From Open Door to Dutch Door An Analysis of U.S. Immigration Policy Since 1820

From Open Door to Dutch Door details current policy and its shortcomings. In addition, the book describes the four distinct phases of U.S. immigration policy since 1820, why these shifts occurred, and their impact on decisions being made today. Written in a clear and readable style, the book combines a historical approach with an assessment of a timely and topical area of public policy.LeMay, Michael C. is the author of 'From Open Door to Dutch Door An Analysis of U.S. Immigration Policy Since 1820' with ISBN 9780275924928 and ISBN 0275924920.
