Immigration Causes Age, Race Split in America
By Haya El Nasser and Lorrie Grant, USA TODA
AP
While white America continues to age, a younger, more ethnically
diverse generation is rapidly increasing in size -- and clout.
(June 9) -- Immigration is creating a generational divide between old,
white America and a young America of many races, annual Census
population figures out Thursday show.
The influx of newcomers, driven largely by Hispanics, is taking the
country far beyond the traditional red-state/blue-state split between
Republicans and Democrats that has preoccupied the nation in recent
years. It is forming sharp age and race divisions: The old are mostly
white, and the young are increasingly Hispanic, Asian and other
minorities.
"(Age) 40 is a monumental dividing line," says William Frey,
demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
The generation gap puts pressure on communities that must juggle
rising elderly populations and swelling school enrollments.
"The white-dominated society that we had back in the 1950s is being
faded out," Frey says.
"Both red and blue parties are going to have to appeal to young and
old."
The July 1, 2004, estimates by age, race and ethnicity show that
Hispanics and Asians are growing more than 10 times the pace of whites
who are not Hispanic.
Hispanics, totaling 41.3 million, are the largest minority group.
Because immigrants are younger and generally have more children,
they're becoming a larger part of the nation's younger population.
At the same time, the white population is aging.
"The younger the age group, the more Hispanic it is," says Jeffrey
Passel, demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center in Washington. "It's
likely to continue for awhile."
Three of five Americans under 40 are white, but four of five above 40
are white.
Marketers recognize the shift.
"Beer ads, for example, are targeted at younger people and are more
ethnic," says Paul Kelly, president of Silvermine Consulting Group in
Westport, Conn., which works with consumer products companies. "Ads
with party scenes are very diverse."
Retailers also are dealing with another demographic shift: A growing
multicultural population.
Marriages across racial and ethnic lines jumped 65% in the 1990s and
make up one in 15 marriages in the USA, up from one in 23 in 1990,
Frey says.
"Everyone realizes that we're a nation of diversity now, and they want
to celebrate it," says Allison Cohen, president of PeopleTalk, a
market research company in Wenham, Mass. "Americans have come to see
diversity in their workplace, in who their friends are."

Still posting your racism tone? your real life must really suck given
you're obviously unable to cope with the changes your country is
going through and have to scream out your impotence in the only place
where someone as irrelevant as you might get read.... here in APN.
And the Liberal Moron is so stupid as to think everyone approves.
Just so long as you have your pure white genes eh tone? oh wait... you've
been mistaken for non-white haven't you so obviously you're not exactly
white and didn't you marry someone who isn't pure white either?
As always with you, it's 'do as I say not do as I do' just like your morals,
your pretence at being a Christian, pro-American, pro large families etc etc.
Your lies and ***** never cease do they?

Or is this all merely bitterness brought on by the fact that she ditched you

From your limited standpoint. You said "meaning that the enemies of America
have succeeded in changing this nation from a homgenious society into a
Balkinized mess." all of which is not truth but merely the opinion of a small
minded, racist fool, i.e. you. It's all about people's colour with you tone, that
and your fear of anyone who doesn't share your own small minded vision.
your real life must really suck given
you're obviously unable to cope with the changes your country is

Oh, as If we're just supposed to roll over like the French?
You don't speak for anyone but yourself, why do you pretend otherwise? who is
this "we're" you pretend to reperesent then tone? I notice you don't deal with my
point that a vacuous nobody like you can do nothing but whine in here because you're
incapable of doing anything in real life, much like your "we" ***** when you speak
of the armed forces or anybody else that actually does anything.
And the Liberal Moron is so stupid as to think everyone approves.
Just so long as you have your pure white genes eh tone? oh wait... you've

You miss the point, Moron. It's about an illegal invasion that is
changing the very fabric of an entire nation.
It seems *you* miss the point moron, you bleat about the watering down of
American people as if they are a pure aryan race, they're not. Apart from
the native Americans and their descenfants the rest of you are all descended
from immigrant stock. You also ignore that you contribute to this by your marriage
so why are you whining about it when you are to blame?
'As always with you, it's 'do as I say not do as I do' just like your morals,
your pretence at being a Christian, pro-American, pro large families etc etc.
Your lies and ***** never cease do they?'
Don't have the stomach to face this eh? perhaps we should discuss your fascination
with homosexuals and your own little experience of that eh?

And the Liberal Moron is so stupid as to think everyone approves.
Just so long as you have your pure white genes eh tone? oh wait... you've
been mistaken for non-white haven't you so obviously you're not exactly
white and didn't you marry someone who isn't pure white either?
You miss the point, Moron. It's about an illegal invasion that is
changing the very fabric of an entire nation.
It seems *you* miss the point moron, you bleat about the watering down of
American people as if they are a pure aryan race, they're not.
No one said they were, but for the first 200 years of this nations
existance, we were about 90% white Christian european, then the
Liberals sought to change that because they knew that such a nation
would never buy into their Liberal Socialist agenda.

From your limited standpoint. You said "meaning that the enemies of America

Wrong, it's the truth, something you are unable to face.
