How Many Is Too Many?: The Progressive Argument for Reducing Immigration into the United States (Chicago Studies in American Pol,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the stony streets of Boston to the rail lines of California, from General Relativity to Google, one of the surest truths of our history is the fact that America has been built by immigrants. The phrase itself has become a steadfast campaign line, a motto of optimism and good will, and indeed it is the rallying cry for progressives today who fight against tightening our borders. This is all well and good, Philip Cafaro thinks, for the America of the pastteeming with resources, opportunities, and wide open spacesbut America isnt as young as it used to be, and the fact of the matter is we cant afford to take in millions of people anymore. Weve all heard this argument before, and one might think Cafaro is toeing the conservative line, but heres the thing: hes not conservative, not by a long shot. Hes as progressive as they come, and its progressives at whom he aims with this books startling message: massive immigration simply isnt consistent with progressive ideals.Cafaro roots his argument in human rights, equality, economic security, and environmental sustainabilityhallmark progressive values. He shows us the undeniable realities of mass migration to which we have turned a blind eye: how flooded labor markets in sectors such as meatpacking and construction have driven down workers wages and driven up inequality; how excessive immigration has fostered unsafe working conditions and political disempowerment; how it has stalled our economic maturity by keeping us everfocused on increasing consumption and growth; and how it has caused our cities and suburbs to sprawl far and wide, destroying natural habitats, driving other species from the landscape, and cutting us off from nature.In response to these hardhitting truths, Cafaro lays out a comprehensive plan for immigration reform that is squarely in line with progressive political goals. He suggests that we shift enforcement efforts away from border control and toward the employers who knowingly hire illegal workers. He proposes aid and foreign policies that will help people create better lives where they are. And indeed he supports amnesty for those who have, at tremendous risk, already built their lives here. Above all, Cafaro attacks our obsession with endless material growth, offering in its place a mature vision of America, not brimming but balanced, where all the different people who constitute this great nation of immigrants can live sustainably and well, sheltered by a prudence currently in short supply in American politics.
