From the foregoing pages, it will be seen that there has grown up in the United States a considerable body of laws relating to the immigrant, both before and after his admission into the country. Yet if it is permissible here to express a hope, it is that the full import of both immigration and naturalization laws may be better understood by both natives and aliens in the future, than in the past, and that the present restrictive legislation will not occasion on the part of any part of any group, absurd feelings of racial superiority. BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR PART I So many books have been written on various aspects of immigration in the United States that no attempt at a complete bibliography is made here. The list given is sufficiently varied to enable the student to gain a wide knowledge of the subject. More extended references may be secured from a number of the books mentioned. Periodical literature on the subject is so voluminous that it is not included here. References may be obtained from library lists. Annual Reports of the Commissioner of Immigration.