It seems that when it comes to truth you're the one that can't face up to it, after
all you're the one that scurried off to delete all of those nasty posts that showed
you in your light, you're the one that doesn't have the stomach to debate your
hypocritical pretense at being a Christian and good American against the facts of your
filthy sleazy lifestyle and attempts to silence so many Americans who disagree with
your bigotry and racism. You're the congenital liar that accuses people of being
'terrorist
supporters', 'anti-American', 'anti-Christian' ec etc then runs like the cowardly liar
you are when challenged to back up any of your lies.
Feel free to tell me what truths you feel I can't face tone and I'll happily disabuse
you of your stupidity *again*.
You don't speak for anyone but yourself, why do you pretend otherwise? who is

The majority of Americans
You don't represent them at all, the majority of Americans are honest, law abiding
citizens with good morals and common sense, you don't fit in any of those groups
let alone represent them. The average American would think your disgusting lifestyle,
your filthy morals, your lies, your bullying, your hypocrisy to be completely unacceptable
so don't try tainting them with your disgiusting lies.

Just more *****, you see Liberals like other idiots in here see black cars following
them. A pathetic failure like you needs someone else to blame for everything that's
wrong with your useless life so for you it's all about politics and "the Liberals"
you're so fucking stupid you can't even see how transparent you are.
If you're so fucking hot on keeping your good ol' boys whiter than white how
come you married someone who isn't? Why are you so stupid tone? is your
autism flaring up again? Maybe it's that gay fling you had a while back playing

Jewish Involvement in Shaping American Immigration Policy, 1881-1965:

and Environment, 19, 295-355.
ABSTRACT
This paper discusses Jewish involvement in shaping United States
immigration policy. In addition to a periodic interest in fostering
the immigration of co-religionists as a result of anti-Semitic
movements, Jews have an interest in opposing the establishment of
ethnically and culturally homogeneous societies in which they reside
as minorities. Jews have been at the forefront in supporting movements
aimed at altering the ethnic status quo in the United States in favor
of immigration of non-European peoples. These activities have involved
leadership in Congress, organizing and funding anti-restrictionist
groups composed of Jews and gentiles, and originating intellectual
movements opposed to evolutionary and biological perspectives in the
social sciences.
INTRODUCTION
Ethnic conflict is of obvious importance for understanding critical
aspects of American history, and not only for understanding
Black/White ethnic conflict or the fate of Native Americans.
Immigration policy is a paradigmatic example of conflict of interest
between ethnic groups because immigration policy influences the future
demographic composition of the nation. Ethnic groups unable to
influence immigration policy in their own interests will eventually be
displaced or reduced in relative numbers by groups able to accomplish
this goal.
This paper discusses ethnic conflict between Jews and gentiles in the
area of immigration policy. Immigration policy is, however, only one
aspect of conflicts of interest between Jews and gentiles in America.
The skirmishes between Jews and the gentile power structure beginning
in the late nineteenth century always had strong overtones of
anti-Semitism. These battles involved issues of Jewish upward
mobility, quotas on Jewish representation in elite schools beginning
in the nineteenth century and peaking in the 1920s and 1930s, the
anti-Communist crusades in the post-World War II era, as well as the
very powerful concern with the cultural influences of the major media
extending from Henry Ford's writings in the 1920s to the Hollywood
inquisitions of the McCarthy era and into the contemporary era. That
anti-Semitism was involved in these issues can be seen from the fact
that historians of Judaism (e.g., Sachar 1992, p. 620ff) feel
compelled to include accounts of these events as important to the
history of Jews in America, by the anti-Semitic pronouncements of many
of the gentile participants, and by the self-conscious understanding
of Jewish participants and observers.
The Jewish involvement in influencing immigration policy in the United
States is especially noteworthy as an aspect of ethnic conflict.
Jewish involvement has had certain unique qualities that have
distinguished Jewish interests from the interests of other groups
favoring liberal immigration policies. Throughout much of this period,
one Jewish interest in liberal immigration policies stemmed from a
desire to provide a sanctuary for Jews fleeing from anti-Semitic
persecutions in Europe and elsewhere. Anti-Semitic persecutions have
been a recurrent phenomenon in the modern world beginning with the
Czarist persecutions in 1881, and continuing into the post-World War
II era in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. As a result, liberal
immigration has been a Jewish interest because 'survival often
dictated that Jews seek refuge in other lands' (Cohen 1972, p. 341).
For a similar reason, Jews have consistently advocated an
internationalist foreign policy for the United States because 'an
internationally-minded America was likely to be more sensitive to the
problems of foreign Jewries' (Cohen 1972, p. 342).
