Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page overview of the problems associated with the rising tide of Haitian immigrants experienced in Dade County during the last decade of the twentieth century. The county is characterized by a number of internal problems which can be attributed to its cultural and racial makeup as well as to its extreme economic division. These problems revolve not only around the measures which are needed to simply process such massive amounts of people but also around such resource expenditures as drains on the health and education facilities in the county. Perhaps a far greater concern, however, has been the communication issues which have resulted, communication issues which many contend played a part in the problems encountered in the 2002 Presidential primary elections. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

scale immigration (Suarez-Orozco, 2000). Some 8,795,386 immigrants flooded into the country between 1900 and 1910 while during the latter part of the 1990s an estimated one million immigrants were
arriving per year (Suarez-Orozco, 2000). The type of immigrants that arrived during these decades, however, was quite distinctive. While during the early part of the century the majority
of the immigrant wave was attributed to those of European heritage, the 1990s immigrant was more often from a third world country such as those in Latin America or Asia.
