This comprehensive resource explains six eras of immigration law,
how and why immigration law has changed, who the major actors and
organizations shaping immigration law are, and in what direction
immigration law is likely to proceed in the near future. The United
States has the most diverse population of any country in the world
and is widely thought of as a nation of immigrants. U.S.
immigration has been and continues to be a contentious political,
cultural, and social issue. Much of current immigration policy is
based on the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, a law
advocated by former President John F. Kennedy to establish a
preference system of legal immigration. This book provides an
authoritative analysis of current U.S. immigration law and the 1965
Act. It explains the precursor laws to the 1965 Act and their
failure to resolve many critical problems, and details how and why
the law was passed. It describes and profiles all the major actors
and organizations that determine the politics of US immigration
policy and details the impact-both foreseen and unanticipated-that
the 1965 Act has had on the American economy, culture,
demographics, and societal diversity. It offers an objective source
for accessing an extensive list of the most important documents,
governmental data, and scholarly discourse on U.S. immigration. A
timeline highlights key events related to U.S. immigration Chapters
discuss the precursors of the 1965 act, the act itself, and the
evolution of U.S. immigration policy since 1965 Profiles of key
people and organizations provide fundamental information about the
chief creators of the act Primary source documents help readers
understand the creation and significance of the act A bibliography
directs readers to additional sources of information about the act
and U.S. immigration policy
