Whom We Shall Welcome: Report of the President's Commission on Immigration and Naturalization

Published in 1953, 'Whom We Shall Welcome' is the report of the President's Commission on Immigration and Naturalization, established by President Truman to evaluate U.S. immigration policies following the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. The report presents recommendations aimed at aligning immigration policy with the nation's economic and security interests. It reflects the attitudes and language of its time, including terms that are now considered outdated and culturally insensitive. This report ultimately influenced immigration policy until it was superseded by new legislation in 1965.
