    Douglas You may be able to see parallels from then to today in other countries but I fail to see how people sneaking into our country illegally and getting a job from a business in this country illegally has anything to do with slavery or labor laws. I would agree with you if we were rounding up immigrants and bringing them into our country and forcing them to work for cheap labor. That is not the case, immigrants are risking their lives and their families lives to come into The United States of America to escape the hell that they were living in and work for more money than they have ever made in their entire lives.

  • Gentrification In Chinatown

    1145 Words  | 5 Pages

    Although Los Angeles Chinatown was a popular first-stop in the states, it did not remain economically viable for low-income immigrants to continue living there because of increasing rent and real estate. In particular, gentrification has an effect on new Chinese residents who settle in Chinatown that tend to be “poorer, less educated, less acculturated” (Lin 2008).
