- Description
-
Among the most tumultuous conflicts of modern America is the war over legal and undocumented immigrants currently residing within U.S. borders. Since the passing of the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act, America has witnessed an unprecedented flow of immigrants onto its shores, with increased diversity of race and culture. Battleground: Immigration examines the most critical issues surrounding immigration today, including effects on the economy, education, and employment, as well as the viability of the foreign-born in American society. All sides of the immigration debate are explored in this comprehensive 2-volume set, with special weight given to the very specific issues that have arisen in post-9/11 America: homeland security and border control, 9/11's impact on legislation and civil liberties; the Department of Homeland security and its role in border control; transnational organized crime, human smuggling and trafficking; and post 9/11 border control and security impact on immigration. With direct ties to the curriculum, this set is a valuable resource for students of sociology, current events, American history, political science, ethnic studies, and public policy.

"The very informative introduction lays a framework and provides a concise overview of how immigration issues have come to the forefront of debate in the US. Though the introduction takes a liberal viewpoint, the topical essays offer pro-con views and objective analysis. Within the various sections, readers will find sidebars that aim to inform and enliven the discussion; at the end of the sections is a reference list for further reading. Volume 1 covers topics from A to L and volume 2, M-Z. Both volumes have the same table of contents and guide to related topics, with the index in the back of volume 2. Overall this set is a good starting point for understanding and researching current immigration topics. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through faculty/researchers.'
