Immigrants in the Delmarva Poultry Processing by Roger Horowitz and Mark J. Miller Occasional Paper No. 37 January 1999 This paper seeks to provide an overview of and background to the integration
questions arising from the immigrant influx of the 1990's. It is based on
interviews conducted over the summer of 1997, and newspaper reports, books,
and documents pertaining to the poultry-processing industry and immigration
to the U.S. respectively. The focus of the research has been upon Georgetown
and environs in Delaware to provide insights into broader changes affecting
the Delmarva peninsula. The paper is comprised of five segments: first,
an overview of the poultry-processing industry in the region and its growing
use of immigrant workers; second, a discussion of the dynamics of the immigrant
influx of the 1990's; third, a sketch of the immigrant population and its
impact on the Georgetown; fourth, implications of this case study for federal
immigration policy; and fifth, discussion of state and local immigrant integration
measures. Hardcopy Price: $0.00