However, in addition to a persistent concern that America be a safe
haven for Jews fleeing outbreaks of anti-Semitism in foreign
countries, there is evidence that Jews, much more than any other
European-derived ethnic group in America, have viewed liberal
immigration policies as a mechanism of ensuring that America would be
a pluralistic rather than a unitary, homogeneous society (e.g., Cohen
1972). Pluralism serves both internal (within-group) and external
(between-group) Jewish interests. Pluralism serves internal Jewish
interests because it legitimates the internal Jewish interest in
rationalizing and openly advocating an interest in Jewish group
commitment and non-assimilation, what Howard Sachar (1992, p. 427)
terms its function in 'legitimizing the preservation of a minority
culture in the midst of a majority's host society.' The development of
an ethnic, political, or religious monoculture implies that Judaism
can survive only by engaging in a sort of semi-crypsis. As Irving
Louis Horowitz (1993, 86) notes regarding the long-term consequences
of Jewish life under Communism, 'Jews suffer, their numbers decline,
and emigration becomes a survival solution when the state demands
integration into a national mainstream, a religious universal defined
by a state religion or a near-state religion.' Both Neusner (1987) and
Ellman (1987) suggest that the increased sense of ethnic consciousness
seen in Jewish circles recently has been influenced by this general
movement within American society toward the legitimization of minority
group ethnocentrism.
More importantly, ethnic and religious pluralism serves external
Jewish interests because Jews become just one of many ethnic groups.
This results in the diffusion of political and cultural influence
among the various ethnic and religious groups, and it becomes
difficult or impossible to develop unified, cohesive groups of
gentiles united in their opposition to Judaism. Historically, major
anti-Semitic movements have tended to erupt in societies that have
been, apart from the Jews, religiously and/or ethnically homogeneous
(MacDonald, 1994; 1998). Conversely, one reason for the relative lack
of anti-Semitism in America compared to Europe was that 'Jews did not
stand out as a solitary group of [religious] non-conformists (Higham
1984, p. 156). It follows also that ethnically and religiously
pluralistic societies are more likely to satisfy Jewish interests than
are societies characterized by ethnic and religious homogeneity among
gentiles.
Beginning with Horace Kallen, Jewish intellectuals have been at the
forefront in developing models of the United States as a culturally
and ethnically pluralistic society. Reflecting the utility of cultural
pluralism in serving internal Jewish group interests in maintaining
cultural separatism, Kallen personally combined his ideology of
cultural pluralism with a deep immersion in Jewish history and
literature, a commitment to Zionism, and political activity on behalf
of Jews in Eastern Europe (Sachar 1992, p. 425ff; Frommer 1978).
Kallen (1915; 1924) developed a 'polycentric' ideal for American
ethnic relationships. Kallen defined ethnicity as deriving from one's
biological endowment, implying that Jews should be able to remain a
genetically and culturally cohesive group while nevertheless
participating in American democratic institutions. This conception
that the United States should be organized as a set of separate
ethnic/cultural groups was accompanied by an ideology that
relationships between groups would be cooperative and benign: 'Kallen
lifted his eyes above the strife that swirled around him to an ideal
realm where diversity and harmony coexist' (Higham 1984, p. 209).
Similarly in Germany, the Jewish leader Moritz Lazarus argued in
opposition to the views of the German intellectual Heinrich Treitschke
that the continued separateness of diverse ethnic groups contributed
to the richness of German culture (Schorsch 1972, p. 63). Lazarus also
developed the doctrine of dual loyalty which became a cornerstone of
the Zionist movement.
Kallen wrote his 1915 essay partly in reaction to the ideas of Edward
A. Ross (1914). Ross was a Darwinian sociologist who believed that the
existence of clearly demarcated groups would tend to result in
between-group competition for resources. Higham's comment is
interesting because it shows that Kallen's romantic views of group
co-existence were contradicted by the reality of between-group
competition in his own day. Indeed, it is noteworthy that Kallen was a
prominent leader of the American Jewish Congress (AJCongress). During
the 1920s and 1930s the AJCongress championed group economic and
political rights for Jews in Eastern Europe at a time when there was
widespread ethnic tensions and persecution of Jews, and despite the
fears of many that such rights would merely exacerbate current
tensions. The AJCongress demanded that Jews be allowed proportional
political representation as well as the ability to organize their own
communities and preserve an autonomous Jewish national culture. The
treaties with Eastern European countries and Turkey included
provisions that the state provide instruction in minority languages
and that Jews have the right to refuse to attend courts or other
public functions on the Sabbath (Frommer 1978, p. 162).
Kallen's idea of cultural pluralism as a model for America was
popularized among gentile intellectuals by John Dewey (Higham 1984, p.
209), who in turn was promoted by Jewish intellectuals: 'If lapsed
Congregationalists like Dewey did not need immigrants to inspire them
to press against the boundaries of even the most liberal of Protestant
sensibilities, Dewey's kind were resoundingly encouraged in that
direction by the Jewish intellectuals they encountered in urban
academic and literary communities' (Hollinger, 1996, p. 24).
Kallen's ideas have been very influential in producing Jewish
self-conceptualizations of their status in America. This influence was
apparent as early as 1915 among American Zionists, such as Louis D.
