Custom essays on Immigration

In contemporary worlds the development of immigration policy in the contemporary globalized world is very significant and different countries in the recent years provided different changes within their immigration legislation. It goes without saying that for a number of years some countries provided quite aggressive immigration policy towards the Asian immigrants, promoting policy of exclusion. Nativism is a theory of superiority of citizens born in the country under the immigrants is closely related to xenophobia and ethnic studies as it causes racial conflicts between the different ethnic groups. The immigration policy of the country unfortunately supports the burning of these conflicts. The race-based immigration policy opened the racial debate and actually came to the conclusion that Europeans, Asians, Mexicans are just like Chinese and they found the support within the Chinese exclusion. It goes without saying that policy of exclusion deals for the first time with such a thing as institutional racism. And for several years a number of countries could not avoid this in their immigrant policies but fortunately in the present day realities the situation has changes a lot. Canada and Australia, understanding the global development tendencies now promoted legal implication, which does not deal with the racist and discriminatory immigrant policies. The ageing of the nation is one of the reasons, they opened the door to the Asian immigrants, but the same time it should be noted that the countries provided restricting for all the groups, who desire to immigrate into the both countries. Being former British colonies the policies of two countries are very much alike.
Australia
Understanding the global tendencies Australian government in the 60-s was tended to change to policy of the discriminatory policies of the countries. Analysts consider that it is strongly connected with the effects of globalization (Alastair Davidson, p. 130). It goes without saying that contemporary global tendencies significantly impact contemporary development of the law. Understanding the fact that Australia is a significant player on the global market and got to hire the new labor forces to correspond to the requirement of the global society. But it should be noted that in contemporary realities the country has already returned to the restrictment of the immigration legislation. It also should be taken into account that development of the immigration legislation is the part of Australian governmental programs and as Australia is considered to be democratic liberal than it should use a ethical issues, when forming the immigration legislation as they need to perform not only according to the national standard, but according to the global ethics.

It goes without saying that the demands to the legislation significantly grow. Another factor that the country refused from the discriminatory policies is that the quick development required fresh labor forces, alongside with the ageing of the nation. This opened good perspectives for Asian workers. Now, when the legislation is restricted again, the analysts observe that Australian government does not prohibits the Asian immigration but make the limits well based and now skilled immigration is one of the most popular way to immigrate legally into Australia. The unethical discriminatory immigration policies are left in the past and contemporary development of the Immigration policy in Australia does not exclude certain groups of people due to national or racial identity as it does not correspond to the current international laws.
Canada
The situation with Canadian Immigration partially copied the United States Immigration Restrictment and partially is very much alike Australian situation. Briefly it could be described as the following: “In 1885, the Chinese Immigration Act imposed a CAN$50 head tax on new Chinese arrivals. When the fee failed to significantly deter Chinese immigration, the government upped the tax to CAN$100 in 1900. Three years later, it raised the tax to CAN$500, an amount roughly equal to two years wages. Then in 1923, Canada banned all Chinese immigrants except diplomats, investors, students and children of Canadians. The new immigration act came into effect on July 1, 1923, a day that Chinese Canadians called “Humiliation Day.” The restrictions remained in place until 1947” (Clark, 2010). This brief illustration shows that the situation was very much alike to Australian and the reasons the country refused from such a violating policy according to the Asian Immigrants. The country changes its attitude towards the immigration from the Asian countries as they need to raise the manufacturing in post war period. Canada participated in the WWII and after depression it needed to raise the economic. In the 1960-s Canada also shifted to the skilled immigration, understanding that if it won’t be made the country would be drowned by the growing number of unskilled immigrants seeking for the better life. Never again Canadian government provided discriminatory immigration policies.
In the and I would like to make a stress on the fact that both countries experienced as violation of the human rights as well as changes in the immigration policies> nowadays Immigration policies of the both countries correspond to the norms of International legislation, which supports racial equality as a main rule.
