When it comes to immigration before 9/11, security was not the overarching concern in the United States. The focus was on economic interest, skilled and unskilled labor, and family reunification. However, immediately after 9/11, security became indisputably prioritized. September 11 changed the way Americans started to look at security. Immigration continues to make significant contributions to the US economy, whether in terms of manual labor from Mexico and Central America or in terms of more skilled labor mainly from Asia. September 11, led to a recalibration of the balance between economic needs and security needs in the United States. The pendulum swings from one extreme (security needs) to the other (economic needs). This research examines the swinging national security-economic growth pendulum concerning integration policy. 2008-09-30 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1216053710 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1216053710 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
