History of immigration to the United States
Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act in 1921 , followed by the Immigration Act of 1924 , which was aimed at further restricting the Southern Europeans and Russians who had begun to enter the country in large numbers beginning in the 1890s . This ultimately resulted in precluding all `` extra '' immigration to the United States , including Jews fleeing Nazi German persecution .
History of immigration to the United States
Their urban destinations , numbers , and perhaps an antipathy towards foreigners , led to the emergence of a second wave of organized xenophobia . By the 1890s , many Americans , particularly from the ranks of the well - off , white , and native - born , considered immigration to pose a serious danger to the nation 's health and security . In 1893 a group formed the Immigration Restriction League , and it , along with other similarly inclined organizations , began to press Congress for severe curtailment of foreign immigration .
History of laws concerning immigration and naturalization in the United States
On November 21 , 2014 , president Barack Obama signed two executive actions which had the effect of delaying deportation for millions of illegal immigrants . The orders apply to parents of United States citizens and young people brought into the country illegally .
Conscription in the United States
The Selective Service ( and the draft ) in the United States is not limited to citizens . Howard Stringer , for example , was drafted six weeks after arriving from his native Britain in 1965 . Today , non-citizen males of appropriate age in the United States , who are permanent residents ( holders of green cards ) , seasonal agricultural workers not holding an H - 2A Visa , refugees , parolees , asylees , and illegal immigrants , are required to register with the Selective Service System . Refusal to do so is grounds for denial of a future citizenship application . In addition , immigrants who seek to naturalize as citizens must , as part of the Oath of Citizenship , swear to the following :
Apartheid
The government tightened pass laws compelling blacks to carry identity documents , to prevent the immigration of blacks from other countries . To reside in a city , blacks had to be in employment there . Until 1956 women were for the most part excluded from these pass requirements , as attempts to introduce pass laws for women were met with fierce resistance .

Sanctuary city
In the United States and Canada , a sanctuary city ( French : ville sanctuaire , Spanish : ciudad santuario ) is a city that limits its cooperation with the national government effort to enforce immigration law . Leaders of sanctuary cities want to reduce the fear of deportation and possible family break - up among people who are in the country illegally so that such people will be more willing to report crimes , use health and social services , and enroll their children in school . Municipal policies include prohibiting police or city employees from questioning people about their immigration status and refusing requests by federal immigration authorities to detain people beyond their release date , if they were jailed for breaking local law . Such policies can be set expressly in law ( de jure ) or observed in practice ( de facto ) , but the designation `` sanctuary city '' does not have a precise legal definition . The Center for Immigration Studies , which advocates restrictive immigration policies , estimates that about 300 U.S. jurisdictions , including cities , counties and states , have adopted sanctuary policies .
Freedom of speech by country
The Article also gives restrictions against those acts considered offensive by public morality , as stated in Paragraph 6 :
Civil Rights Act of 1964
In 2012 , the EEOC ruled that employment discrimination on the basis of gender identity or transgender status is prohibited under Title VII . The decision held that discrimination on the basis of gender identity qualified as discrimination on the basis of sex whether the discrimination was due to sex stereotyping , discomfort with the fact of an individual 's transition , or discrimination due to a perceived change in the individual 's sex . In 2014 , the EEOC initiated two lawsuits against private companies for discrimination on the basis of gender identity , with additional litigation under consideration . As of November 2014 , Commissioner Chai Feldblum is making an active effort to increase awareness of Title VII remedies for individuals discriminated on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity .

Official bilingualism in Canada
One practical consequence of this asymmetry is that all migrants who arrive in Quebec from foreign countries only have access to French - language public schools for their children . This includes immigrants whose mother tongue is English and immigrants who received their schooling in English . On the other hand , Section 23 provides a nearly universal right to English - language schooling for the children of Canadian - born anglophones living in Quebec .

