Reviews
'As comprehensive as it is readable, A Nation of Immigrants tells the story of immigration to America over four centuries. This new edition includes astute discussions of the policies of the Obama and Trump administrations-and how they embody the narratives of welcome and nativism that have been present throughout U.S. history.'

Synopsis
This well-reasoned analysis of controversial immigration issues is for academics, policymakers, and the public alike. The book traces the historical roots of current policy debates and opinions and evaluates competing models of immigration. It concludes with recommendations for reforming US immigration policies to better serve national interests., 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.
