The first Chinese immigrants arrived in the United States in the 1820s and initially their presence did not result in improving the American perception of China. On the contrary – intense immigration from China led to the development of racist and xenophobic attitudes towards the Chinese (Yellow Peril), which culminated in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. During the Second World War, China became an important ally of the United States, which triggered a succession of changes to laws barring Chinese immigration (Magnuson Act). Contemporary Chinese Americans – particularly Taiwanese Americans – can be located in the upper spheres of immigrant population: they are considered to be a well-educated and affluent group. This paper presents the historical and contemporary socio-economic characteristics of the Sino-American population set against a historical and legal background.

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el Régimen de Regularización Migratoria para ciudadanos senegaleses realizado en el año 2013 en el contexto de la nueva ley migratoria argentina, ley enmarcada en la perspectiva de la gobernabilidad migratoria. Las ideas que exponemos son resultados preliminares de una investigación en curso enfocada en analizar el impacto que tuvo el programa regulatorio en el colectivo de migrantes senegaleses. El caso senegalés vuelve a mostrar las limitaciones de la ley de migraciones, más allá de sus avances en materia de derechos para los migrantes. La inmigración persiste concebida como problema a partir de la irregularidad, donde los migrantes sólo pueden ser aceptados cuando su presencia lo amerita o cuando demuestran medios de vida “lícitos y útiles”. Y si bien para la ley la migración es un derecho, éste es ejercido de manera discrecional hacia ciertos grupos, por ejemplo, a través de la exigencia de visados.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the regime of migratory regularization for Senegalese ci-tizens in the year 2013 in the context of the new Argentine immigration law. The ideas that we present are preliminary results of an ongoing study focused on analyzing the impact that the regulatory program had on the collective of Senegalese migrants. The Senegalese case shows the limitations of migration law, beyond advancement of rights for migrants. Immigration continues to be conceived as a problem of irregularity, migrants can only be accepted when something warrants their presence or when they show that their lives are “lawful and useful”. And while migration is a right, it is exercised in a discretionary way towards certain groups, for example, through the requirement of visas.
