The book explores the evolution of American immigration policies from the 1850s to the restrictive Immigration Act of 1923, highlighting the rise of xenophobic groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the Eugenics movement. It delves into various forms of nativism and biases against specific immigrant groups, including Jewish, German, and Italian communities. Key legislative milestones, such as the Immigration Acts of 1875, 1891, and 1924, are examined alongside significant investigations and agreements that shaped the immigrant experience in the U.S.
