Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In lucid, readable prose, with supporting charts and statistics, the authors discuss the nature of foreign influx over the years, relating diverse patterns to U.S. official and unofficial policy as well as politics and living conditions in the immigrants' countries of origin. They characterize immigrant America in its variety, from common laborer to educated elite, identifying those who "make it" and those who don't. Taking a position at odds with the negativism expressed by Richard D. Lamm and Gary Imhoff in The Immigration Time Bomb (LJ 12/85), these authors project a very positive attitude toward the role that immigrants play in American life. Negatively, source countries may suffer "brain (or labor) drain," while the United States mostly gains from the newcomers' drive, energy, and cultural diversity. Highly recommended for general readers and policymakers.
