In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a huge surge of immigration in the United States. Many politicians argued for more stringent immigration policies, including a literacy requirement. This book explores the arguments for and against such a policy. The author notes that one of the main arguments in favor of more stringent naturalization laws was that immigrants were not being properly assimilated into American society. They argued that immigrants were not learning English, were not adopting American customs, and were not becoming familiar with American history and government. They also argued that immigrants were bringing with them their own political and social problems, such as poverty, crime, and political radicalism. The author also notes that there were many arguments against more stringent naturalization laws. Opponents argued that such laws would be discriminatory and would prevent many worthy immigrants from becoming citizens. They also argued that such laws would not be effective in preventing the problems that proponents claimed were caused by immigration. In the end, the author concludes that the arguments against more stringent naturalization laws were more persuasive than the arguments in favor. The author argues that more stringent naturalization laws would have been discriminatory and would not have been effective in preventing the problems that proponents claimed were caused by immigration.
