After the conquest and through the declined of the natives surrounding their overworked and poorer conditions, Spaniards did but little to care at the expense of their wealth. Bartolome de las Casas and the New Laws reduced this labor system which angered in part the encomenderos who through civil wars and lack of heirs had their encomiendas reverted to the crown. The repartimiento/mita which is a labor draft within the Inca Empire was changed to a forced labor draft for the Spaniards in order to mine, obraje labor, and agricultural surplus. Negatively speaking, it was an easy faster way to make Spaniards rich. Natives were used to a monetary system and were unconsciously willing to work in order to meet this new type of payments.
This was mainly due to the economic pressure caused by land distribution between social classes. The large landowners were gaining even more power and influence in government, while the peasants were being more and more burdened by labor and money. The desperate peasants rebelled, such as in the Yellow Turban rebellion in 184 C.E. Although the Later Han dynasty possessed the military power required to keep civil disorder under reasonable control, rebellions by the Yellow Turbans and others weakened the Han state during the 2nd and 3rd centuries C.E. Furthermore, the Later Han emperors were unable to prevent the development of factions at court that paralyzed the central government.

Not all settlers considered themselves enemies of the natives but sought to better the lives of the natives and so had a second unintentional effect of introducing disease for which the natives had no immunity (Department of Aboriginal Affairs, 2011). The Spanish saw the Islands now known as the Philippine Islands as a prime location for military post and trade center. They conquered the islands with their superior military destroyed their culture as they saw it as Satanic but did not occupy the Islands as a colony and ruled through native chiefs. Much of the culture of the Filipino people before Spanish rule has been lost but the people themselves have remained (Library of congress, 2014). The indigenous people of the continent now known as Australia were a simple people very minimalist in their approach to life and nurturing of the members of their group.

Perhaps one of the biggest flaws in the U.S. immigration policies over the past two centuries has been the fact that it is expensive to enforce immigration laws. Those coming to America have become aware of this issue and used it to their advantage. After all, cheap labor was initially popular with the slave trade when America was first being colonized.
