LeMay offers an insightful examination of the enactment of the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Immigration Act
of 1990. Using the enactment of immigration policy reform--the most
substantial since 1965--he illustrates the various stages of the
public policy process. He shows how problems, such as the illegal
alien influx, become perceived of as public problems and get on the
policy agenda of government. He illustrates the interaction of
interest groups and political leadership in the branches of
government in the formulation and enactment of policy reform.
By examining this area of public policy--one rich in human
interest as well as substantive importance to American politics and
public policy--LeMay provides useful insights into the policy
process, Congressional decision-making, and the complexity of
regulatory policy. This book will be of value to scholars of the
immigration process, lawyers and practitioners involved in
immigration, students of Congressional decision-making and of the
public policy process, and general readers.
