Description
Examines major policy debates and public controversies surrounding immigration in the United States, inviting reflection on American anxieties about immigration and the public policies designed to control it. Explores the reasons why incongruous political alliances all but ensure relatively high levels of immigration in the foreseeable future and probes the extent to which post-1965 immigrants are becoming incorporated into the U.S. political system. Related topics of discussion include the dynamics of immigrant advocacy and the prevailing asymmetry between immigrant numbers and political power.
