In every decade since passage of the Hart Cellar Act of 1965,
Congress has faced conflicting pressures: to restrict legal
immigration and to provide employers with unregulated access to
migrant labor. Lobbying for Inclusion shows that in these debates
immigrant rights groups advocated a surprisingly moderate course of
action: expansionism was tempered by a politics of inclusion.
Rights advocates supported generous family unification policies,
for example, but they opposed proposals that would admit large
numbers of guest workers without providing a clear path to
citizenship. As leaders of pro-immigrant coalitions, Latino and
Asian American rights advocates were highly effective in
influencing immigration lawmakers even before their constituencies
gained political clout in the voting booth. Success depended on
casting rights demands in universalistic terms, while leveraging
their standing as representatives of growing minority populations.
