Specificatii
Historians have long assumed that immigration to the United States
was free from regulation until anti-Asian racism on the West Coast
triggered the introduction of federal laws to restrict Chinese
immigration in the 1880s. Studies of European immigration and
government control on the East Coast have, meanwhile, focused on
Ellis Island, which opened in 1892. In this groundbreaking work,
Hidetaka Hirota reinterprets the origins of immigration restriction
in the United States, especially deportation policy, offering the
first sustained study of immigration control conducted by states
prior to the introduction of federal immigration law. Faced with
the influx of impoverished Irish immigrants over the first half of
the nineteenth century, nativists in New York and Massachusetts
built upon colonial poor laws to develop policies for prohibiting
the landing of destitute foreigners and deporting those already
resident to Europe, Canada, or other American states. These
policies laid the foundations for federal immigration law. By
investigating state officials' practices of illegal removal,
including the overseas deportation of citizens, this book reveals
how the state-level treatment of destitute immigrants set
precedents for the use of unrestricted power against undesirable
aliens. It also traces the transnational lives of the migrants from
their initial departure from Ireland and passage to North America
through their expulsion from the United States and postdeportation
lives in Europe, showing how American deportation policy operated
as part of the broader exclusion of nonproducing members from
societies in the Atlantic world. By locating the roots of American
immigration control in cultural prejudice against the Irish and,
more essentially, economic concerns about their poverty in
nineteenth-century New York and Massachusetts, Expelling the Poor
fundamentally revises the history of American immigration policy.
