In many respects, the United States remains a nation of immigrants.
This is the first book length treatment of the impact of the 1996
welfare reform act on a wide range of immigrant groups in North
America. Contributors to the book draw on ethnographic fieldwork,
government data, and original survey research to show how welfare
reform has reinforced socio-economic hardships for working poor
immigrants. As the essays reveal, reform laws have increased the
social isolation of poor immigrant households and discouraged large
numbers of qualified immigrants from applying for health and
welfare services. All of the articles highlight the importance of
examining federal policy guidelines in conjunction with local
enforcement policies, labor market dynamics, and immigrant
attitudes toward government agencies.
