"No Human is an Alien to Me" Immigration in U.S. History

Presented by Hamish Lutris 
Associate Professor of History, Political Science, and Geography at Capital Community College in Hartford, Connecticut. 

Immigration is one of the fundamental processes of American history. It has played a major role in making the country what it is, providing generation after generation seeking a better life, the “American Dream,” however that has been defined by millions of immigrants and their descendants. However, resistance to that pattern has also marked the American experience.

​This presentation places immigration in a historical setting, and explores the attitudes and political acts that have shaped our country’s approach to immigration, and the ways we have both encouraged and objected to it.
