- Abstract
The article discusses the issue of immigration in the U.S. The author states that many Americans still think of their nation as a country of immigrants and a place of opportunity for those that were willing to work hard regardless of socio-economic status at birth. The U.S. needed immigrants to help in the development of its vast territories. However, after the Civil War, the U.S. started to develop immigration policies that desired to protect American borders from certain types of immigrants. The author argues that the polemics that surround the immigration debate will only increase the need for careful scholarship analyzing the issues in immigration law.
