From Library Journal:

Colorado's Governor Lamm adds his voice to those urging the necessity for resolution of the stalemate on immigration reform. With a more impassioned and political voice than Clamor at the Gates , edited by Nathan Glazer ( LJ 5/1/85), Lamm's basic analysis and pleas for action are similar: Reforms to the immigration system are long overdue and, while not a cure-all, can be an important factor in alleviating many current social and economic imbalances and difficulties; politicians must understand that the majority of American working people favor better controls on both legal and illegal immigration to the United States. A thoughtful, provocative statement, this book will appeal to academic or general audiences with interest in this problem. Suzanne W. Wood, SUNY Agricultural & Technical Coll. Lib., Alfred

From Publishers Weekly:

With immigration-reform now before Congress, Colorado Governor Lamm and Imhoff offer a timely book that argues in favor of new restrictions for America's "uncontrolled" immigration, both legal and illegal. Unfortunately, they are wordy and repetitious, which diminishes the impact of their case. Declaring that the dream of unlimited immigration to the U.S. is now dead, they dismiss arguments in favor of mass entry and cite reasons (crime by and against immigrants; loss of jobs by current citizens; a debasing of U.S. "culture and national identity," etc.) to impose new restrictions and step up enforcement. Lamm and Imhoff, intending to sound an alarm, touch the main arguments of their positions in the national debate. November 27
