Immigration in the USA

Cassel, S. L. (2002). The Chinese in America A history from Gold Mountain to the new millennium. Walnut Creek, CA AltaMira Press.

The book shows the long history of Chinese immigration experience that outlines the value of the Chinese as workers. However, it also takes note of the fact that Chinese are often regarded as foreigners in America even though they have consistently contributed to the economy of the US. The particular book can be used as a guide for the value of immigrants in the US economy and their constant hope for belongingness and better living conditions.

Aguirre, A. (2003). Racial and ethnic diversity in America A reference handbook. Santa Barbara, California ABC-CLIO, Inc.

The book contains general information on a variety of immigrants who moved to the US. It also presents the social forces that have contributed to the diversity of the ethnic landscape in the country. The discussions in the book can be used in order to analyze how the multiple waves of immigrants have been affected as they contribute to the US. Likewise, it can be used to see how the society of America has changed with the increasing of diversity.

Schuck, P. (2003). Diversity in America Keeping government at a safe distance. USA Harvard College.

In this book, Schuck used arguments from different fields in order to argue that the government should learn to move away from the affairs related to the regulation of immigrants in the country. Instead of the government, the communities and the families should have the decision on whether to allow immigrants or not. The insights from the book can be used for alternatives on the immigration policy of the country.
