Unitarian Fry: Fatigue Analysis
There have been bureaucratic delays in visa procedure which have literally condemned to death many stalwart democrats... This is a challenge which we cannot, must not, ignore.
“Varian Fry, The Massacre of Jews in Europe.”
Varian Fry
Especially instrumental in getting Fry the visas he needed for the artists, intellectuals and political dissidents on his list was Hiram Bingham IV, an American Vice Consul in Marseille who fought against State Department anti-Semitism and was personally responsible for issuing thousands of visas, both legal and illegal.
From his isolated position in Marseille, Varian Fry relied on the Unitarian Service Committee in Lisbon to help the refugees he sent.

    Sacco And Vanzetti's Violation Of American Legion In The United States

    There was fear and suspicion of immigrants and foreigners fueled by WW1 propaganda, widespread labor, rise of communism and series of terrorist attacks in homelands. American Legion was found in St. Louis on May 8, 1919 to uphold and defend constitution of the US to maintain law & order to protect 100% Americanism. In May 12, prominent attorneys (including Harvard professors Dean Pound, Zechariah Chafee, and Felix Frankfurter, who became the Supreme Court Justice and a proponent of Sacco and Vanzetti's innocence) issued a report enumerating the Justice Department's violations of Civil Liberties. The New York Assembly's decision to bar its Socialist members were met with disgust by national newspapers and leaders for example: Senator Warren…

    Franklin D. Roosevelt DBQ Essay

    In aforementioned letter to Governor Herbert Lehman, he foolishly wrote, “I believe that the department of state have had no other desire than to carry out the immigration duties placed upon them by the immigration acts of 1924” (Document 1). Roosevelt, as of 1935 when this letter was written, believed that the state department was doing every possible thing it could to save jews in Europe. This could be true, but even without Breckenridge Long, the anti-semitic assistant Secretary of State that would later be appointed and intentionally deny visas to jews based on red tape, the State Department was still remarkably anti-semitic. The fact that the president wrote that he merely “believed” the state department was not up to no good leads one to believe that he did no verification while looking into them. He simply operated on a false assumption that all would comply. And this assumption cost millions their lives. Once Breckenridge Long was appointed in 1940, the denial of visas became verified and systematic. In a damning memo, written soon after he was appointed in 1940, but hidden from all but the state department, he advised to, “[P]ostpone and postpone and postpone the granting of the visas” (Film) in order to keep jews out. This was a major scandal in the administration, but it should have been seen coming, given Breckenridge’s history. Edward Stettinius, Undersecretary of State at…

    Housewife Fatigue In Friedan's Cases

    The cases Friedan brought up in the first chapter confirms how unhappy women are, pointing towards feminine fulfillment being met early, lack of energy, and “housewife fatigue.”2 The goals women were expected to make were to marry early, have children, and act as a modern housewife. Per Friedan’s observations, most women typically didn’t have the time or experience to set their own personal goals. With goals as a woman having been sorted out incredibly early into a woman’s timeline, it’s difficult to find a source of satisfaction for the next decade or more without setting any new goals aside from what society has expected. In addition, housewives are being taxed daily. With many husbands working a 9-5, their wives are left to sort out the…

    Alien Minors (DREAM) Act Analysis

    In the presidential election between President Barack Obama and Senator Mitt Romney in 2012, the prospective vice president of Mitt Romney, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was going to suggest a Republican version of the DREAM Act (Wong et al. :8). This was going to help the Republicans to receive more support from immigrant voters. In order to compete with this, President Obama initiated the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program that would give temporary deportation relief and work authorization for two years to unauthorized youth. He announced it on June 15, 2012, but it did not really began until one month later, August 15, 2012. However, this did not guarantee a pathway to citizenship. Although this was similar to the DREAM Act, it was very different in which it was temporary relief and could be revoked at any time. Over a half of million applied, 573,000 and 430,000 did receive deferred action (Wong and Garcia 2). Only a small percentage were denied. However, there were studies that told that males were more likely to be denied than females and the older the applicant the much likely chance of denial…

    Immigration Reform Persuasive Essay

    The evening news is ripe with controversial legislation, policy and debate from the lawmakers of the United States. Some of the most interesting headlines in recent history discuss the huge battles on labor laws in Wisconsin and Iowa, the anticipation of a Republican front runner for the upcoming Presidential elections, and discussion of our nation’s ability to understand and predict future happenings in Libya, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Any of these topics could spark a heated conversation in any coffee house or roadside diner in this country but perhaps there is no issue which stays on the forefront, which riles testy tempers, and which needs to be discussed so much as this country’s policies on immigration. Certainly immigration has served as a major theme of nearly every generation of this country’s existence from the early waves of settlers, to the Chinese influx during the railroad days, to the pouring in of Europeans through Ellis Island but never before has the media clung to the issue with such tenacity bringing about the public demand for change. The laws in place are not working to curb illegal immigration and the harshest policies are serving to destroy communities and drive away the very hard-working and humble personalities that this country needs the most. Now is the time for the government of the United States to considerately review and amend laws regarding immigration to this country and provide a modern, safe and reasonable system for immigration.…

    Argumentative Essay Immigration

    Immigration has recently been a brewing topic within the media and has caught many people’s attention. This issue has brought multiple political figures and opinions into-the spotlight, each accompanied by a plan and part of a political agenda. Central American immigration into the U.S. still remains unsolved despite the efforts of President Obama who had promised a comprehensive immigration reform. Some believe that America was built upon immigrants, and that smart immigration practices will benefit the economy and nation as a whole. However, others feel that immigrants hurt the nation by limiting the number of jobs available to Americans, and bring crime and public insecurity. Since the Immigration and Reform Act of 1986, both the Democrats…
