Americans are fond of saying we are an immigrant nation.  Indeed, diversity is one of our greatest strengths.  Yet, we have not always been accommodating to immigrants during the course of our history.  This seminar/lecture explores the ways in which the federal government has eased the transition from immigrant to citizen, the strategies of immigrants themselves to become a part of American society, and the resistance to immigration.  I will also discuss the current debate over immigration and pending legislation, and the demographic changes that are occurring as a result of immigration, and their political implications.

美国人喜欢说我们是一个移民国家。确实，多样性是我们最大的优势之一。然而，历史上，我们并非一直乐于为移民提供帮助。本次研讨会/讲座将探讨联邦政府采取了哪些措施来减少对移民转为公民的限制，移民自身融入美国社会的策略，以及对移民的抵制。讲座还将讨论目前对移民和待定法案的辩论，以及移民带来的人口学变化及其政治影响。
