Immigration policy is one of the most contentious issues facing the
United States today. The bitter national debate over California's
Proposition 187, the influx of Cuban refugees into Miami, and the
continuous, often illegal, crossings over the Mexican border into
Texas and California are just a few of the episodes that have
created a furor on local, state, and federal levels.In this timely
and informative book, David Heer invites readers to examine the
data and the trends of immigration to the United States and,
ultimately, make up their own minds about what our national
immigration policy ought to be. He demonstrates how social science
findings, together with a conscious recognition of our individual
values, are necessary for the formation of a balanced policy for
immigration.Some of the the nation's collective values that may be
affected by U.S. immigration policy are the standard of living in
this country, the preservation of existing American culture, ethnic
and class conflict, and the power of the United States in
international affairs. Heer examines the impact of these values on
immigration policy and traces the history of U.S. immigration and
immigration law and patterns of immigration to the United States.
Finally, he offers proposals for change to existing immigration
policy.
