This 2010 book consists of a liberal position:http://www.amazon.com/Not-Match-Our-Culture-Immigration/dp/0520259785/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280885495&sr=8-1I've just skimmed it fairly shortly, but it appeared as if a fascinating read.

Conservative and liberal... Conservative would have to be "Whatever It Takes: Illegal Immigration, Border Security and the War on Terror" by Republican Congressman J.D. Hayworth(Arizona).Summary: In Whatever It Takes, you'll learn: How many cities, and J. D. names names, actually refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement. Your city might be among them. How our law enforcement system is so bound in bureaucracy that it treats illegal aliens like fish, throwing them back into the stream of American life; they even call it "catch and release". Why illegal alien murderers and rapists walk free along our streets and how our perverse laws may actually encourage illegal alien gangs to kill(if they cross into Mexico, they won't be extradited). The Social Security lie: illegal immigrants don't support the system; they're actually hastening its downfall. How illegal immigration steals jobs from American workers and reduces their pay. The alleged "solution": a guest-worker plan that would reward lawbreakers and lead to more illegal immigration The infuriating double standards: how illegal immigrants often take advantage of health and education benefits(by law!) at the expense of American citizens. The next September 11: if we don't regain control of our borders, how can we prevent it? Whatever It Takes is a book that needed to be written, but which no one had the courage to write until J. D. Hayworth took up his pen. For every American who cares about our country, J. D. offers a vital plan to keep it safe. Few books are a must-read but Whatever It Takes is definitely one of them.http://www.amazon.com/Whatever-Takes-Illegal-Immigration-Security/dp/089526028X/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199141946&sr=1-6Most liberal viewpoints on the subject are better served in magazine and news articles; however, the book "Multicultural Citizenship: A Liberal Theory of Minority Rights" by Will Kymlicka is excellent, if a little old(1996).Summary: The increasingly multicultural fabric of modern societies has given rise to many new issues and conflicts, as ethnic and national minorities demand recognition and support for their cultural identity. This book presents a new conception of the rights and status of minority cultures. It argues that certain sorts of `collective rights' for minority cultures are consistent with liberal democratic principles, and that standard liberal objections to recognizing such rights on grounds of individual freedom, social justice, and national unity, can be answered. However, Professor Kymlicka emphasises that no single formula can be applied to all groups and that the needs and aspirations of immigrants are very different from those of indigenous peoples and national minorities. The book discusses issues such as language rights, group representation, religious education, federalism, and secession - issues which are central to understanding multicultural politics, but which have been surprisingly neglected in contemporary liberal theory.http://www.amazon.com/Multicultural-Citizenship-Liberal-Minority-Political/dp/0198290918/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199142596&sr=8-16 Sources: My opinion Brandi1leigh 72 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.
