Description
  1. xii, 156 p. : ill.; 24 cm.
Summary
  1. The authors present a historical overview of U.S. immigration, followed by an examination of the legislative and legal debates waged over immigration and settlement policies today. The authors also discuss the relationship between minorities and immigrants. They find that the public policy needs of immigrants are often confused with those of U.S.-born minorities. The book closes with the question: If the nation understood the kinds of demands that immigrants legitimately make, would we change the contract between the state and the immigrant?
