American Immigration

United States. Cong. House Judiciary. American Immigration. By Daniel J. Tichenor. 110 Cong., 1st sess. Cong. Doc. MasterFILE Premier, 2007. Print.

This report given to the U.S Congress by Daniel J. Tichenor, is a secondary source that gives some current perspective to historical immigration reform. It talks about the people that went through Ellis Island and the fears that people had about letting Europeans enter their country at the time. It talks about how the Immigration Act of 1924 restricted the immigration of Europeans and Asians but allowed the borders of Mexico and Canada to remain open. Something that has created problems for Americans today.
