The Immigration Problem: A Study of American Immigration Conditions and Needs is a comprehensive and influential sociological study that examines the multifaceted impact of immigration on the United States during a pivotal era of demographic change. Authored by Jeremiah W. Jenks and W. Jett Lauck, and later revised by Rufus D. Smith, this work provides a rigorous analysis of the social, economic, and political factors surrounding the movement of people into America in the early 20th century.
Drawing upon extensive research and data from the United States Immigration Commission, the book delves into critical issues such as labor market competition, urban living conditions, and the assimilation of diverse ethnic groups into American society. It explores the legislative history of immigration policy and discusses the various arguments for and against restriction, offering a clear window into the prevailing attitudes and challenges of the time. This study serves as an essential resource for understanding the historical foundations of modern migration debates and the evolution of American public policy regarding its borders. Its detailed observations on industrial life and social welfare make it a significant contribution to the fields of sociology, history, and political science.
