A much-needed contribution to reference shelves on immigration

Securing the Future: US Immigrant Integration Policy is a reader filled cover to cover with critical essays by learned authors discussing the hot-button issue of immigration in modern American society. Striving to unambiguously define what policymakers and scholars mean be integration, and reveal the forms and effects of current US integration policy, Securing the Future draws upon extensive research and statistics, illustrated by black-and-white graphs, as well as scholarly insight. Individual essays include "Today's Second Generation: Getting Ahead or Falling Behind?", "Access to Health Care and Health Insurance: Immigrants and Immigration", "Educating the Children of Immigrants", "Designing an Impact Aid Program for Immigrant Settlement", and much more. A much-needed contribution to reference shelves on immigration, and an invaluable grounding of research and notable issues that deserve to be considered before embarking upon any plan for immigration reform.
