The Birth of Immigration Law in the United States

Book Description HTML

From the start, immigrants- people who left their birthplace because they were unsatisfied and unwilling to settle for the condition from which they were born occupied the western hemisphere. Filled with hope, they were tugged by the prospect of a new beginning, the lure of freedom, and an opportunity to pursue their ambitions in ways they could not have achieved in their old world. For many, America was the land of second chances for those who were willing to take a chance.
