Book Description:

The Dillingham Commission--created by Congress in 1907 to collect data on a perceived immigration problem--remains the largest U.S. immigration study ever conducted. Katherine Benton-Cohen shows that its Progressive formulation and recommendations endure in almost every component of immigration policy, control, and enforcement a century later.
