Destined to be a “hot button topic” of the 2008 USA Presidential campaign, the issue has found allies in the most unlikely corners. President George Bush and Senator Edward Kennedy on one side with conservative Newt Gingrich and the Black Civil Rights Leaders on the other, surely make strange bedfellows. Not only has the USA seen this topic enter politics but also diverse nations like France, Italy, England, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Japan and Canada have had to deal with the subject in recent elections. This article will address the issues as presented by opposing sides.

Immigration

has been a self inflicted concern by the developed nations over the years. Whether it was via colonization, as in the cases of England, Spain, France, Portugal and Japan, or via enlargement as in the cases of Germany, Canada and the USA; immigration was a means to an end for these countries.

  • Colonization: these immigrants come from the various colonies that were once part of that country’s empire. Indians in England, Tunisians in France, Brazilians in Portugal and Koreans in Japan have lived for decades in their respective host’s homeland.

  • Expansion: there is little difference between this group of immigrants and those that stir emotions today. Whether it is the French in Canada, Irish and Italians in America or Checks, Austrians and Alsace’s in Germany; their existence was thought to make the countries great as they are today.
But now there is a new issue over immigration. No longer viewed as an escape from religious or ideological persecution, it is seen strictly as an economic escape.*
