Insanity And The Immigration Law is a book written by Thomas William Salmon, first published in 1911. The book explores the intersection of mental illness and immigration law in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. It examines the legal and medical criteria for determining insanity and how these criteria were applied to immigrants seeking entry into the country. Salmon argues that the immigration laws of the time were overly restrictive and discriminatory, particularly towards those with mental health issues. He also critiques the medical profession's role in determining who was deemed ""insane"" and the potential for abuse in the evaluation process. The book provides a historical perspective on the treatment of immigrants with mental illness and raises important questions about the fairness and equity of immigration policies. Overall, Insanity And The Immigration Law offers a thought-provoking analysis of a critical issue in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
