The book examines the effects and significance of immigration on American society, tracing the characteristics and contributions of various immigrant groups to the development of the United States. It explores themes such as cultural assimilation, economic impact, and the evolving identity of the American populace in light of the influx of diverse ethnicities. The opening of the work provides a thoughtful preface, arguing against a purely humanitarian view of immigration, framing it as a complex issue that involves both the benefits to immigrants and the potential consequences for the host nation. Ross reflects on the transformative power of immigration in spreading democratic ideals globally, using anecdotes to illustrate the emotional and social stakes involved. He conveys a nuanced understanding of immigration, recognizing both the struggles faced by new arrivals and the responsibility to maintain the standards and values that define the nation. This introduction sets the tone for a deeper exploration of the many facets of immigration and its role in shaping American society.
