ABSTRACT
The emphasis plays on the theme of the motto E pluribus unum, "Out of many, one". Two decades after the tumultuous 1960s, colleges and universities under the strain of political polarization and confrontation seem oblivious to the debates that are central to social scientists. Many concerned with revising America's immigration policy on the jobs debate not the least of those are people who feel opening the gates more widely or even more critically, offering pathways to citizenship to "illegals" increase the number of competitors, many willing to work for low wages, undercut the labor market. Glazer believes controlling their own destinies to be "the most powerful force arguing for multiculturalism and for resistance to the assimilatory tends of American culture and American society". In addition to demographics and the answers to questions about political affiliation and ideology and candidate, Ruffin revealed that, contrary to the assumptions that the "messenger" was the magnet, it was the "message" that energized the participants.
