A Nation of Immigrants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Nation of Immigrants was written by President John F. Kennedy in 1958. After calling on Congress to undertake a full reevaluation of immigration law during his Presidency, he began to revise the book for further publication. He was assassinated before completing the revision, but the book was nevertheless posthumously published in 1964 with an introduction by his brother Robert F. Kennedy.
The book contains a short history of immigration in the United States beginning in colonial America, an analysis of the importance immigration has played in American history, and John Kennedy's proposals for the liberalization of immigration law.