Brandeis. Brandeis viewed America as composed of different
nationalities whose free development would 'spiritually enrich the
United States and would make it a democracy par excellence' (Gal 1989,
p. 70). These views became 'a hallmark of mainstream American Zionism,
secular and religious alike' (Gal 1989, p. 70). But Kallen's influence
extended really to all educated Jews:
Legitimizing the preservation of a minority culture in the midst of a
majority's host society, pluralism functioned as intellectual
anchorage for an educated Jewish second generation, sustained its
cohesiveness and its most tenacious communal endeavors through the
rigors of the Depression and revived anti-semitism, through the shock
of Nazism and the Holocaust, until the emergence of Zionism in the
post-World War II years swept through American Jewry with a climactic
redemptionist fervor of its own. (Sachar 1992, p. 427)
Explicit statements linking immigration policy to a Jewish interest in
cultural pluralism can be found among prominent Jewish social
scientists and political activists. In his review of Kallen's (1956)
Cultural Pluralism and the American Idea appearing in Congress Weekly
(published by the AJCongress), Joseph L. Blau (1958, p. 15) noted that
'Kallen's view is needed to serve the cause of minority groups and
minority cultures in this nation without a permanent majority' -- the
implication being that Kallen's ideology of multi-culturalism opposes
the interests of any ethnic group in dominating America. The
well-known author and prominent Zionist Maurice Samuel (1924, p. 215)
writing partly as a negative reaction to the immigration law of 1924,
wrote that 'If, then, the struggle between us [i.e., Jews and
gentiles] is ever to be lifted beyond the physical, your democracies
will have to alter their demands for racial, spiritual and cultural
homogeneity with the State. But it would be foolish to regard this as
a possibility, for the tendency of this civilization is in the
opposite direction. There is a steady approach toward the
identification of government with race, instead of with the political
State.'
Samuel deplored the 1924 legislation and in the following quote he
develops the view that the American state as having no ethnic
implications.
We have just witnessed, in America, the repetition, in the peculiar
form adapted to this country, of the evil farce to which the
experience of many centuries has not yet accustomed us. If America had
any meaning at all, it lay in the peculiar attempt to rise above the
trend of our present civilization'the identification of race with
State.... America was therefore the New World in this vital
respect'that the State was purely an ideal, and nationality was
identical only with acceptance of the ideal. But it seems now that the
entire point of view was a mistaken one, that America was incapable of
rising above her origins, and the semblance of an ideal-nationalism
was only a stage in the proper development of the universal gentile
spirit.... To-day, with race triumphant over ideal, anti-Semitism
uncovers its fangs, and to the heartless refusal of the most
elementary human right, the right of asylum, is added cowardly insult.
We are not only excluded, but we are told, in the unmistakable
language of the immigration laws, that we are an 'inferior' people.
Without the moral courage to stand up squarely to its evil instincts,
the country prepared itself, through its journalists, by a long
draught of vilification of the Jew, and, when sufficiently inspired by
the popular and 'scientific' potions, committed the act. (pp. 218-220)
A congruent opinion is expressed by prominent Jewish social scientist
and political activist Earl Raab1 who remarks very positively on the
success of American immigration policy in altering the ethnic
composition of the United States since 1965. Raab notes that the
Jewish community has taken a leadership role in changing the
Northwestern European bias of American immigration policy (1993a, p.
17), and he has also maintained that one factor inhibiting
anti-Semitism in the contemporary United States is that '(a)n
increasing ethnic heterogeneity, as a result of immigration, has made
it even more difficult for a political party or mass movement of
bigotry to develop' (1995, p. 91). Or more colorfully:
The Census Bureau has just reported that about half of the American
population will soon be non-white or non-European. And they will all
be American citizens. We have tipped beyond the point where a
Nazi-Aryan party will be able to prevail in this country.
We [i.e., Jews] have been nourishing the American climate of
opposition to bigotry for about half a century. That climate has not
yet been perfected, but the heterogeneous nature of our population
tends to make it irreversible'and makes our constitutional constraints
against bigotry more practical than ever. (Raab 1993b, p. 23).2
Indeed, the 'primary objective' of Jewish political activity after
1945 'was ... to prevent the emergence of an anti-Semitic reactionary
mass movement in the United States' (Svonkin 1997, 8). Charles
Silberman (1985, 350) notes that 'American Jews are committed to
cultural tolerance because of their belief'one firmly rooted in
history'that Jews are safe only in a society acceptant of a wide range
of attitudes and behaviors, as well as a diversity of religious and
ethnic groups. It is this belief, for example, not approval of
homosexuality, that leads an overwhelming majority of American Jews to
endorse 'gay rights' and to take a liberal stance on most other
so-called 'social' issues.'3 Silberman's comment that Jewish attitudes
are 'firmly rooted in history' is quite reasonable: There has indeed
been a tendency for Jews to be persecuted by a culturally and/or
ethnically homogeneous majority that come to view Jews as a negatively
evaluated outgroup.
Similarly, in listing the positive benefits of immigration, Diana
Aviv, director of the Washington Action Office of the Council of
Jewish Federations states that immigration 'is about diversity,
cultural enrichment and economic opportunity for the immigrants'
(quoted in Forward, March 8, 1996, p. 5). And in summarizing Jewish
involvement in the 1996 legislative battles a newspaper account stated
that 'Jewish groups failed to kill a number of provisions that reflect
the kind of political expediency that they regard as a direct attack
on American pluralism' (Detroit Jewish News; May 10, 1996).
