National security has always been an integral consideration in
immigration policy, never more so than in the aftermath of
September 11, 2001. This is the first history of American
immigration policy written in the post-9/11 environment to focus
specifically on the role of national security considerations in
determining that policy. As LeMay makes clear, this is not the
first time America has worried about letting "foreigners" through
our "gates." By the time readers reach the final chapter, in which
current policies regarding the interplay between immigration and
national security are discussed, they have the historical
perspective necessary to assess the pros and cons of what is
happening today. They are able to more clearly answer questions
such as: Does putting the Immigration and Naturalization Service
under the Department of Homeland Security make the country more
secure? Do vigilantes improve border security? How are we handling
the balance between national security and civil liberties compared
to the ways in which we handled it during World Wars I and II and
the Cold War? LeMay does not advocate a specific policy; rather, he
gives citizens and students the tools to make up their own minds
about this enduringly controversial issue.
