Immigration is one of the fundamental processes of American history. It has played a major role in making the country what it is, providing generation after generation seeking a better life: the “American Dream.” However, resistance to that pattern has also marked the American experience.
This presentation places immigration in a historical setting and explores the attitudes and political acts that have shaped our country’s approach to immigration, and the ways we have both encouraged and objected to it.
