Riassunto

"Immigration Restriction: A Study of the Opposition to and Regulation of Immigration Into the United States" offers a comprehensive historical analysis of the legislative and social forces that shaped American immigration policy from the colonial era through the early twentieth century. Roy Lawrence Garis provides an in-depth exploration of the various arguments and movements that sought to limit or regulate the flow of newcomers to American shores. The work meticulously details the development of federal laws, including the landmark immigration acts of the 1920s, and examines the economic, social, and political motivations behind these restrictive measures.

Through an objective lens, Garis evaluates the shifting attitudes toward different ethnic and national groups, shedding light on the complexities of American identity and the perceived impact of mass migration on the nation's infrastructure and cultural fabric. This study serves as a vital resource for understanding the roots of modern immigration debate and the historical precedents for border control and naturalization standards. It is an essential read for students of history, political science, and sociology interested in how the United States has balanced its tradition as a land of opportunity with the pressures of internal regulation and national preservation.
