I glad someone has finally pointed out that America was a very different place during the previous great immigration. and look forward to reading the book.  For all the heat and light generated by the subject, I find it peculiar that no one seemed to have noticed that Mexico is a huge importer of oil to the US, eclipsing Saudi Arabia in some years (currently Mexico is #3, the Saudis #2). This fact alone helps explain our government's apparent unwillingness to deal with the issues in any rational way. The government's chart is publicly available via Energy Information Administration's website.

Several typos and instances of faulty syntax for an article in a journal with such a title.  Nevertheless, Bynum's review does get at a number of key points.  One subject it does not address is why we haven't built a fence along our southern border.
