The Huddled Masses Myth: Immigration and Civil Rights

Rating:
Summary: A Great Book on Immigration and Civil Rights!
Review: This is a first rate book on immigration. Even in tone, and written in a clear and accessible way, the book analyzes the implications of the exclusions of immigrants under the U.S. immigration laws. The poor, people of color, political undesirables, certain groups of women, criminals and lesbians and gay men, have been barred from enter the country under the immigration laws. Johnson thoughtfully analyzes this unfortunate history and considers the implications for members for these minority groups in the United States. This book is a "must read" for anyone truly interested in an impartial view on immigration, as well as the civil rights of minorities in the United States.
