The New Case Against Immigration

 
Click to enlarge

It is time for the United States to reduce immigration -- both legal and illegal -- says a prominent expert on immigration policy. Mark Krikorian, himself the grandson of Armenian immigrants, is executive director of the Washington, DC-based Center for Immigration Studies. CIS research shows, he says, that America can no longer afford mass immigration. Krikorian makes the argument in his book "The New Case Against Immigration."

Every day thousands of immigrants from Central America risk their lives to ride a train -- which they call the Train of Death -- through Mexico to the United States. And an alarming number of those on the train of death are children or teenagers, seeking the parents who have gone before them. The harrowing experience of one such youngster, a boy named Enrique, is told in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sonia Nazario's book Enrique's Journey.
It was a time in America when the rich were getting obscenely rich while the poor were barely getting by. When a variety of social movements were gaining strength and influence. When waves of immigrants were threatening to overwhelm the economy and society. When a young and controversial president was determined to leave his mark on the world, not just America. It sounds like we're talking about recent news, but it's actually the early years of the 20th century being described in David Traxel's book Crusader Nation.
America's war on terror has drawn attention to a little-known aspect of U.S. immigration policy. For twenty years, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has run a secret and repressive prison system. Journalist Mark Dow got his introduction to that system several years ago, when he began a teaching job in one of the prisons. His book is, then, an attempt to expose the system that we only see a glimpse of now in the war on terror.
