Four False Alarms and Two Beams of Light. Review Essay.

Fuchs, Lawrence H.

International Migration Review, v30 n2 p591-600 Sum 1996

The alarmist tone of four of these books is consistent with the surging anti-immigration sentiment of the mid-1990s. None is a serious effort to analyze the complex effects of immigration in the United States. The other two books reviewed present thoughtful and carefully researched examinations of immigration questions. (SLD)
