Description
Donald Dobkin decided to write a book on immigration in the belief that the American public has not been getting the true story about our immigration system. Misconceptions and misinformation rule the day. Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City has described America's immigration policy as the greatest case of national suicide ever seen. But the US is no longer the only game in town. We need to get off of our arrogant pedestal. America's hard line toward immigration has sent applicants fleeing to other countries. India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK have benefited enormously from this flight. The economic consequences of this policy have been severe.
As Dobkin details in these chapters, the US has stumbled its way toward impending disasters:
รข€¢ The economic peril of quasi-closed borders
รข€¢ The myths of purported national security imperatives
รข€¢ The brain-drain: exclusion of foreign best and brightest minds
รข€¢ The Rise of the Administrative State: US largest actual branch of government
รข€¢ The strangulation of legal immigration
Behind the Green Card is a startlingly frank expose of cynical political interests, economic manipulation and outright racism run amok. Written in common-sense, straightforward style, the book is for readers across the board of interests: politicos, social advocates, policy students, current events readers.
