O knihe

2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1965 a landmark decision that made the United State the diverse nation it is today. The INA s importance and impact on the country at rivals that of the Civil and Voting Rights Acts of 1964, that have been celebrated, analyzed and extolled by books and events throughout the country this year. In The Law that Changed the Face of America, Congressional journalist and immigration expert Margaret Sands Orchowski delivers a never before told story of how immigration laws have moved in constant flux and revision throughout our nation s history. The book uses interviews and historical research to narrate without agenda the personal stories and incentives of those who shaped and fought for the INA. Exploring the changing immigration environment of the 21st century, Orchowski discusses globalization, technology, terrorism, economic recession, and the expectations of the millennials. She also addresses the ever present U.S. debate about the roles of the various branches of government in immigration; and the often competitive interests between those who want to immigrate into the U.S and the changing interests, values, ability, and right of our sovereign nation states to choose and welcome those immigrants who will best advance the country."
