This innovative work provides both a historical account of the crazy-quilt of legislation dealing with immigration that Congress has passed over the years and a theoretical explanation, building on the "new institutionalism," of how these laws came to be passed. The author shows why immigration is a uniquely revealing policy arena in which a polity chooses what it will be, a collective decision that shapes a nation's identity and defines itself. The book focuses on three aspects of immigration policy: the regulation of admission to the United States for permanent residency, the regulation of admission of people fleeing political repression, and the efforts to cope with the flow of unsanctioned migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border. It identifies the most puzzling features of contemporary immigration policy, asking, Where do these policies come from? Why do they have their special characteristics? The author seeks the answers in modern theories of public policy formation, especially the currently popular new institutionalism. He offers an enhanced version of this approach, which he calls "improvisational institutionalism," and applies it to the paradoxes of immigration policy.

Face, heart, and soul make up the human body. Face of a Nation discusses the physical and internal aspects our governing body is composed of. It uses several political philosophers and philanthropists to give each conversation unbiased retrospect. We are the Face! Although some of us have said ""I am Conservative,"" while others have said ""I am Liberal,"" both sides have our unconscious faces about us. George Lakoff speaks of this in his work Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think, one of the novels noted in this thesis of the American scheme.
