Description

Concerned about foreigners not learning English and taking our jobs? Benjamin Franklin was too. Back in 1753, he feared Pennsylvania was being overrun by Germans. Similar things have been said over the last 250 years about the Irish, the Italians, the Jews and the Chinese, among others. Vincent Rossi offers an overview of the history of immigration illustrated with photos and documents drawn from his research into both American history and his own Italian-immigrant roots.
