This Land Is Our Land: A History of American Immigration

Linda Barret Osborne

This Land Is Our Land: A History of American Immigration On one hand, the United States is the great melting pot that welcomes all immigrants to find freedom and achieve the American Dream. On the other hand, the United States has frequently limited immigration by certain groups and the populous has been unwelcoming and even fearful of immigrants. This book traces the legal and popular responses to immigrants from various groups to the United States starting in the 1800s.