The terrorist attacks on September 11 , 2001 affected American perspectives on many issues , including immigration . A total of 20 foreign terrorists were involved , 19 of whom took part in the attacks that caused the deaths of 2,977 victims , most of them civilians . The terrorists had entered the United States on tourist or student visas . Four of them , however , had violated the terms of their visas . The attack exposed long - standing weaknesses in the U.S. immigration system that included failures in the areas of visa processing , internal enforcement , and information sharing .
History of immigration to the United States
Nativists feared the new arrivals lacked the political , social , and occupational skills needed to successfully assimilate into American culture . This raised the issue of whether the U.S. was still a `` melting pot , '' or if it had just become a `` dumping ground , '' and many old - stock Americans worried about negative effects on the economy , politics , and culture . A major proposal was to impose a literacy test , whereby applicants had to be able to read and write in their own language before they were admitted . Catholicism
Ellis Island
The Internal Security Act of 1950 barred members of communist or fascist organizations from immigrating to the United States . Ellis Island saw detention peak at 1,500 , but by 1952 , after changes to immigration law and policies , only 30 detainees remained .
Switzerland–European Union relations
In the Swiss immigration referendum , February 2014 , a federal popular initiative `` against mass immigration '' , Swiss voters narrowly approved measures limiting the freedom of movement of foreign citizens to Switzerland . The European Commission said it would have to examine the implications of the result on EU -- Swiss relations . Due to the refusal of Switzerland to grant Croatia free movement of persons , the EU accepted Switzerland 's access to the Erasmus+ student mobility program only as a `` partner country '' , as opposed to a `` programme country '' , and the EU froze negotiations on access to the EU electricity market . On March 4 , 2016 , Switzerland and the EU signed a treaty that extends the accord of the free movement of people to Croatia , something which lead to Switzerland 's full readmission into Horizon 2020 , a European funding framework for research and development . The treaty was ratified by the National Council on April 26 on the condition that a solution be found to an impasse on implementing the 2014 referendum . The treaty was passed in December 2016 . This allowed Switzerland to rejoin Horizons 2020 on January 1 , 2017 .
Kenya
Homosexual acts are illegal in Kenya and punishable by up to 14 years in prison though the state often turns a blind eye on prosecuting homosexuals . According to 2013 survey by the Pew Research Center , 90 % of Kenyans believe that homosexuality should not be accepted by society . While addressing a joint press conference together with President Barack Obama in 2015 , President Kenyatta declined to assure Kenya 's commitment to gay rights saying that `` the issue of gay rights is really a non-issue . '' `` But there are some things that we must admit we do n't share . Our culture , our societies do n't accept . ''

A more complex quota plan , the National Origins Formula , replaced this `` emergency '' system under the Immigration Act of 1924 ( Johnson - Reed Act ) . The reference census used was changed to that of 1890 , which greatly reduced the number of Southern and Eastern European immigrants . An annual ceiling of 154,227 was set for the Eastern Hemisphere . Each country had a quota proportional to its population in the U.S. as of the 1890 census .
Provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Insurers are prohibited from denying coverage ( or charging higher rates ) to any individual based on pre-existing medical conditions or gender . Insurers are prohibited from establishing annual spending caps of dollar amounts on essential health benefits . Under the individual mandate provision ( sometimes called a `` shared responsibility requirement '' or `` mandatory minimum coverage requirement '' ) , individuals who are not covered by an acceptable health insurance policy will be charged an annual tax penalty of $95 , or up to 1 % of income over the filing minimum , whichever is greater ; this will rise to a minimum of $695 ( $2,085 for families ) , or 2.5 % of income over the filing minimum , by 2016 . The penalty is prorated , meaning that if a person or family have coverage for part of the year they wo n't be liable if they lack coverage for less than a three - month period during the year . Exemptions are permitted for religious reasons , members of health care sharing ministries , or for those for whom the least expensive policy would exceed 8 % of their income . Also exempted are US citizens who qualify as residents of a foreign country under the IRS foreign earned income exclusion rule . In 2010 , the Commissioner speculated that insurance providers would supply a form confirming essential coverage to both individuals and the IRS ; individuals would attach this form to their Federal tax return . Those who are n't covered will be assessed the penalty on their Federal tax return . In the wording of the law , a taxpayer who fails to pay the penalty `` shall not be subject to any criminal prosecution or penalty '' and can not have liens or levies placed on their property , but the IRS will be able to withhold future tax refunds from them . ( Ends in 2019 . Repealed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 )

Official bilingualism in Canada
mandates that the federal government conduct its business in both official languages and provide government services in both languages ; encourages or mandates lower tiers of government ( most notably the provinces and territories , but also some municipalities ) to conduct themselves in both official languages and to provide services in both English and French rather than in just one or the other ; places obligations on private actors in Canadian society to provide access to goods or services in both official languages ( such as the requirement that food products be labelled in both English and French ) ; provides support to non-government actors to encourage or promote the use or the status of one or the other of the two official languages . This includes grants and contributions to groups representing the English - speaking minority in Quebec and the French - speaking minorities in the other provinces to assist with the establishment of an infrastructure of cultural supports and services .
Sanctuary city
Section 287 ( g ) makes it possible for state and local law enforcement personnel to enter into agreements with the federal government to be trained in immigration enforcement and , subsequent to such training , to enforce immigration law . However , it provides no general power for immigration enforcement by state and local authorities . This provision was implemented by local and state authorities in five states , California , Arizona , Alabama , Florida and North Carolina by the end of 2006 . On June 16 , 2007 the United States House of Representatives passed an amendment to a United States Department of Homeland Security spending bill that would withhold federal emergency services funds from sanctuary cities . Congressman Tom Tancredo ( R - Colo . ) was the sponsor of this amendment . 50 Democrats joined Republicans to support the amendment . The amendment would have to pass the United States Senate to become effective .
