Debates in the U.S. Senate on Immigration Reform 2012–2013ABSTRACT
The article provides an insight into Unites States’ immigration system changes, from the times of Bill Clinton’s presidency until today, when the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. has surpassed eleven million and the need to regulate immigration system is essential not only from an economic and safety but also from social point of view. Article’s contribution is an analysis of the implementation processes of new immigrant legislation in the presidential mandate of Barack Obama and an overview of the planned legislation changes that were made in the U.S. Senate. In the conclusion, we also offer a forecast of what is to expect in the field of immigration legislation, once the debate is moved to the House of Representatives.
KEY WORDS: immigration, USA, immigration legislation, illegal immigrants, undocumented immigrants, immigration system reform

Representations of Non-European World in Educational System: Textbooks as an Actor of Ethnocentric and Racist SocializationABSTRACT
The intention of this paper is to determine how the educational system as a significant actor in the socialization process generates ethno-/Eurocentric standpoints respectively, and racist representations of “the other”. The article is methodologically based on the social-historical and comparative method of selected theories from the research field of ethno-/Eurocentrism and racism and their reproduction in educational discourse. The author states that geography and history textbooks frequently enable the defining of potentially possible and above all exceedingly plausible situations, which leads to negative, Eurocentric and racist conclusions about Non-Europeans and migrants. This can be achieved by means of particular linguistic strategies, selection of illustrative material, and especially at the level of content and broader textual context.
