Synopsis

This book analyzes colonial immigration laws in America prior to the Revolutionary era. The author traces the evolution of these laws from their initial focus on encouraging immigration to their later emphasis on regulation and restriction. The author examines the role of various factors, including religious and economic policies, in shaping these laws. The author concludes that the immigration laws of the colonial period laid the foundation for the complex and often contradictory immigration policies of the United States in the centuries that followed.
