Beasley in her introduction to this timely book. As the nations ceremonial as well as political leader, presidents through their rhetoric help to create the frame for the American publics understanding of immigration. In an overarching essay and ten case studies, Who Belongs in America? Explores select moments in . immigration history, focusing on the presidential discourse that preceded, address, or otherwise corresponded to events. These chapters, which originated as presentations at the Texas AM University Conference on Presidential Rhetoric, share a common interest in how, when and under what circumstances . presidents or their administrations have negotiated the tension that lies at the heart of the immigration issue in the United States. The various authors look at the dual views of immigrants as either scapegoats for cultural fears, especially during trying times. . presidents have had to navigate between these two motifs, and they have chosen different ways to do so. Indeed, as these studies show, their words have sometimes been at odds with their deeds and policies. Since 9/11, few issues have more public significance than how America views immigrants.
