The influx of millions of immigrants into the United States has
profoundly impacted the nation's economy, culture, and politics.
Since the founding of our country, our government has worked to
control this migration by enacting different policies to deal with
immigration and naturalization. Students can trace the history and
development of issues surrounding these policies, as well as the
reactions to them, through this unique and comprehensive collection
of over 100 primary documents. Court cases, opinion pieces, and
many other documents bring to life the controversies surrounding
the subject of immigration. Explanatory introductions aid users in
understanding each document and help to illuminate its significance
to the reader.
The major laws on immigration and naturalization are included in
this useful volume, and have been edited to include the principal
provisions in each, thereby making them more accessible to students
without compromising their quality and accuracy. These key primary
documents are arranged chronologically to help the user discover
what has and has not changed over the centuries. The introductory
and explanatory texts help readers understand the issues being
litigated, the social and cultural pressures that shaped each
deate, and the ways in which biases of individual Justices and
Presidents affected immigration and naturalization laws in this
country.
