Document Summary
The face in the mirror issue- how respectability works. How much immigration is there: about 43 million people are born not in their home country, we are about where we were when the 1940 quota act was implemented, 10. 8million undocumented immigrants. 2010 majority of immigrants come from mexico. Fully established in 1898 in case of us vs wong kim ark. Only approach to remove unwanted immigrants was to manipulate the economic field to making them useless in the economy. Perhaps the most common method though was to target cultural practices. 1900- morphine is an over the counter nostrum (as are opium, cocaine and other drugs) 1901- anti opium act- the first us drug law. This approach to social control was already old by the time it was applied to the chinese. One of the drivers of the 18th amendment was the link between certain kinds of alcohol and certain nationalities: germans drink beer.
