5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to read and learn about immigration,
By Ally (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arguing Immigration: The Debate Over the Changing Face of America (Paperback)
I'm a college student and was asked to read this book for one of my classes. Going into reading this book, I knew absolutely nothing about the history of immigration, the details of the legislation, or the problems our nation is facing.The first thing that makes this book stand out from other similar books I have been reading for this course is that the book is organized. There are 11 articles by various authors and Mills does a great job in splitting these articles up into 5 categories. Every article was easy to read and understand. There were many times when I would get so into a story that I didn't want to put the book down until I finished it. Mills did a great job in selecting articles that didn't just pour facts and statistics at you. The most important thing I enjoyed about this book is that Mills did not take a side. The book contained articles that were for immigration, against immigration, and some articles that were neutral. I did not feel like I was being pulled in one direction with this book. Through these articles, the reader is left to decide whether he or she believes immigration is a good thing. Immigration is a very big topic, but Mills did a great job in discussing almost every aspect of immigration in a very unbiased way.

Great introductory book to immigration...,
By student (philly) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arguing Immigration: The Debate Over the Changing Face of America (Paperback)
This text is a composition of short essays that lends insight into one of the most controversial issues of today. It provides the framework for a heated debate by arguing various perspectives of immigration. It's a quick read (not dry at all!), informative, interesting and succinct. Highly recommended for those who know very little about the controversy surrounding immigration and would like to catch up.
