Leader John F. Kennedy’s final book, A Country of Immigrants, is definitely a most worthwhile and relevant contribution to the contemporary debate on immigration reform.

“This book ought to be read by every politician involved in the immigration argument, and by every resident interested in the current immigration controversy….” (OnTheIssues.org)

Throughout his presidency, John F. Kennedy was interested in the problem of immigration reform. He believed that America is a nation of individuals who value both tradition about A Nation of Immigrants and the exploration of fresh frontiers, people who are worthy of the freedom to build better lives for themselves in their used homeland. This contemporary model of his posthumously released, timeless function – with an intro by Senator Edward M. Kennedy and a foreword by Abraham H. Foxman, national director from the Anti-Defamation League – offers the late president’s inspiring suggestions for immigration policy and presents a chronology of the main events in the history of immigration in America.

As debates on immigration continue to engulf the nation, this tribute to the need for immigrants to our nation’s prominence and success is as timely as ever.
