Immigration

by New York Times Editorial Staff

Overview

Attitudes toward immigration have shifted over time, depending on political attitudes, the state of the economy, international conflict, and societal attitudes toward specific ethnic groups. This fascinating collection compiles articles that reflect the diverse and changing perspectives the public has held on immigration policy and immigrant groups over the decades. Today's reader will find that the passionate rhetoric making headlines today is not new, and in fact, with each generation, voices on both sides of the aisle have demanded change, be it tighter regulations or an ease on restrictions.
