Clark's narrative covers the hysteria surrounding immigration during the interwar period—specifically from 1920 to 1930. Topics covering the causes of deportation, the alleged immorality and criminality of immigrants, public charges, laws and legislation, and the deportation procedure are covered in this book. The book is broken up into three main sections: "Legislation Concerning Deportation", "Deportation Law and Its Interpretation", and "Deportation Law and Its Administration". Clark's goal for this study was to attempt to explain why and how people were deported from the United States to Europe. Clark accomplishes this goal through the study and analysis of material found in statutes, legal decisions, and immigration case files alongside other archival sources.

Throughout the book, there are stamps indicating that it belongs to the Lawrence Public Library, along with the imprint located on the spine. Clark's book was rebound for the Lawrence Public Library in Waltham, Massachusetts in June of 1941 by Wells Bindery, as indicated by the stamp found in the back of the book on the same page where check-out information is found.
