Mobilizing Women, Anticipating Abolition: The Struggle against Indian Removal in the
1830s
The Journal of American History (1999) 86(1): 15-40 doi:10.2307/2567405
Mary Hershberger
The unsuccessful campaign against the Indian Removal Act of 1830, Mary Hershberger argues, had great significance in the histories of American women and American reform movements.
The proposed law generated mass opposition that created new forms of political protest and nearly defeated the bill. Young people flocked to the campaign. Some opponents defied state removal measures and went to prison in protest. To defeat removal, women created their first national petition drive, which drew many otherwise traditional women into public political activity. Though the bill passed and removal proceeded, opponents of removal drew on their experience to change the focus and methods of the antislavery movement: They decisively rejected colonization in favor of immediate abolition, determined to prevent what they perceived as a second unjust removal.

The Architecture of Race in American Immigration Law: A Reexamination of the
Immigration Act of 1924 The Journal of American History (1999) 86(1): 67-92
Mae M. Ngai
Often historians treat the passage of a law as a culmination of public agitation and contest. In a study of the Immigration Act of 1924, which screened immigrants according to their national origins and excluded all Asians, Mae M. Ngai regards its passage as a starting point. Ngai, whose essay won the Louis Pelzer Award for 1998, explores how the law was turned into a practical policy of numerical quotas and racial exclusions. She examines how the lawmakers, judges, and civil servants who fashioned immigration policy drew eclectically on social science and popular assumptions to construct categories of race and nationality that had the force of law. Ngai offers an answer to the question: What are the legal origins of twentieth-century American representations of European immigrants as assimilable, Mexicans as illegal aliens, and Asians as permanently foreign?

The Pacific Railway Act (1862) http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=true&doc=32 http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/resources/archives/five/railact.htm
Congress passes the Pacific Railroad Act , which authorizes the Central Pacific and Union
Pacific Companies to build a transcontinental rail line along the 42nd parallel and provides public lands and subsidies for every mile of track laid. http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/events/1860_1870.htm
Subsidies of public money and land were needed to make the effort desirable to the railroads: for every mile of track laid, the companies got a square mile of public land to sell to future settlers.
Federal and state governments gave away 170 million acres in this manner. This massive influx of wealth was the beginning of the fortunes of the great railroad tycoons of the era, such as
Leland Stanford and Cornelius Vanderbilt. http://www.historicoregoncity.org/end-of-the-oregon-trail-history/oregon-trail-history/146railroads-and-the-trail
Sacramento was the western terminus of the Central Pacific, which was building eastward through the mountains. The CP initially enjoyed rapid progress, but construction soon bogged down at the edge of the Sierras. Most of the men had left to search for gold or silver, and the terrain made for extremely tough going. Charles Crocker of the Central Pacific decided to try an experiment, and one day in February, 1865, fifty Chinese workers arrived on a flatcar. They worked twelve hours that same day without complaint. Crocker immediately sent for more
Chinese, and 3000 Chinese laborers pushed the CP through the mountains.
The Chinese took jobs no one else wanted, and hundreds died as a result: they hung over cliffs from ropes to tap holes in the rock; they inserted dynamite and were lucky to clear the explosion on their way back up; they used the new liquid explosive nitroglycerin when others balked.
Surviving on a diet of oysters and vegetables rather than red meat and whiskey, they did not take sick working at high altitude. http://www.historicoregoncity.org/end-of-the-oregon-trail-history/oregon-trail-history/146railroads-and-the-trail above from

Disability and the Historical Geography of Immigration http://www.dsq-sds.org/article/view/505/682
"One of the fundamental imperatives in the initial formation of American immigration policy at the end of the 19th century was the exclusion of disabled people. Beyond the targeting of disabled people, the concept of disability was instrumental in crafting the image of the undesirable immigrant." (Baynton 2001: 45)

“The Undesirability of Admitting Deaf Mutes: U.S. Immigration Policy and Deaf
Immigrants, 1882-1924”
When the federal government began in the 1880s to regulate immigration, the exclusion of what were termed “defectives” was one of the primary aims. Deaf people were among the thousands of disabled immigrants turned back each year at U.S. ports as “undesirables.” Stereotyped as economically dependent and as carriers of potentially defective genes, deaf immigrants were seen as a threat to the nation. The advent of immigration restriction was one aspect of a pervasive and intensified stigmatization of disability during this period, which also saw the widespread

An initial visual check was performed as the immigrants were lead through long lines in the main building--the Ellis Island Immigration Station. If there were apparent signs of disease or physical defects, the back of the person's coat was marked with a letter corresponding to an established list of afflictions. For example, a person with vision problems was marked with an
'E' for eyes, or a person with a curved spine was marked with a 'B' for back. There was no specific marking designated for the ears. What happened to immigrants who were deaf or hard of hearing? They were marked with a 'P' for physical defect, and then they were deported, forced to return to their home countries.

Immigrant acts: on Asian American cultural politics
By Lisa Lowe (book)
“Since the 1950s, undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Latin America have provided much of the low-wage labor in agriculture, construction, hotels, restaurants, and domestic services in the western and southwestern United States. The wages and working conditions of these jobs do not attract U.S. workers: state policy will not legislate the improvement of labor conditions, but neither does it declare officially that the U.S. economy systematically produces jobs that only third world workers find attractive. The result is an officially disavowed and yet unofficially mandated, clandestine movement of illegal immigration, which addresses the economyís need for low-wage labor but whose dehumanization of migrant workers is politically contradictory.”
