Immigration has been a source of American strength and exceptionalism since the nation's founding, according to Tim Kane's book "The Immigrant Superpower." This book explores how immigration is essential to the military strength, economic power, and innovation of the United States, combining stories of immigrants who have contributed to the American experience with analysis of immigration's effects on wages and unemployment. Kane presents a clear defense of greater immigration as a matter of national security, arguing that the only way to win the great power competition of the twenty-first century is to embrace America's identity as a nation of immigrants.

Politicians in Washington continue to negotiate with no intention to reach an agreement, and Kane exposes the immigration consensus hiding in plain sight. He maps out a step-by-step process to achieve reform, using original, in-depth surveys of American attitudes toward immigration reform. The Immigrant Superpower stands in sharp contrast to the wholly dysfunctional debate about immigration in the United States, offering a straight-talking and common-sense approach to the issue.
