'They Who Knock at Our Gates: A Complete Gospel of Immigration' Summary
Mary Antin's 'They Who Knock at Our Gates' is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex subject of immigration, moving beyond the typical debates about economic and social implications. Antin frames her argument around three core questions: the legitimacy of immigration control, the character of contemporary immigration, and the potential impact of immigration on American society. She challenges readers to consider the ethical underpinnings of immigration policy, arguing that the United States has a moral obligation to welcome those seeking refuge and opportunity. Antin further examines the influx of diverse immigrants and their cultural contributions, while acknowledging the potential for social tensions and the need for successful integration. Ultimately, she advocates for a balanced and compassionate approach to immigration, recognizing the inherent value of cultural exchange while also emphasizing the importance of preserving American ideals and identity.Book Details
