David Holmes’s Reviews > Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America > Status Update

I'm not any kind of academic, but I like to think I'm pretty well educated, and progressive, and being interested in immigration specifically, I liked to think that at this point in my life I had a pretty good idea how racist America and its immigration policies were at the turn of the 20th century, which is to say, very racist.

I was somehow wrong: US immigration policies were somehow WAY more racist than that.
