Did Woodrow Wilson's foreign policy differ significantly from that of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft?
Theodore Roosevelt, Geo politician 1901-1909 RepublicanForeign Policy1. Believed that Americans were superior people destined for supremacy in economic and politicalaffairs. In order for this to happen, Americans had to strive for greatness, cultivate mental fitness,build military force, and prepare to fight.2. International relation expert: understood that U.S. can not rule every portion of the globe throughmilitary or economic reforms. Believed in a balance of power among the industrial nationsthrough negotiation rather than war. Such a balance would enable each imperial power to safeguard its key interest and contribute to world peace and progress.3. Had little patience with claims to sovereignty of small countries or the human rights of weakpeople. In his eyes, the peoples of Latin America, Asia (with the exception of Japan) and Africaas racially inferior and incapable of self-government or industrial progress.4. Wanted to dominant Western Hemisphere. Warned European powers from interfering in U.S.interest (Monroe Doctrine).William Howard Taft, Dollar Diplomat 1909-1913 RepublicanForeign Policy1. Had experience in dealing with imperialist rivals such as Japan as Roosevelt's secretary of war,but lacked Roosevelt's grasp of balance of power politics and capacity for leadership in foreignaffairs.2. Taft's secretary of state, Philander Knox lacked diplomatic expertise. His conduct of foreignpolicy focused on expanding opportunities for corporate investment overseas (Dollar Diplomacy).3. Taft believed that U.S. investments would effectively substitute "dollars for bullets," and thusoffer a more peaceful and less coercive way of maintaining stability and order. No need to flexmilitary muscle to show off U.S. power like Roosevelt.4. Try to expand American economic activities in China which encroached on the Japanese sphere ofinfluence which angered them so they signed a friendship treaty with Russia to exclude U.S. goodsfrom Manchurian markets.Woodrow Wilson, Struggling Idealist 1913-1921 DemocratForeign Policy1. policy in the Caribbean similar to predecessors, sent troops to put down a revolution in Haiti,troops occupied area for 21 years. Dominican Republic (who shared the island of Hispaniola withthe Haitians) refused to accept a treaty making them a protectorate of the U.S. Wilson, forcedthem to accept the rule of a U.S. military government.2. To stop German influence in the Danish West Indies, he purchased the islands from Denmark,renamed it the Virgin Islands, and added it to the U.S. Caribbean Empire.3. He intervened militarily in the Caribbean more often than any American president before him.4. Showed a concern for morality and justice in foreign affairs. Troubled by a foreign policy thatignored a less powerful nation's right to determine its own future. This ideas and beliefs stemsfrom his dealings with Mexico. He wanted U.S. foreign policy to advance democratic idealsand institutions in Mexico. On the one hand, he wanted Mexico to be successful in its efforts tobecome self-governing, on the other hand, not trusting Mexico to find its way through its ownrevolution, he felt compelled to show them the way. His repeated changes in strategy seemed toindicate a lack of skill and decisiveness in foreign affairs at first.5. Wilson recognized something that Roosevelt or Taft had not: that more and more peoples ofthe world were determined to control their own destinies. The U.S. under Wilson was lookingfor a way to support these peoples' democratic aspirations while safeguarding its own economicinterests.
McCarran-Walter Act of 1952?