It is noteworthy also that there has been a conflict between
predominantly Jewish neo-Conservatives and predominantly gentile
paleo-conservatives over the issue of Third World immigration into the
United States. Many of these neo-conservative intellectuals had
previously been radical leftists,4 and the split between the
neo-conservatives and their previous allies resulted in an intense
internecine feud (Gottfried 1993; Rothman & Lichter 1982, p. 105).
Neo-conservatives Norman Podhoretz and Richard John Neuhaus reacted
very negatively to an article by a paleo-conservative concerned that
such immigration would eventually lead to the United States being
dominated by such immigrants (see Judis 1990, p. 33). Other examples
are neo-Conservatives Julian Simon (1990) and Ben Wattenberg (1991),
both of whom advocate very high levels of immigration from all parts
of the world, so that the United States will become what Wattenberg
describes as the world's first 'Universal Nation.' Based on recent
data, Fetzer (1996) reports that Jews remain far more favorable to
immigration to the United States than any other ethnic group or
religion.
It should be noted as a general point that the effectiveness of Jewish
organizations in influencing American immigration policy has been
facilitated by certain characteristics of American Jewry. As Neuringer
(1971, p. 87) notes, Jewish influence on immigration policy was
facilitated by Jewish wealth, education, and social status. Reflecting
its general disproportionate representation in markers of economic
success and political influence, Jewish organizations have been able
to have a vastly disproportionate effect on United States immigration
policy because Jews as a group are highly organized, highly
intelligent, and politically astute, and they were able to command a
high level of financial, political, and intellectual resources in
pursuing their political aims. Similarly, Hollinger (1996, p. 19)
notes that Jews were more influential in the decline of a homogeneous
Protestant Christian culture in the United States than Catholics
because of their greater wealth, social standing, and technical skill
in the intellectual arena. In the area of immigration policy, the main
Jewish activist organization influencing immigration policy, the
American Jewish Committee (AJCommittee), was characterized by 'strong
leadership [particularly Louis Marshall], internal cohesion,
well-funded programs, sophisticated lobbying techniques, well-chosen
non-Jewish allies, and good timing' (Goldstein 1990, p. 333).
In this regard, the Jewish success in influencing immigration policy
is entirely analogous to their success in influencing the
secularization of American culture. As in the case of immigration
policy, the secularization of American culture is a Jewish interest
because Jews have a perceived interest that America not be a
homogeneous Christian culture. 'Jewish civil rights organizations have
had an historic role in the postwar development of American
church-state law and policy' (Ivers 1995, p. 2). Unlike the effort to
influence immigration, the opposition to a homogeneous Christian
culture was mainly carried out in the courts. The Jewish effort in
this case was well funded and was the focus of well-organized, highly
dedicated Jewish civil service organizations, including the
AJCommittee, the AJCongress, and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). It
involved keen legal expertise both in the actual litigation but also
in influencing legal opinion via articles in law journals and other
forums of intellectual debate, including the popular media. It also
involved a highly charismatic and effective leadership, particularly
Leo Pfeffer of the AJCongress:
No other lawyer exercised such complete intellectual dominance over a
chosen area of law for so extensive a periodľas an author, scholar,
public citizen, and above all, legal advocate who harnessed his
multiple and formidable talents into a single force capable of
satisfying all that an institution needs for a successful
constitutional reform movement.... That Pfeffer, through an enviable
combination of skill, determination, and persistence, was able in such
a short period of time to make church-state reform the foremost cause
with which rival organizations associated the AJCongress illustrates
well the impact that individual lawyers endowed with exceptional
skills can have on the character and life of the organizations for
which they work.... As if to confirm the extent to which Pfeffer is
associated with post-Everson [i.e., post-1946] constitutional
development, even the major critics of the Court's church-state
jurisprudence during this period and the modern doctrine of
separationism rarely fail to make reference to Pfeffer as the central
force responsible for what they lament as the lost meaning of the
establishment clause. (Ivers 1995, pp. 222-224)
Similarly, Hollinger (1996, p. 4) notes 'the transformation of the
ethnoreligious demography of American academic life by Jews' in the
period from the 1930s to the 1960s, as well as the Jewish influence on
trends toward the secularization of American society and in advancing
an ideal of cosmopolitanism (p. 11). The pace of this influence was
very likely influenced by immigration battles of the 1920s. Hollinger
notes that the 'the old Protestant establishment's influence persisted
until the 1960s in large measure because of the Immigration Act of
1924: had the massive immigration of Catholics and Jews continued at
pre-1924 levels, the course of American history would have been
different in many ways, including, one may reasonably speculate, a
more rapid diminution of Protestant cultural hegemony. Immigration
restriction gave that hegemony a new lease of life' (p. 22). It is
reasonable to suppose, therefore, that the immigration battles from
1881 to 1965 have been of momentous historical importance in shaping
the contours of American culture in the late twentieth century.
