Presente.org is the largest online advocacy group for Latin American immigrants in the United States.
 It was co-founded by journalist Roberto Lovato and artist and activist Favianna Rodriguez in 2009 in order to "amplify the political voice of Latin@s" across the country and to help offer sustainable and stable standards of living for Latino immigrants whose political representation has been largely overlooked within the contemporary American society.
Carl L. Bankston III (born August 8, 1952, New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American sociologist and author.
 He is best known for his work on immigration to the United States, particularly on the adaptation of Vietnamese American immigrants, and for his work on ethnicity, social capital, sociology of religion and the sociology of education.
Syrian Americans are Americans of Syrian descent or background.
 Syrian Americans may be members of a number of differing ethnicities, including Arabs, Armenians, Arameans, Assyrians, Syrian Jews, Kurds, Syrian Turkmens and Circassians.
 The first significant wave of Syrian immigrants to arrive in the United States began in the 1880s.
 Many of the earliest Syrian Americans settled in New York City, Boston, and Detroit.
 Immigration from Syria to the United States suffered a long hiatus after the United States Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1924, which restricted immigration.
 More than 40 years later, the Immigration Act of 1965, abolished the quotas and immigration from Syria to the United States saw a surge.
 An estimated 64,600 Syrians immigrated to the United States between 1961 and 2000.
Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. "(commonly referred to as CLINIC)" is the USA’s largest network of non-profit immigration programs.
 In its 1986 pastoral statement “Together a New People,” the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) observed that the church’s ministry to immigrants reflects the “biblical understanding of the justice of God reaching out to all peoples and rectifying the situation of the poor, the orphans, the widows, the disadvantaged, and especially in the Old Testament, the alien and the stranger.”
 Two years later, USCCB established CLINIC as a legally distinct 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to support a rapidly growing need for community-based programs dedicated to serve indigent and low-income immigrants.
 CLINIC's network originally comprised seventeen diocesan affiliates and has since increased to over 200 Catholic and community-based immigration programs with 290 field offices in 47 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.
 In addition, the network affiliates employ roughly 1,200 Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) accredited attorneys who serve over 600,000 low-income immigrants each year.
 CLINIC affiliated agencies represent low-income immigrants without reference to their race, religion, gender, ethnic group, or other distinguishing characteristics.
Immigration reduction refers to a movement in the United States that advocates a reduction in the amount of immigration allowed into the country.
 Steps advocated for reducing the numbers of immigrants include advocating stronger action to prevent illegal entry and illegal immigration, and reductions in non-immigrant temporary work visas (such as H-1B and L-1).
 Some advocate a tightening of the requirements for legal immigration requirements to reduce total numbers, or move the proportions of legal immigrants away from those on family reunification programs to skills-based criteria.
 What separates it from others who want immigration reform is that reductionists see immigration- or one of its forms- as being a significant source of social, economic, and environmental problems, and wish to cut current immigration levels.
The history of Chinese Americans or the history of ethnic Chinese in the United States relates to the three major waves of Chinese immigration to the United States with the first beginning in the 19th century.
 Chinese immigrants in the 19th century worked as laborers, particularly on the transcontinental railroad, such as the Central Pacific Railroad.
 They also worked as laborers in the mining industry, and suffered racial discrimination at every level of society.
 While industrial employers were eager to get this new and cheap labor, the ordinary white public was stirred to anger by the presence of this "yellow peril".
 Despite the provisions for equal treatment of Chinese immigrants in the 1868 Burlingame Treaty, political and labor organizations rallied against the immigration of what they regarded as a degraded race and "cheap Chinese labor".
 Newspapers condemned the policies of employers, and even church leaders denounced the entrance of these aliens into what was regarded as a land for whites only.
 So hostile was the opposition that in 1882 the United States Congress eventually passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited immigration from China for the next ten years.
 This law was then extended by the Geary Act in 1892.
 The Chinese Exclusion Act was the only U.S. law ever to prevent immigration and naturalization on the basis of race.
 These laws not only prevented new immigration but also brought additional suffering as they prevented the reunion of the families of thousands of Chinese men already living in the United States (that is, men who had left China without their wives and children); anti-miscegenation laws in many states prohibited Chinese men from marrying white women.
Nigerian Americans are Americans who are of Nigerian ancestry.
 The term Nigerian American is sometimes shortened to "Naija-American".
 According to a 2006 American Community Survey, there were about 266,000 US residents claiming Nigerian heritage.
 Nigerian Americans make up a significant part of African immigration to the United States.
African immigration to the United States refers to immigrants to the United States who are or were nationals of modern African countries.
 The term "African" in the scope of this article refers to geographical or national origins rather than racial affiliation.
 Between the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 and 2007, an estimated total of 0.8 to 0.9 million Africans immigrated to the United States, accounting for roughly 3.3% of all total U.S. immigrants during this period.
Immigration and crime refers to perceived or actual relationships between crime and immigration.
 The academic literature provides mixed findings for the relationship between immigration and crime worldwide, but finds for the United States that immigration either has no impact on the crime rate or that it reduces the crime rate.
 Overall, immigration reduces crime, but the relationship is very weak.
 The overrepresentation of immigrants in the criminal justice systems of several countries may be due to socioeconomic factors, imprisonment for migration offenses, and racial and ethnic discrimination by police and the judicial system.
 Research suggests that people tend to overestimate the relationship between immigration and criminality.
 The relationship between immigration and terrorism is understudied, but existing research suggests that the relationship is weak and that repression of the immigrants increases the terror risk.
The Cronin Point Site (Smithsonian trinomial: 35TI4) is an archeological site located in Nehalem Bay State Park near Manzanita, Oregon, United States, that was occupied probably between 1600 and 1800 CE.
 The site is characterized by a significant quantity of burned, fire-cracked rock, indicating the presence of hearths and other cultural activities associated with occupation and a possible village site.
 Artifacts in the site include stone flaking debris, and a smaller number of projectile points, glass pieces, bone pieces, and shell fragments.
 Notably, the site also includes shards of Chinese and Japanese ceramicware, datable by their design to "ca."
 1550–1680 CE, which link the Cronin Point Site to the Nehalem Beeswax Shipwreck.
 The site spans both submerged and exposed areas; auger-based studies suggest that occupation of the site ended abruptly, likely when the land it rests on subsided due to a large earthquake.
