Wong offers a fascinating analysis of American immigration policy over the last quarter century. Where other social scientists have been divided into two rather hermetically sealed camps, Wong bridges issues of class and identity in innovative ways. The result is a subtle and original account of the vicissitudes of American immigration policy that will be of great interest to scholars working on both sides of the class-identity divide. Political scientists, sociologists, and historians will find much that is new here; we will all have to rethink some of our most basic assumptions concerning the forces shaping immigration policy in the United States. --Victoria Hattam, The New School for Social Research

Wong's book is a must-read for anyone interested in the legislative politics of immigration policy. Her original application of the concepts of human and civil rights, family interests, and cultural diversity as frames of discourse to expand the support for immigration policy is a major contribution. --Luis Fraga, Stanford University
