Immigration

a documentary and reference guide

In the past few years the debate over immigration to the United States has become more shrill and has ignited a great deal of passion. At the same time, the issues involved have become more complex than ever. The controversy today focuses on the presence of the millions of undocumented workers in the country who live and work in the shadow economy, the divisive discussion of the potential security risk posed by uncontrolled and unchecked immigration, and by what some view as a cultural threat posed by foreigners who resist integration into mainstream American culture. - Introduction.