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 upheld the national origins quota system established bythe Immigration Act of 1924, reinforcing this controversial system of immigrant selection. It also endedAsian exclusion from immigrating to the United States and introduced a system of preferences based onskill sets and family reunification.Situated in the early years of the Cold War, the debate over the revision of U.S. immigration lawdemonstrated a division between those interested in the relationship between immigration and foreignpolicy, and those linking immigration to concerns over national security. The former group, led byindividuals like Democrat Congressman from New York Emanuel Cellar, favored the liberalization ofimmigration laws. Cellar expressed concerns that the restrictive quota system heavily favoredimmigration from Northern and Western Europe and therefore created resentment against the UnitedStates in other parts of the world. He felt the law created the sense that Americans thought people fromEastern Europe as less desirable and people from Asia inferior to those of European descent. The lattergroup, led by Republican Senator from Nevada Pat McCarran and Democrat Congressman fromPennsylvania Francis Walter, expressed concerns that the United States could face communistinfiltration through immigration and that unassimilated aliens could threaten the foundations ofAmerican life. To these individuals, limited and selective immigration was the best way to ensure thepreservation of national security and national interests.Remarkably, economic factors were relatively unimportant in the debate over the new immigrationprovisions. Although past arguments in favor of restrictionism focused on the needs of the Americaneconomy and labor force, in 1952, the Cold War seemed to take precedent in the discussion. Notably,the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations took opposite sides inthe debate, demonstrating that there was not one, clear pro-labor position.At the basis of the Act was the continuation and codification of the National Origins Quota System. Itrevised the 1924 system to allow for national quotas at a rate of one-sixth of one percent of eachnationality's population in the United States in 1920. As a result, 85 percent of the 154,277 visasavailable annually were allotted to individuals of northern and western European lineage. The Actcontinued the practice of not including countries in the Western Hemisphere in the quota system, thoughit did introduce new length of residency requirements to qualify for quota-free entry.The 1952 Act created symbolic opportunities for Asian immigration, though in reality it continued todiscriminate against them. The law repealed the last of the existing measures to exclude Asianimmigration, allotted each Asian nation a minimum quota of 100 visas each year, and eliminated lawspreventing Asians from becoming naturalized American citizens. Breaking down the "Asiatic BarredZone" was a step toward improving U.S. relations with Asian nations. At the same time, however, thenew law only allotted new Asian quotas based on race, instead of nationality. An individual with one ormore Asian parent, born anywhere in the world and possessing the citizenship of any nation, would becounted under the national quota of the Asian nation of his or her ethnicity or against a generic quota forthe "Asian Pacific Triangle." Low quota numbers and a uniquely racial construction for how to applythem ensured that total Asian immigration after 1952 would remain very limited.There were other positive changes to the implementation of immigration policy in the 1952 Act. Onewas the creation of a system of preferences which served to help American consuls abroad prioritize visa applicants in countries with heavily oversubscribed quotas. Under the preference system, individualswith special skills or families already resident in the United States received precedence, a policy still inuse today. Moreover, the Act gave non-quota status to alien husbands of American citizens (wives hadbeen entering outside of the quota system for several years by 1952) and created a labor certificationsystem, designed to prevent new immigrants from becoming unwanted competition for Americanlaborers.President Truman was concerned about the decisions to maintain the national origins quota system andto establish racially constructed quotas for Asian nations. He thought the new law was discriminatory,and he vetoed it, but the law had enough support in Congress to pass over his veto.Commentary"I believe that this nation is the last hope of Western civilization and if this oasis of the world shall beoverrun, perverted, contaminated or destroyed, then the last flickering light of humanity will beextinguished. I take no issue with those who would praise the contributions which have been made toour society by people of many races, of varied creeds and colors. America is indeed a joining together ofmany streams which go to form a mighty river which we call the American way. However, we have inthe United States today hard-core, indigestible blocs which have not become integrated into theAmerican way of life, but which, on the contrary are its deadly enemies. Today, as never before, untoldmillions are storming our gates for admission and those gates are cracking under the strain. Thesolution of the problems of Europe and Asia will not come through a transplanting of those problems enmasse to the United States.... I do not intend to become prophetic, but if the enemies of this legislationsucceed in riddling it to pieces, or in amending it beyond recognition, they will have contributed more topromote this nation's downfall than any other group since we achieved our independence as a nation"(Senator Pat McCarran, Cong. Rec., March 2, 1953, p. 1518)."Today, we are protecting ourselves as we were in 1924, against being flooded by immigrants fromEastern Europe. This is fantastic...We do not need to be protected against immigrants from thesecountries on the contrary we want to stretch out a helping hand, to save those who have managed to fleeinto Western Europe, to succor those who are brave enough to escape from barbarism, to welcome andrestore them against the day when their countries will, as we hope, be free again...these are only a fewexamples of the absurdity, the cruelty of carrying over into this year of 1952 the isolationist limitationsof our 1924 law. In no other realm of our national life are we so hampered and stultified by the deadhand of the past, as we are in this field of immigration." (President Harry Truman's veto message).Truman vetoed the McCarran-Walter Act because he regarded the bill as "un-American" anddiscriminatory. Truman's veto was overridden by a vote of 278 to 113 in the House, and 57 to 26 in theSenate. Parts of the McCarran-Walter Act remain in place today but much of it was overturned by theImmigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965.