The ultimate success of Jewish attitudes on immigration was also
influenced by intellectual movements that collectively resulted in a
decline of evolutionary and biological thinking in the academic world.
Although playing virtually no role in the restrictionist position in
the Congressional debates on the immigration (which focused mainly on
the fairness of maintaining the ethnic status quo; see below), a
component of the intellectual zeitgeist of the 1920s was the
prevalence of evolutionary theories of race and ethnicity (Singerman
1986), particularly the theories of Madison Grant. In The Passing of
the Great Race, Grant (1921) argued that the American colonial stock
was derived from superior Nordic racial elements and that immigration
of other races would lower the competence level of the society as a
whole as well as threaten democratic and republican institutions.
Grant's ideas were popularized in the media at the time of the
immigration debates (see Divine 1957, pp. 12ff) and often provoked
negative comments in Jewish publications such as The American Hebrew
(e.g., March 21, 1924, pp. 554, 625).5
The debate over group differences in IQ was also tied to the
immigration issue. C. C. Brigham's study of intelligence among United
States army personnel concluded that Nordics were superior to Alpine
and Mediterranean Europeans, and Brigham (1923, p. 210) concluded that
'(i)mmigration should not only be restrictive but highly selective.'
In the Foreword to Brigham's book, Harvard psychologist Robert M.
Yerkes stated that 'The author presents not theories but facts. It
behooves us to consider their reliability and meaning, for no one of
us as a citizen can afford to ignore the menace of race deterioration
or the evident relation of immigration to national progress and
welfare' (in Brigham 1923, pp. vii-viii).
Nevertheless, as Samelson (1975) points out, the drive to restrict
immigration originated long before IQ testing came into existence and
restriction was favored by a variety of groups, including organized
labor, for reasons other than those related to race and IQ, including
especially the fairness of maintaining the ethnic status quo in the
United States. Moreover, although Brigham's IQ testing results did
indeed appear in the statement submitted by the Allied Patriotic
Societies to the House hearings,6 the role of IQ testing in the
immigration debates has been greatly exaggerated (Snyderman &
Herrnstein, 1983). Indeed, IQ testing was never even mentioned in
either the House Majority Report or the Minority Report, and 'there is
no mention of intelligence testing in the Act; test results on
immigrants appear only briefly in the committee hearings and are then
largely ignored or criticized, and they are brought up only once in
over 600 pages of congressional floor debate, where they are subjected
to further criticism without rejoinder. None of the major contemporary
figures in testing ... were called to testify, nor were their writings
inserted into the legislative record' (Snyderman & Herrnstein 1983,
994).
It is also very easy to over-emphasize the importance of theories of
Nordic superiority as an ingredient of popular and Congressional
restrictionist sentiment. As Singerman (1986, 118-119) points out,
'racial anti-Semitism' was employed by only 'a handful of writers;'
and 'the Jewish 'problem' ... was a minor preoccupation even among
such widely-published authors as Madison Grant or T. Lothrop Stoddard
and none of the individuals examined [in Singerman's review] could be
regarded as professional Jew-baiters or full-time propagandists
against Jews, domestic or foreign.' As indicated below, arguments
related to Nordic superiority, including supposed Nordic intellectual
superiority, played remarkably little role in Congressional debates
over immigration in the 1920s, the common argument of the
restrictionists being that immigration policy should reflect equally
the interests of all ethnic groups currently in the country.
Nevertheless, it is probable that the decline in
evolutionary/biological theories of race and ethnicity facilitated the
sea change in immigration policy brought about by the 1965 law. As
Higham (1984) notes, by the time of the final victory in 1965 which
removed national origins and racial ancestry from immigration policy
and opened up immigration to all human groups, the Boasian perspective
of cultural determinism and anti-biologism had become standard
academic wisdom. The result was that 'it became intellectually
fashionable to discount the very existence of persistent ethnic
differences. The whole reaction deprived popular race feelings of a
powerful ideological weapon' (Higham 1984, pp. 58-59).
Jewish intellectuals were prominently involved in the movement to
eradicate the racialist ideas of Grant and others (Degler 1991, p.
200). Indeed, even during the earlier debates leading up to the
immigration bills of 1921 and 1924, restrictionists perceived
themselves to be under attack from Jewish intellectuals. In 1918,
Prescott F. Hall, secretary of the Immigration Restriction League,
wrote to Grant that 'What I wanted ... was the names of a few
anthropologists of note who have declared in favor of the inequality
of the races.... I am up against the Jews all the time in the equality
argument and thought perhaps you might be able offhand to name a few
(besides Osborn) whom I could quote in support' (in Samelson 1975, p.
467).
Grant also believed that Jews were engaged in a campaign to discredit
racial research. In the Introduction to the 1921 edition of Passing of
the Great Race, Grant complained that '(i)t is well-nigh impossible to
publish in the American newspapers any reflection upon certain
religions or races which are hysterically sensitive even when not
mentioned by name. The underlying idea seems to be that if publication
can be suppressed the facts themselves will ultimately disappear.
