Summary:
The number of legal immigrants accelerated in the 1990s to an average of more than a million a year. That was up from just over 300,000 a year in the 1960s and 600,000 a yr by the 1980s. When the amount of illegal immigrants is usually put into this, the total inflow during the 1990s was around 12 million. That compares with 500,000 in the 1930s.
Congested Land of Liberty examines how this progressed into a crisis adding to overcrowded schools, soaring demand for sociable services, brand-new burdens on taxpayers, increased urban congestion, and heightened job competition. The author explains how recent waves of immigration differ from those of previously eras, and he explores brand-new public plan alternatives.
