Summary:

While America in the ideal is thought of as a nation of immigrants freely open to other immigrants, the politics and realities surrounding immigration have often been less straightforward. The intent of the authors here is to inform students, researchers, and others interested in the issue about current developments and the points of contention in U.S. immigration policy. The authors address public policy issues such as inclusion/exclusion and illegal immigration; the positive and negative aspects of immigration on finances, work lives, and environment, and the effects immigrants have had on the "proverbial American melting pot." Editors are Gans (immigration policy program, U. of Arizona), Replogle (sociology, U. of Oregon), and Tichenor (political science and Politics and Policy Program, Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics, U. of Oregon).
