In Debating American Immigration, 1882-Present, prominent historians Roger Daniels and Otis Graham offer competing interpretations of the past, present, and future of American immigration policy and American attitudes towards immigration. Through original essays and supporting primary documents, the authors provide recommendations for future policies and legal remedies. This compact and clearly written text is an excellent introduction to one of today's most emotionally charged issues.

"The essays are lively reading. This is an outstanding volume that fulfills its objectives. It is a successful way of presenting the two sides of the immigration debate over the past 120 years. It leaves it to the reader to decide on which side, or where in between, he or she stands." - H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online

"The book is manageable, judicious, and thoughtful, with clearly written essays and short, relevant documents. In the hands of a skilled teacher, it can be a wonderful tool in stimulating debate and enabling students to look at controversial issue from many different angles. Two thumbs up!" - Journal of American Ethnic History
