Deportation Of Aliens From The United States To Europe

An investigation of the problems found in the deportation of aliens from the United States to Europe in the early twentieth century. Specifically examines the legislation concerning deportation, deportation law and its interpretation, and deportation law and its administration.

This book traces the origins of the "illegal alien" in American law and society, explaining why and how illegal migration became the central problem in U.S. immigration policy--a process that profoundly shaped ideas and practices about citizenship, race, and state authority in the twentieth century. Mae Ngai offers a close reading of the legal regime of restriction that commenced in the 1920s--its statutory architecture, judicial genealogies, administrative enforcement, differential treatment of European and non-European migrants, and long-term effects. In well-drawn historical portraits, Ngai peoples her study with the Filipinos, Mexicans, Japanese, and Chinese who comprised, variously, illegal aliens, alien citizens, colonial subjects, and imported contract workers. She shows that immigration restriction, particularly national-origin and numerical quotas, re-mapped the nation both by creating new categories of racial difference and by emphasizing as never before the nation's contiguous land borders and their patrol. This yielded the "illegal alien," a new legal and political subject whose inclusion in the nation was a social reality but a legal impossibility--a subject without rights and excluded from citizenship. Questions of fundamental legal status created new challenges for liberal democratic society and have directly informed the politics of multiculturalism and national belonging in our time. Ngai's analysis is based on extensive archival research, including previously unstudied records of the U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Naturalization Service. Contributing to American history, legal history, and ethnic studies, Impossible Subjects is a major reconsideration of U.S. immigration in the twentieth century.

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: A, Hiroshima University (International Law), course: Internationales Recht, language: English, abstract: To learn from the atrocities committed during the Second World War and to avoid their reoccurrence was the declared aim of all nations after the WW II was over and the Axis powers had been defeated. Once and for all it had become clear that the protection of human rights could not be regarded as any nation’s internal affairs. In Europe, Nazi-Germany served as a deterring case how a national regime could impose progressively worse treatments (from discriminations to genocide) on certain minorities, if no outside control provided an ultimate safeguard. The aim of the international law treaties signed inside Europe after WWII was to provide exactly such a safeguard and to integrate defeating and defeated countries into binding cooperation. One such cooperation took the form of the European Communities (most prominently the EC), another one the form of the Council of Europe (the organization drafting and controlling the European Convention on Human Rights (henceforth: convention)). In this paper using the issue of deportation of aliens I want to provide an overview on the position of a typical European country like Austria in regard to the obligation derived from the convention institution’s case law. ⇒ What is “deportation”? (Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Law). The removal from a country of an alien whose presence is illegal or detrimental to the public welfare. NOT: Exclusion: refusal of entry into a country by the immigration officials. NOT: Extradition: the surrender of an accused usually under the provisions of a treaty or statute by one sovereign (state or nation) to another that has jurisdiction to try the accused and that has demanded his or her return. Which aliens enjoy welcome varies with different nations, the four problem categories below, however, serve as a general outline for understanding “unwanted immigration”. i.) illegal aliens discovered on a nation’s territory ii.) legal long-term aliens becoming illegal iii.) legal aliens committing misdemeanors iv.) 2nd generation immigrants (or later) committing misdemeanors
