Immigration is the main focus of this research paper. It is stated that today there are some who believe that allowing too many immigrants into the country with alter our society and in an essence America will lose what it is to be American. The opposing view, however, focuses on the notion that America was formed by a group of ‘immigrants’ and that immigration is the very foundation of what constitutes being an American. For those who adhere to the notion that immigration is the center of our society, the question then comes, when did it change? When did immigration stop being a key to our nation’s success, and start becoming an issue? Hiroshi Motomura in his book, Americans in Waiting, that was discussed in details, attempts to answer these questions and to demonstrate how this decline, in America’s view and treatment of immigration, has actually created the issues now faced. In his writing he takes his readers back, to a hundred and fifty year long span, where immigration was considered essential to the American way of life. After taking a look at the summary of this writing, the analysis of the three typologies he outlined for citizenship, and evaluating the importance of citizenship for immigration policies, it seems clear that a real issue with today’s immigration does, have a direct relationship with how immigrants are assimilated into society. Motomura’s use of US history, coupled with case studies demonstrates when this problem began to arise, and how it has affected the nation’s view of immigration.
