Charting the history of U.S. immigration policy and public reaction to newcomers from the Puritan colonists to World War II refugees, Unwelcome Strangers uncovers the heated arguments of the anti-immigration forces: environmental groups that warn against the consequences of overpopulation, economic concerns that immigrants take jobs away from Americans, and assimilationist fears that newcomers -- especially from Latin America, and Asia -- threaten American culture.
