Despite rhetoric that suggests that the United States opens its doors to virtually anyone who wants to go there; immigration has been restricted since the nation began. Kevin R. Johnson argues that immigration policy reflects the social hierarchy that prevails in American society as a whole and that immigration reform is intertwined with the struggle for civil rights. disabilities; the poor; political dissidents and other disfavoured groups; the text shows how bias shapes the law. In the 19th century; for example; virulent anti-Asian bias excluded would-be immigrants from China and severely restricted those from Japan. In our time; people fleeing persecution and poverty in Haiti generally have been treated much differently from those fleeing Cuba. Johnson further argues that although domestic minorities (whether citizens or lawful immigrants) enjoy legal protections and might even be courted by politicians; they are regarded as subordinate groups and suffer discrimination. This publication has particular resonance today as the public debates the uncertain status of immigrants from Arab countries and of the Muslim faith.

They were greatly surprised when at the shipyard they saw the shipyard workers cleaning it wearing protective gear and getting special pay; things the submarine crew did not receive . . . .David AdamsMobile0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

THE THOUGHTS OF THESE MEN AS THEY LIVE THRU THEIR EXPERIENCE. THE ITEMS THAT MAKES ONE SMILE TO THE THOUGHTS OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO HEAR THE ANGRY REPLY OF JAP PATROL BOATS AND DESTROYERS. THIS BOOK DIFFERS FROM A TYPICAL SUBMARINE NOVEL IN THAT THEIR IS MORE TALKED ABOUT THAN THE TYPICAL CAPTAIN AND THE EXEC. IT INCLUDES THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN BAKING THE TASTY GOODS THAT ENABLES ONE TO FIGHT A WAR. IT INCLUDES THE ELECTRICIAN IN THE MANEUVERING ROOM.
