Crowded Land of Liberty: Solving America's Immigration Crisis"Crowded Land of Liberty examines both the dimensions and the characteristics of this unprecedented growth in immigration, and how it developed into a crisis contributing to overcrowded schools, soaring demand for social services, new burdens on taxpayers, increased urban congestion and environmental harm, and heightened job competition. This has been magnified as the proportion of immigrants increased from Latin America, with their generally lower economic and educational levels."--BOOK JACKET. |