Abroad, conditions are fully as bad, and we have the authority of one
of the most eminent anthropologists in France that the collection of
anthropological measurements and data among French recruits at the
outbreak of the Great War was prevented by Jewish influence, which
aimed to suppress any suggestion of racial differentiation in France.'
Particularly important was the work of Columbia University
anthropologist Franz Boas and his followers. 'Boas' influence upon
American social scientists in matters of race can hardly be
exaggerated' (Degler 1991, p. 61). He engaged in a 'life-long assault
on the idea that race was a primary source of the differences to be
found in the mental or social capabilities of human groups. He
accomplished his mission largely through his ceaseless, almost
relentless articulation of the concept of culture' (p. 61). 'Boas,
almost single-handedly, developed in America the concept of culture,
which, like a powerful solvent, would in time expunge race from the
literature of social science' (p. 71).
Throughout this explication of Boas's conception of culture and his
opposition to a racial interpretation of human behavior, the central
point has been that Boas did not arrive at the position from a
disinterested, scientific inquiry into a vexed if controversial
question. Instead, his idea derived from an ideological commitment
that began in his early life and academic experiences in Europe and
continued in America to shape his professional outlook.... there is no
doubt that he had a deep interest in collecting evidence and designing
arguments that would rebut or refute an ideological
outlook'racism'which he considered restrictive upon individuals and
undesirable for society.... there is a persistent interest in pressing
his social values upon the profession and the public. (Degler 1991,
pp. 82-83)
There is evidence that Boas strongly identified as a Jew and viewed
his research as having important implications in the political arena
and particularly in the area of immigration policy. Boas was born in
Prussia to a 'Jewish-liberal' family in which the revolutionary ideals
of 1848 remained influential (Stocking 1968, p. 149). Boas developed a
'left-liberal posture which ... is at once scientific and political'
(Stocking 1968, p. 149) and was intensely concerned with anti-Semitism
from an early period in his life (White 1966, p. 16). Moreover, Boas
was deeply alienated from and hostile toward gentile culture,
particularly the cultural ideal of the Prussian aristocracy (Degler
1991, p. 200; Stocking 1968, p. 150). For example, when Margaret Mead
was looking for a way to persuade Boas to let her pursue her research
in the South Sea islands, 'she hit upon a sure way of getting him to
change his mind. 'I knew there was one thing that mattered more to
Boas than the direction taken by anthropological research. This was
that he should behave like a liberal, democratic, modern man, not like
a Prussian autocrat.' The ploy worked because she had indeed uncovered
the heart of his personal values' (Degler 1991, p. 73).
Boas was greatly motivated by the immigration issue as it occurred
early in the century. Carl Degler (1991, p. 74) notes that Boas'
professional correspondence 'reveals that an important motive behind
his famous head-measuring project in 1910 was his strong personal
interest in keeping America diverse in population.' The study, whose
conclusions were placed into the Congressional Record by
Representative Emanuel Celler during the debate on immigration
restriction (Cong. Rec., April 8, 1924, pp. 5915-5916), concluded that
the environmental differences consequent to immigration caused
differences in head shape. (At the time, head shape as determined by
the 'cephalic index' was the main measurement used by scientists
involved in racial differences research.) Boas argued that his
research showed that all foreign groups living in favorable social
circumstances had become assimilated to America in the sense that
their physical measurements converged on the American type. Although
he was considerably more circumspect regarding his conclusions in the
body of his report (see also Stocking 1968, p. 178), Boas (1911, p. 5)
stated in his Introduction that 'all fear of an unfavorable influence
of South European immigration upon the body of our people should be
dismissed.' As a further indication of Boas' ideological commitment to
the immigration issue, Degler makes the following comment regarding
one of Boas' environmentalist explanations for mental differences
between immigrant and native children: 'Why Boas chose to advance such
an adhoc interpretation is hard to understand until one recognizes his
desire to explain in a favorable way the apparent mental backwardness
of the immigrant children' (p. 75).
Boas and his students were intensely concerned with pushing an
ideological agenda within the American anthropological profession
(Degler 1991; Freeman 1991; Torrey 1992). In this regard it is
interesting that Boas and his associates had a much more highly
developed sense of group identity, a commitment to a common viewpoint,
and an agenda to dominate the institutional structure of anthropology
than did their opponents (Stocking 1968, pp. 279-280). The defeat of
the Darwinians 'had not happened without considerable exhortation of
'every mother's son' standing for the 'Right.' Nor had it been
accomplished without some rather strong pressure applied both to
staunch friends and to the 'weaker brethren''often by the sheer force
of Boas' personality' (Stocking 1968, 286). By 1915 the Boasians
controlled the American Anthropological Association and held a
two-thirds majority on the Executive Board (Stocking 1968, 285). By
1926 every major department of anthropology in the United States was
headed by a student of Boas, the majority of whom were Jewish.
According to White (1966, p. 26), Boas' most influential students were
Ruth Benedict, Alexander Goldenweiser, Melville Herskovits, Alfred
Kroeber, Robert Lowie, Margaret Mead, Paul Radin, Edward Sapir, and
Leslie Spier. All of this 'small, compact group of scholars ...
gathered about their leader' (White 1966, p. 26) were Jews with the
exception of Kroeber, Benedict and Mead. Indeed, Herskovits (1953, p.
