Let’s read a passage from Shut the Door!…
Chinese Exclusion Act - 1882
Immigration Quota Act of 1921
Johnson and Reed Act – 1924
“I
think we now have sufficient population in our country for us to shut the door and to breed up a pure, unadulterated American
citizenship….
Thank God we have in America perhaps the largest percentage of any country in the world of the pure, unadulterated Anglo-Saxon stock; certainly the greatest of any nation in the Nordic
breed….
Without offense, but with regard to the salvation of our own, let us shut the door and assimilate what we have, and let us breed pure American citizens and develop our own American resources
.” Senator Ellison Smith – South Carolina Slide6
1924 law used a total number of 165,000 and a country quota based on the 1890 census to determine the numbers allowed from each country.Slide7

Ravenstein’s Laws of Migration & Gravity Model
What is
the
Gravity
Model
?
Ravenstein’s
Laws of Migration
1. Every migration flow generates a return or counter-migration
2. The majority of migrants move a short distance3. Migrants who do move longer distances tend to choose large cities
4. Urban residents are less migratory than rural folk5. Families are less likely to make international moves than young adultsSlide12
Why do humans move?
Voluntary Migration
Forced Migration – such as slavery

Other Forced Migrations you may not know
Britain to Australia
Native Americans in the US
Soviet Union moving non-Russians to Central Asia and Siberia
Jews moving out of Western EuropeSlide13

Migration concepts
Distance Decay
More accurate perceptions of nearer places than far away places.
Farther away from origin one gets, less likely a behavior, activity, interaction will decay or cease.
Chain
Migration
– family member leaves, sends word back, more come
Step Migration – most migrations actually done in segmentsFarm
Village Town Suburb City Slide15
Migration concepts - continued
Intervening Opportunity
– immigrant has an intended destination, but does not reach that destination, instead settles somewhere along the way
EXAMPLE
– African Americans after WWI migrate seeking work in
Detroit, Chicago
and Cleveland only to find employment and stay in St. Louis and
Cincinnati.Slide16
Non-permanent migration
Cyclic
– cyclical movement of people involves journeys that bring us back home.
Our daily commute-(activity spaces)
“Snowbirds” – people (elderly) spending the winter in warmer climate locations.
Nomads – it is both for survival and cultural.
Periodic
– usually involves a longer period of time away from home.
Migrant laborers – can be cyclical but most often involves longer periods of time bordering on permanence.College students, MilitarySlide17
Migration
Migration
Counter-stream
– migration path in the opposite direction. Not everyone who migrates intends to remain permanently at the place of destination.
Examples
–person
unhappy at new
destination or simply feeling the familial or nationalistic
pull.

Catalysts of Migration
Economic Conditions
Political
(Berlin, Hong
Kong, Iran)
War
Environmental (
Chernobyl, New Orleans,
Ethiopia)
Culture
and Traditions (Israel)Technological Advances (Return migration to the South)Flow of Information
Remember – if you have what the U.S. wants – you can come in anytime (sort of)! Examples: certain degrees, money, skills Slide19
Millions move across international borders…
Most
for jobs/better life
Most people move for $ or €
Others because of war, environmental problems
Immigration is causing great pressure on some countries, i.e., more pop. growth due to immigration than natural growth
Remember – most population growth globally is in Developing WorldSlide20
Push/Pull
Factors
Push
–
factors causing people to leave a place
Pull
–
factors which attract people to places from other placesPush factors more likely to be perceived accurately.
WHY?Because they are local. Pull factors more vague. Perceptions tend to be overly positive. What are your perceptions of places?Slide21

Zelinsky Model
Wilbur
Zelinsky
– Migration Transition Model
It is the migration pattern in a society that results from the social and economic changes that also produce the
demographic
transition.Slide23
Zelinsky states:
*International migration is a phenomenon of countries largely in Stage
2-3
of the DTR.
Many look for increased opportunities to move to another country.
Internal
migration is also common causing increased urbanization in cities least able to absorb it.Slide24
Zelinsky states:
*Countries in
Stage
3
and
4
of the DTM are largely the
destinations
of the
Stage 2 migrants. Within Stage 3 and 4, countries movement is largely intra-regional
and increasingly a factor contributing to urban sprawl.Slide25

What complications can we think about when it comes to immigration?
Food supplies and costs
Social services costs
Construction workers and costs
Who’s bringing immigrants in?
What else encourages immigrants to come?
Isn’t this an issue of Supply and Demand?Slide29
