Ruth Gomberg-Munoz of Loyola University Chicago reviews Model Immigrants and Undesirable Aliens: The Cost of Immigration Reform in the 1990s. This book  is an informative and highly readable analysis of the discourse surrounding US immigration policy reforms in the mid-1990s. The central argument of this book is that debates over US immigration legislation in the 1990s must be understood as part of a broader expansion of neoliberal policy and thought in the United States. Drawing on legislative transcripts and media reports, Gerken produces a highly detailed, yet accessibly written text that should be useful to both scholars and students of US immigration politics, as well as to immigration practitioners and policy advocates.
