This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the immigration debate of the early 1900s, which largely focused on the issue of whether to limit the number of immigrants arriving to the United States, and if so, how, from where, and who would enforce such restrictions. The text provides a comprehensive overview of the topic, addressing the following: the economic, social, political, and cultural effects of large-scale immigration; the supposed inferiority of the new wave of European immigrants who originated from nations other than those of Northern Europe, and fears regarding their assimilation into American culture; and the arguments for limiting immigration, as well as the opposition to such limits. Overall, this book provides a valuable historical perspective on immigration in the United States and the concerns raised at the time, making it a relevant resource for understanding the ongoing debate over immigration's effects on the nation.
