The Immigration Solution

Reviews / Votes

The Immigration Solution is a cogent analysis of our illegal immigration crisis and the public policy choices facing America. This book is a critically important read for our elected officials and the citizens they should be representing. -- Lou Dobbs The Immigration Solultion is not just another book about the catastrophe caused by millions of illegal aliens flooding our country; it is a call to arms combined with an outline for a sensible immigration policy. If every member of Congress would read this book, we might be able to begin the process of securing our borders and reducing the number of illegal immigrants within them. -- Thomas Tancredo, United States Congressman from Colorado In this book, the writers from City Journal again show why that magazine is so indispensible. Having helped change conventional wisdom on the urban problems of crime and welfare, they have now taken a hard look at an issue even more suffused with sentimentality and cliche. The Immigration Solution is essential reading for anyone seeking to develop an informed opinion on this vital national issue. -- Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies The divise debate over immigration is going to continue for some time to come. MacDonald, Malanga, and Hanson lucidly present their concerns over the current direction of immigration policy and offer more than a few suggestions for change. Even if you disagree with their preferred policy changes, their suggestions are serious, provocative, and worthy of careful thought - and, regardless of your ideological background, you might actually find yourself nodding more than a few times as your read through the book. -- Dr. George Borjas, Robert W. Scrivner Professor of Economics and Social Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and the author The Immigration Solution demolishes open-borders myths and provides a clear, sane path toward an immigration plan that benefits America and adheres to the rule of law. Heather Mac Donald, Victor Davis Hanson, and Steven Malanga battle muddled amnesty advocates with impeccable logic, facts, and principle. This book is not just a must-read. It's a must-do. -- Michelle Malkin, author of Invasion The Immigration Solution is an excellent new book that discusses illegal immigration without the political rhetoric, spin, demagoguery, and unsubstantiated claims that have become all too common in the media and among politicians.

It was written by three scholars at leading think tanks - Heather Mac Donald and Steve Malanga of the Manhatten Institute and Victor Davis Hanson of The Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Unlike many other scholars, they know how to write so that the general public can understand what they are saying. -- Thomas Sowell, Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University * RealClearPolitics * Recommended for both high school and college-level classroom debate. * Midwest Book Review * Excellent summary of the state of economic, sociological and historical play in the immigration debate. -- Peter Brimelow An excellent new book that discusses illegal immigration without...political rhetoric [and] spin. -- Thomas Sowell, Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University * The Washington Times * Certain to kick up some dust. -- Larry Cox * Shelf Life *
