Inhaltsangabe

Immigration unfolds as a defining American question, offering both challenge and opportunity for readers.

Aliens or Americans? examines who comes to the United States, where they come from, and what happens next. This nonfiction study surveys immigrant groups, from Slovaks and Magyars to Ruthenians and Lithuanians, and what their arrival means for American life, work, and faith. It looks at neighborhoods, schools, and churches, and argues that the future of American society depends on how newcomers are welcomed and integrated.

The book combines social observation with calls for responsible action—emphasizing education, naturalization, and Christian outreach as pathways to Americanization. It invites readers to consider immigration not just as a policy issue, but as a moral and civic opportunity for a nation built on liberty and opportunity.
