• Part of what you need to understand is that we're forced to look back. You had the importation of third world or developing world conditions into the United States because of a bipartisan elite consensus for neo-liberalism. In other words, you had both political parties, the smarty-pants in both political parties said, hey, let's do these crazy trade deals.

• The importation of foreigners into a country that has as many inhabitants as the present employments and provisions for subsistence will bear, will be in the end no increase of people, unless the new comers have more industry and frugality than the natives, and then they will provide more subsistence, and increase in the country; but they will gradually eat the natives out. Nor is it necessary to bring in foreigners to fill up any occasional vacancy in a country for such vacancy will soon be filled by natural generation.

• Debemos reforzar nuestras leyes de inmigración para impedir la importación de salarios y condiciones de trabajo extranjeros. Debemos declarar ilegal que los empresarios despidan a estadounidenses y luego cubran sus puestos de trabajo trayendo trabajadores del extranjero. Cualquier empresario estadounidense que desee contratar en el extranjero -incluso para trabajos temporales- debería tener que contratar primero a trabajadores estadounidenses. Y deberíamos acabar con la inmigración no cualificada que compite con los jóvenes estadounidenses que acaban de entrar en el mercado laboral.

• Something that comes to us, some gym shoe that comes to us as a result of child labor from a brutal dictatorship, where people do not have basic freedoms, it wouldn't bug me to tax the living Dickens out of that thing or even to forbid its importation whatsoever. But that's a moral question, not an economic question.

• The archiepiscopal throne of Macedonius, which had been polluted with so much Christian blood, was successively filled by Eudoxus and Damophilus. Their diocese enjoyed a free importation of vice and error from every province of the empire; the eager pursuit of religious controversy afforded a new occupation to the busy idleness of the metropolis: and we may credit the assertion of an intelligent observer, who describes, with some pleasantry, the effects of their loquacious zeal.

• Descubrimos demasiado tarde que hemos hecho la vista gorda ante la extinción de una especie esencial para el equilibrio de la vida en un contexto concreto. O descubrimos demasiado tarde que la importación de una forma de vida foránea, animal o vegetal, ha alterado los ecosistemas locales, dañando el suelo o las formas de vida vecinas. Descubrimos que nos hemos acercado al final de los suministros -de combustibles fósiles, por ejemplo- sobre los que hemos construido inmensas estructuras de expectativas rutinarias.

• I have not been able to give a concrete answer to the question of how the nations of Asia can create their own unique liberal arts traditions that are not simply the importation of a Western model. The question is a critical one and the answer must come from Asian universities themselves.

• Gastronomers of the year 1825, who find sateity in the lap of abundance, and dream of some newly-made dishes, you will not enjoy the discoveries which science has in store for the year 1900, such as foods drawn from the mineral kingdom, liqueurs produced by the pressure of a hundred atmospheres; you will never see the importations which travelers yet unborn will bring to you from that half of the globe which has still to be discovered or explored. How I pity you!

• Are you going to give a speech?' she asked gaily. He gave a choked laugh. 'Of course not,' he said. 'Not for ages.' 'My cousin Davey gave one on his very first day!' ... 'In the Lords, I remember. It was about how he didn't like strawberry jam.' 'Be nice, Charles! It was a speech about fruit importation, which I admit devolved into something of a tirade.' She couldn't help but laugh. 'Still, you could talk about something more important.' 'Than jam? Impossible. We mustn't set the bar too high, Jane.

• Listing the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act could harm bear conservation efforts by eliminating revenues from the carefully-regulated sport hunting of polar bears by Americans and the importation of polar bear meat and trophies into the U.S. As hunting by non-Americans would replace hunting by Americans, nothing would be accomplished in terms of reducing the number of polar bears killed, but the revenue currently generated by American sport hunters for conservation and research efforts would be eliminated.

• En Norteamérica prevalece el [deseo] de abolir la esclavitud, muchos de los habitantes de Pensilvania han puesto en libertad a sus esclavos y [los legisladores de Virginia] han solicitado al Rey permiso para promulgar una ley que impida la importación de más [esclavos] a esa colonia. Esta petición, sin embargo, probablemente no será concedida, ya que sus anteriores leyes de este tipo siempre han sido derogadas.

• The Caribbean is such an apocalyptic place, whether it's the decimation of the indigenous populations by the Europeans, whether it's the importation of slaves and their subsequent being worked to death by the millions in many ways, whether it's the immigrant processes which began for many people, new worlds ending their old ones.
