Tomasi, Lydio F., Ed.; And Others
This volume presents viewpoints of government representatives, legal experts, economists, and private sector representatives on recommendations for reforms in U.S. immigration policy and legislation submitted to the President and to Congress by the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy. Included are: (1) a report of issues considered in formulating the Commission's recommendations; (2) how the Commission dealt with deportation and exclusion policy; (3) a personal view of the Commission's operations and shortcomings; (4) criticism of the Commission report as lacking data-based analysis and understanding of the determinants of migration to the United States; (5) critiques of recommended immigration selection and restriction procedures; and (6) analyses of the implications of the proposed changes for Federal agencies, civil liberties exponents, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, organized labor, local government, the private sector, and others. Authors include Lawrence H. Fuchs, Sam Bernsen, Peter A. Schey, Rose Matsui Ochi, John E. Nahan, Cornelius D. Scully, III, Karen M. Deasy, Austin T. Fragomen, Jr., Roger L. Conner, Lindsay Grant, David Carliner, Antonia Hernandez, Julian L. Simon, Jay Mazur, Carol Bellamy, and Grace Montanez Davis. (MJL)
