Roger Daniels, PhD Biography
- Title:
- Charles Phelps Taft Professor Emeritus of History of Modern United States, Immigration, and Asian Americans at the University of Cincinnati
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should the Government Allow Immigrants Who Are Here Illegally to Become US Citizens?"
- Reasoning:
-
“In the final analysis, IRCA was not ‘reform legislation’ in either the original or the contemporary meaning of the term. Nor was it, as has been claimed, a measure that would reduce immigration. It was clearly a failure administratively, but in human terms, it gave some 3 million human beings [unauthorized aliens] a better chance for a successful life.”
