Unintended Consequences: The Story of Irish Immigration to the U.S. and How America’s Door was Closed to the Irish
Description:
Unintended Consequences reveals how America's door closed on legal Irish immigration in the 1960s, and how America's Irish mounted a counterattack when nation-changing political forces were sweeping the country during the era of civil rights, political assassinations, and the Vietnam War. This book looks at the full historical background to Irish migration across the Atlantic, and how the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 brought a near total halt to this westward flow. Successive organisations championed the undocumented Irish, and the fight continues to this day, but this is a new America, where, in recent years, there has been growing hostility to immigrants of every nationality. Ray O'Hanlon has spent over three decades reporting on battles over comprehensive U.S. immigration reform, and this Unintended Consequences is the story of the Irish past, its present, and most uncertain future in the 'land of the free'.
