I’d like to thank the following individuals, all of whom were interviewed for this book and whose expertise informed my conclusions: Richard Alba, Michael Chertoff, Nicholas Eberstadt, Ross Emmett, Walter Ewing, Michael Fix, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Daniel Griswold, Ron Haskins, Steven Hayward, Kay Hymowitz, Daniel Mitchell, Dowell Myers, Seth Norton, Michael O’Hanlon, Pia Orrenius, Jeffrey Passel, Giovanni Peri, Tom Ridge, Simon Rosenberg, Peter Salins, Bernd Schwieren, Jeremy Shapiro, and Richard Vedder.

Stuart Anderson has spent countless hours explaining (and re-explaining) the intricacies of U.S. immigration law to me, and he’s always done it with grace and good humor. Veteran opinion journalists Fred Barnes, Michael Barone, Linda Chavez, Tamar Jacoby, and Michael Medved also have been very generous with their time.

A final note of thanks goes to my editors Brett Valley and Patrick Mulligan at at Gotham; and to my agent, Emma Parry, whose hard bargaining and gentle hand-holding brought this book to fruition.
