Author: Linda Barrett Osborne

American attitudes toward immigrants are unusual. Some see our country as a place of safety for the poor and oppressed; anyone, no matter his or her background, can find freedom here and achieve the "American Dream." However, some believe that depending on economic conditions, feelings about race and ethnicity, and fear of foreign political and labor agitation, we set boundaries and restrictions on who may come into this country and whether they may stay as citizens. This trade book looks at the way government policy and popular responses to immigrant groups evolved throughout U.S. history.
