"Immigration Man" is a song recorded by David Crosby and Graham Nash as a duo, from 1972. It was released as a single and was also the closing track on Crosby and Nash's first duo album, Graham Nash David Crosby.
Nash wrote "Immigration Man" about an unfortunate moment he had with a U.S. Customs official when he tried to enter the country. The customs official held him up interminably, and soon people started coming up to Nash for his autograph. When that happened, Nash was allowed to go through, but he remained angry with the treatment he received.

Famous quotes containing the words immigration and/or man:
“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations. I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Any man who does not accept the conditions of life sells his soul.”
