    About this ebook

    “In this timeless book, President Kennedy shows how the United States has always been enriched by the steady flow of men, women, and families to our shores. It is a reminder that America’s best leaders have embraced, not feared, the diversity which makes America great.” —Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright

    Throughout his presidency, John F. Kennedy was passionate about the issue of immigration reform. He believed that America is a nation of people who value both tradition and the exploration of new frontiers, deserving the freedom to build better lives for themselves in their adopted homeland. This 60th anniversary edition of his posthumously published, timeless work—with a foreword by Jonathan Greenblatt, the National Director and CEO of the ADL, formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League, and an introduction from Congressman Joe Kennedy III—offers President Kennedy’s inspiring words and observations on the diversity of America’s origins and the influence of immigrants on the foundation of the United States.

    The debate on immigration persists. Complete with updated resources on current policy, this new edition of A Nation of Immigrants emphasizes the importance of the collective thought and contributions to the prominence and success of the country.

      A potted history of little depth but with relevant information for anyone interested in the 2016, sound bite, election coverage that our estimable mainstream media thinks is all we are entitled to receive through them on this subject. More reading is indicated and there is a useful bibliography included. The photographs included are telling as are the quotes Mr. Kennedy included, this 1834 one in particular: "If you wish to see our whole family living in ..... a country where freedom of speech obtains, where no spies are eavesdropping, where no simpletons criticize your every word and seek to detect therein a venom that might endanger the life of the state, the church and the home, then come here." This jumped out at me because, although the times are different, I believe I detect simpletons in our midst.

      I bought this book at Half Off Books on Camelback road as a result of the recent immigration law in Arizona (SB 1070). If immigration reform being in the headlines again and me being on a recent Kennedy kick I thought it only natural to pick up this title. I found JFK's insight into this subject very informative and extremely relevant. President Kennedy pretty much sums up my ideas on Americas history and future with regards to immigration. The president points out how this country was built by immigrants and immigrants were fundamental forces in every important historical event to happen since the birth of this nation. Kennedy wrote this book as a way to spread the word about his immigration policies and I am thankful that he did because I found it to be very interesting and useful.
