Immigration makes America what it is and is formative for what it
will become. America was settled by three different models of
immigration, all of which persist to the present. The Virginia
Colony largely equated immigration with the arrival of laborers,
who had few rights. Massachusetts welcomed those who shared the
religious views of the founders but excluded those whose beliefs
challenged prevailing orthodoxy. Pennsylvania valued pluralism,
becoming the most diverse colony in religion, language, and
culture. A fourth, anti-immigration model also emerged during the
colonial period, and was often fueled by populist leaders who
stoked fears about newcomers. Arguing that the Pennsylvania model
has best served the country, this book makes key recommendations
for future immigration reform. Given the highly controversial
nature of immigration in the United States, this second edition -
updated to analyze policy changes in the Obama and Trump
administrations - provides valuable insights for academics and
policymakers.
