About This Book

The author gathers statistics and contemporary observations about destitute immigration, tracing its increase and distribution and assessing its local economic, sanitary, and social effects. Separate chapters examine Jewish and Italian influxes and consider women's particular hardships, alleged competition with native labour, overcrowding, and public-health risks. Comparative law and policy in European countries, the United States, and the colonies are reviewed, and historical statutes are appended. The book weighs political and economic arguments and concludes by outlining proposed remedies and legislative measures intended to regulate and mitigate the arrival and reception of impoverished migrants.
