Throughout America's history immigration policy has always been a
controversial and complex topic, going to the heart of what it
means to be American. Now, with terrorism as a new concern,
Americans have begun to look closer at the effects of rising
immigration and porous borders. In this cogently-argued work,
immigration scholar Otis L. Graham, Jr. examines the history of
immigration pressures and American policy debates and choices. He
begins with the first "Great Wave" of the 1880s and traces the
effects of the system of national origins, enforced from the 1920s
through 1965. The reforms of the 1960s ushered in an era of
large-scale legal and illegal immigration, resulting in a vast
social experiment in demographic transformation. In assessing the
past, present, and future of immigration, Graham shows that the
failure to control the influx of foreigners is leading America
toward further security risks, unsustainable population growth,
imported worker competition with American labor, and, ultimately,
social fragmentation.
