On March 22, 2016, The Library Of Congress Issued A Press

On March 22, 2016, the Library of Congress issued a press release outlining their decision to alter their subject heading pertaining to immigration. In the official press release, the Library of Congress outlined their reasoning behind changing their pejorative headings. â€Å"Alien† and â€Å"illegal alien†. The Public and Standards Division of the Library of Congress cited outcry from the immigrant community, as one of their major reasons for their reevaluation. In response, on May 10, Tea Party Republic successfully attempted to restrict the library’s autonym.

Discussion and debates about immigration terms rise in the 1980’s. Systematic policies primed the political arena in the United States to pass the Immigration Act of 1924, which solidified the term â€Å"illegal aliens†. That 1924 Act solidified the term â€Å"illegal aliens† by outline means to criminalized these groups. The terms â€Å"illegal aliens/alien† are used to defined those subjects are deemed unfit or American society. â€Å"Illegal aliens† are perceived as undesirable because they erode American society. American society can historically be interpreted being white American values and practice. They lack the ability to assimilate to â€Å"American society† (Ngai 57).
