Bush and Clinton on immigration: not so far apart

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the immigration policies of presidential aspirants George Bush and Bill Clinton reveals that both maintain perspectives that are almost similar. Bush contends that he has succeeded in curbing the entry of illegal drugs and illegal entrants into the country. He also refers to the Immigration Act of 1990, a legislation which he has approved, as promoting family togetherness. Clinton, on the other hand, calls for the strict observance of the border laws and stresses the reunification of families and attracting skilled workers to the US. Their position on the Haitian issue maybe quite different, but their immigration policies are almost the same.

Germany, immigration and racism

Article Abstract:

There has been a wave of violence currently occurring in Germany directed against foreign refugees. Reports from Germany's domestic intelligence agency indicate that 1,453 criminal acts, perpetuated by right-wing extremists, were committed in 1992 against foreigners. Germany has been receiving the bulk of asylum seekers due to its lax asylum laws. In view of this, German politicians reached an accord last Nov 16, 1992 seeking for the speedy rejection of asylum applicants originating from 'safe countries' and for the simplification of the appeal system. For the meantime, Germany will continue to uphold the international Geneva Convention on Refugees.

Immigration: Canada's invaluable asset

Article Abstract:

Canada stands to gain much in attracting migrants from other countries such as the Caribbean, India and the Philippines. Immigrants from these poor countries are valuable to Canada in the sense that they are economic migrants who are willing workers able to contribute to the workforce even with 'step down' jobs. Thus, Canada has raised its immigration quota from 175,000 to 250,000 and is willing to spend for the resettlement of these migrants.
