| Summary |
"This book is a ... study of how restrictionists and anti-restrictionists alike have influenced the process of immigration reform since the rise of a gate-keeping nation at the end of the nineteenth century. It provides a single ... story about how the dynamics of immigration reform have made the acceptance of restriction possible.
