Dramatic Changes and Effects of U.S. Immigration Laws on Asian communities,
By
This review is from: Making and Remaking Asian America Through Immigration Policy, 1850-1990 (Paperback)
In 1882, Congress enacted immigration legislation excluding 'idiots,' 'lunatics,' and 'Chinese laborers.' Eventually, a series of laws restricted the entry of every Asian group, though over a period of decades these laws were repealed one by one. The most dramatic change in immigration law came in 1965. Though designed to encourage European immigration, the unintended result of changes in the selection system was that the Asian immigrant population jumped from one million in 1965 to seven million in 1990. This is the first comprehensive study of how U.S. immigration policies have shaped - demographically, economically, and socially - the six largest Asian American communities.
