"If you are looking for a course text that provides a succinct overview of U.S. immigration policy, and the controversies surrounding it, this book is it. This text provides important historical context, a summary of current policy and its controversies, insightful political analysis of the prospects for comprehensive reform, and an in-depth examination of the political incorporation of immigrants in the contemporary era." --Ron Schmidt, California State University, Long Beach "Immigration in the 21st Century painstakingly catalogues the many proposed federal and state immigration policies since 2000 as well as the numerous contentious debates that now characterize immigration politics in the 21st century. So much has happened in the context of immigration politics over the last decade and this book offers an authoritative reference on these modern developments." --Natalie Masuoka, Tufts University
