The Promised Land: Exploring U.S. Immigration Policy

This program, narrated by Tom Brokaw, addresses the issue of U.S. immigration policy by telling the dramatic story of The Golden Venture; a Chinese ship that ran aground off the Statue of Liberty and resulted in hundreds of Chinese immigrants swimming for American shores in an effort to become citizens. The program looks into the tough question regarding striking a balance between offering those who needed political asylum, versus protecting the integrity of American borders.
