many reasons to move to the north cities. African americans are facing racial segregation in the south. Racial segregation is when a group is being discriminated because of their race. African Americans are being told that they have to work with crops which meant that they can't own land. They are also moving to the north so they will be able to get better jobs in the north and they aren't being treated right in the south. With economic opportunity, housing, and opportunities to meet more people like them, and a chance to get treated better, these groups have decided that moving into the cities is the best option. As the russians, African Americans, and farmers are moving into the cities they've been finding good and bad but they have been having some influence on the cities by populating the place with different groups. These groups made the decision of moving into the cities, do you think they made the right decision? Would you have made the same one?
Group Editorial Why is nativism increasing now, and what consequences is it having on America? After the winning the war Nativism is on a rise in America. Nativism is a strong feeling of pride in and loyalty to America. Nativism is increasing because the war has made Americans fear immigrants and the consequences it is having on America are native born are not treating immigrants faily, the illegal actions of the Ku Klux Klan is increasing, and there are new laws to restricted the freedom of immigrants. There has been lots of immigrants that have came into the United States. The main groups coming in are mexicans and asians. Mexicans came to escape Mexico's low wages and high taxes. Asians were coming to get better jobs. American citizens were not always against immigrants because they were bringing good values. However there were some prejudice Americans towards cross magiages. Many immigrants that have came to America are moving to big cities for many different reasons. Hundreds of thousands of African Americans are moving to cities to escape racial segregation in the south and to get better jobs. Other immigrants are also moving to cities for better jobs such as stock brokers, department store clerks, business entrepreneurs, secretaries, and many more. They also want better housing but there are some problems with storage and wage lowerage in cities. With immigrants moving into the US and the cities, the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, also known as the KKKare increasing and becoming more violent. The KKK thinks that immigrants will never be fully American and the recent war is just cementing the fact that people think the immigrants are bad. The KKK corrects the actions of the immigrants
will never be fully American and the recent war is just cementing the fact that people think the immigrants are bad. The KKK corrects the actions of the immigrants talking to then. If that still doesn't fix the problem the Klan moves onto more harmful things like ostracism (cutting off the supply of a person, like what store they can or cannot buy things from) branding, tarring and feathering (getting covered in a sticky tar like substance then rolled around in feathers), and sometimes even death. Nativism is harming the immigrants because it is allowing the members of the Ku Klux Klan to get away with there deplorable actions towards immigrants. Illegal actions of the KKK aren't the only ways immigrants are being instructed, they are also legal ways immigrants are restricted with laws as well. With Northern European immigrants coming to America, laws are getting more intense. The national origins act restricted immigration by establishing a system of national quotas that discriminate against immigrants from southern and eastern europe. This law excludes asians. The immigration quota law was established to limit immigration from non-protestant countries. The number of immigrants allowed from each country was restricted to 3% of the number of persons from that country living in the U.S of 1910. Within the National Origins Act, APL and WASPS are committing racial suicide by accepting more immigrants into the u.s. They are afraid that if they allow them in, they will bring a ¨inferior stock¨ of disease and madness to the united states.
With immigrants moving to cities, the KKK participating in illegal actions and the new laws immigrants are having less freedom. Over all immigrants do not have the freedom they should have. There are a lot of immigrants with good values that are helping America and they should be treated the same as native bor amerians.
