Includes bibliographical references and index.A brief history of 20th century immigration -- Do immigrants adversely impact the American economy? -- Do immigrants worsen crime? -- Do immigrants threaten American culture and values? -- Is there room for new immigrants in 20th century America?"Immigration has been a controversial topic throughout American history.

Unbroken chains : the hidden role of human trafficking in the American economy / by Ditmore, Melissa Hope,author.(CARDINAL)867127;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-211) and index."An urgent exposition of the pervasive human trafficking that lies just beneath the surface of the US economy--from the stories of its survivors. The years of the COVID-19 pandemic have brought to light the exploitation of workers. In this moment of heightened visibility, Unbroken Chains demands that readers examine the hidden sector of American trafficked labor and understand its prevalence across our economy. Drawing from nearly two decades of research on US and international human trafficking, Melissa Hope Ditmore sets forth the harrowing stories of human trafficking survivors and grounds their accounts in the long history of US indentured servitude, looking to its iterations in chattel slavery, Chinese contract labor, and prison labor. In this groundbreaking investigation of American trafficking, Ditmore unveils the unnerving reality that forced labor permeates many industries beyond sex work: in almost every aspect of consumption, people who create our everyday necessities are working amid inescapable exploitation, often without pay. Unbroken Chains tells these workers' stories: They are nannies for New York City's diplomatic elites and door-to-door magazine salespeople in the American South. A trafficked person may have harvested your produce, sewn your clothes, or cleaned your apartment lobby. Ditmore offers readers an illuminating window on the world of forced labor, which exists within our own, and a road map for participating in its destruction. Unbroken Chains will include more than a dozen images, including detailed maps, archival pictures, and trafficking documents. Among these images are a modern map of the Sonoran Desert in the American Southwest, a bill of sale for an enslaved woman forced into sex work, letters from men in compulsory plantation labor after the Civil War, and 19th-century "white slave" panic propaganda." -
