PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER The purpose of this chapter is to familiarize students with situations and concepts which motivate United States immigration law. These include, first, that the United States, due to its high standard of living and personal freedoms, is the most popular country in the world to relocate to. Second, no country, the United States included, can accommodate an unlimited number of people moving into it without compromising the quality of life for all residents, including newcomers. Third, if only a portion of prospective immigrants can be accepted, what is the basis for selecting who is accepted? Lastly, the chapter introduces an accurate and noncontroversial expression for persons in the United States illegally.
