They Who Knock at Our Gates

They Who Knock at Our Gates
They Who Knock at Our Gates, written by Mary Antin in 1914, addresses the complex issues surrounding immigration in the United States during a time of significant influx. Antin poses three critical questions regarding the ethics of immigration restrictions, the characteristics of new immigrants, and the subjective nature of interpreting their impact on society. Her work remains relevant today, offering insights into the ongoing debates about immigration policy and national identity.
