For decades, fixing the United States’ broken immigration
system has been one of the most urgent challenges facing our
country, and time and time again, politicians have passed
the buck. With anti-immigrant sentiment rising around the
country, as evidenced by the passage of a controversial new
law in Arizona, it is now more important than ever to
remember the role immigrants play in enriching our economy
and culture, and to find a way to incorporate the millions
of productive, law-abiding workers who have been drawn to
the United States by the inexorable pull of freedom and
economic opportunity. No longer should they be forced to
work in the shadows, with no hope for equal rights as
American citizens. In this timely book, award-winning journalist Jorge Ramos
makes the case for a practical and politically achievable
solution to this emotional issue. Ramos argues that we have
a simple choice: to take a pragmatic approach that deals
with the reality of immigration, or to continue a cruel and
capricious system that doesn’t work, wastes billions of
dollars, and which stands in direct opposition to our
national principles.
