Excerpt from Immigration Restriction
The United States of America, a nation great in all things, is ours today. To whom will it belong tomorrow? Many years ago our people, proud of their institutions, ambitious, hopeful, altruistic and sympathetic, entertained the thought that their country was destined by an all-wise Providence to serve as the world's great harbor of refuge to which the ill-circumstanced of all nations might repair. The myth of the melting pot grew and ?ourished. With little or no discrimination we took unto ourselves the blood of all classes and all climes, all races and all religions. Our land was new. It needed development. We yearned for growth in things material. Counting not the ultimate cost, we invited all to come to help us build our houses and our highways, to help us dig our coal and iron and gold, to help us hew and plant and fabricate.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the history of immigration to the United States, arguing that opposition to immigration has been a consistent trend since the American Revolution. Fears over immigrants taking jobs, overwhelming native-born populations, and destabilizing the country have persisted throughout centuries of American history. The author traces the enactment of restrictive laws dating back to the 1700s, as well as the social unrest and violence that immigrants faced. This book positions immigration within the broader narrative of the American experience, highlighting how immigration has been a contentious issue entangled with the nation's evolving national identity.
