Immigration and the Next America: Renewing the Soul of Our Nation - Book on US Immigration Policy & National Identity | Perfect for Political Science Students & Policy Makers" (Note: Since the original appears to be a book title rather than a product, I've optimized it as a non-fiction book with SEO keywords and usage context for academic/political audiences.)

This treatment of immigration and legal reform concerning that issue is written from the viewpoint of a pastor. He appeals to the principles of Judaism and Christianity concerning respect and kindness towards those who, through a mixture of circumstance and personal choice, are living in a nation that was not originally their own. He sees a welcoming outlook as a constitutive element of the American ideal, and he offers support for this opinion from the writings of patriotic citizens of different epochs. Archbishop Gomez argues for a wider vision of the history of the United States, taking into account the activities of the missionaries, who were present in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and California, before the settling of the thirteen colonies. He also reflects on the experience of his own family, and those of other immigrant families he has known. It is a well-written book, and informative concerning an important issue of public policy. The author regards the specific legal framework properly settled by lawmakers, and so he limits himself to discussion of moral and political principles.
