Chapter Ten

Chapter Ten deals primarily with discrimination not felt by a specific group of people as in previous chapters but, negative feelings felt toward immigration as a whole.The aspect of this chapter that I found disturbing was the sheer amount of racism behind all the anti immigration legislation, I was also shocked by the type of people who voted, or created racist movements, they were the nations most highly educated and powerful individuals. In this chapter I was also interested in when the anti-immigration would occur, the book states that it would occur when economic downturns would occur and working men would fear for their financial stability.While reading the chapter I was shocked to discover that working men who would foster anti immigrant sentiment were in fact the children of immigrants or even immigrants themselves. This made me so sad that people did not have the empathy one would think.
