This is the first comprehensive study of how U. S. immigration policies have shaped-demographically, economically, and socially-the six largest Asian American communities.

This quick-reference work cuts through the legal and procedural complexities of immigration law and explains key provisions and requirements in easy-to-understand language.

Considers immigration in the context of the global and national economy, examining such often-overlooked issues as the competition between immigrants and African Americans, inter-group tension, and ethnic separatism.

Examines the relationship between NAFTA, globalization, and undocumented migration, and considers the policy options for controlling immigration. This book develops an ethical rationale for opening up the US/Mexican border, as well as improving conditions in Mexico so that its citizens would have little incentive to migrate.

Reviews US immigration policies by pointing to the racial, ethnic, and social struggles over who should be welcomed into the community of citizens. This book shows how shifting visions of America have shaped policies governing asylum, exclusion, amnesty, and border policing.
