First published: May 8, 2006
Description: As globalization and terrorism intensify the pressure to close America's doors, this provocative book argues that to do so would be catastrophic. “America keeps getting immigration wrong because we only look at half of the story: we focus so hard on immigrants that we forget about our own role in shaping how people come here and how well they fit in…We exaggerate the differences between our immigrant ancestors and today’s immigrants because it is a convenient mask for our own failings.” – quotation from back cover.
