Title: Don't send us your huddled masses. Author: Somers P, Gordy S. Journal: Curr World Lead; 1995 Apr; 38(2):35-44. PubMed ID: 12291892. Abstract: "The notion of the United States as ¿the mother of exiles' is an illusion, a legend perpetuated during an era when cheap immigrant labor was necessary to fuel the development of the country. The truth is that immigrants have been shunned for much of our history, tolerated only because their semiskilled labor was needed. Immigrant bashing was common, especially during times of economic distress. This article details the history of U.S. immigration and squarely places the current nativist sentiments in perspective."[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