91), whose hagiography of Boas qualifies as one of the most worshipful
in intellectual history, noted that
(t)he four decades of the tenure of [Boas'] professorship at Columbia
gave a continuity to his teaching that permitted him to develop
students who eventually made up the greater part of the significant
professional core of American anthropologists, and who came to man and
direct most of the major departments of anthropology in the United
States. In their turn, they trained the students who ... have
continued the tradition in which their teachers were trained.
By the mid-1930s the Boasian view of the cultural determination of
human behavior had a strong influence on social scientists generally
(Stocking 1968, p. 300).
The ideology of racial equality was an important weapon on behalf of
opening immigration up to all human groups. For example, in a 1951
statement to Congress, the AJCongress stated that 'The findings of
science must force even the most prejudiced among us to accept, as
unqualifiedly as we do the law of gravity, that intelligence, morality
and character, bear no relationship whatever to geography or place of
birth.'7 The statement went on to cite some of Boas' popular writings
on the subject as well as the writings of Boas' prot??g?? Ashley
Montagu, perhaps the most visible opponent of the concept of race
during this period. Montagu, whose original name was Israel Ehrenberg,
theorized that humans are innately cooperative (but not innately
aggressive) and there is a universal brotherhood among humans (see
Shipman 1994, p. 159ff).
And in 1952 another Boas' prot??g??, Margaret Mead, testified before
the President's Commission on Immigration and Naturalization (PCIN)
(1953, p. 92) that 'all human beings from all groups of people have
the same potentialities.... Our best anthropological evidence today
suggests that the people of every group have about the same
distribution of potentialities.' Another witness stated that the
executive board of the American Anthropological Association had
unanimously endorsed the proposition that '(a)ll scientific evidence
indicates that all peoples are inherently capable of acquiring or
adapting to our civilization' (PCIN 1953, p. 93). By 1965 Senator
Jacob Javits (Cong. Rec., 111, 1965, p. 24469) confidently announced
to the Senate during the debate on the immigration bill that '(b)oth
the dictates of our consciences as well as the precepts of
sociologists tell us that immigration, as it exists in the national
origins quota system, is wrong, and without any basis in reason or
fact for we know better than to say that one man is better than
another because of the color of his skin.' The intellectual revolution
and its translation into public policy had been completed.
NOTE: Since the publication of this article, I came across the
following from Hugh Davis Graham's Collision Course: The Strange
Convergence of Affirmative Action and Immigration Policy in America
(New York, Oxford University Press, 2002, pp. 56-57):
Most important for the content of immigration reform [i.e.,
anti-restriction], the driving force at the core of the movement,
reaching back to the 1920s, were Jewish organizations long active in
opposing racial and ethnic quotas. These included the American Jewish
Congress, the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B'rith, and the American Federation of Jews from Eastern Europe.
Jewish members of the Congress, particularly representatives from New
York and Chicago, had maintained steady but largely ineffective
pressure against the national origins quotas since the 1920s....
Following the shock of the Holocaust, Jewish leaders had been
especially active in Washington in furthering immigration reform. To
the public, the most visible evidence of the immigration reform drive
was played by Jewish legislative leaders, such as Representative
Celler and Senator Jacob Javits of New York. Less visible, but equally
important, were the efforts of key advisers on presidential and agency
staffs. These included senior policy advisers such as Julius Edelson
and Harry Rosenfield in the Truman administration, Maxwell Rabb in the
Eisenhower White House, and presidential aide Myer Feldman, assistant
secretary of state Abba Schwartz, and deputy attorney general Norbert
Schlei in the Kennedy-Johnson administration.
JEWISH ANTI-RESTRICTIONIST POLITICAL ACTIVITY
Jewish Anti-Restrictionist Activity up to 1924.
While Jewish involvement in altering the intellectual discussion of
race and ethnicity appears to have had long term repercussions on
United States immigration policy, Jewish political involvement was
ultimately of much greater significance. Jewish opinion is not
monolithic. Nevertheless, although there have been dissenters, Jews
have been 'the single most persistent pressure group favoring a
liberal immigration policy' in the United States in the entire
immigration debate beginning in 1881 (Neuringer 1971, p. ii):
In undertaking to sway immigration policy in a liberal direction,
Jewish spokesmen and organizations demonstrated a degree of energy
unsurpassed by any other interested pressure group. Immigration had
constituted a prime object of concern for practically every major
Jewish defense and community relations organization. Over the years,
their spokesmen had assiduously attended congressional hearings, and
the Jewish effort was of the utmost importance in establishing and
financing such non-sectarian groups as the National Liberal
Immigration League and the Citizens Committee for Displaced Persons.
As recounted by Nathan C. Belth (1979, p. 173) in his history of the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL), 'In Congress, through
all the years when the immigration battles were being fought, the
names of Jewish legislators were in the forefront of the liberal
forces: from Adolph Sabath to Samuel Dickstein and Emanuel Celler in
the House and from Herbert H. Lehman to Jacob Javits in | | | | | | |
