About this ebook
In June 2012, President Obama’s executive order enforcing parts of the Dream Act and the Supreme Court’s decision to block components of Arizona’s draconian immigration law propelled the immigration debate back into the headlines once again. Based on oral histories, individual testimonies, and years of research into the lives of ordinary migrants, Living Illegal” offers richly textured stories that often get lost in the rhetoric” (Gainesville Sun)of real people working, building families, and enriching their communities even as the political climate has grown increasingly hostile.
Moving far beyond stock images and conventional explanations, Living Illegal” challenges our assumptions about why immigrants come to the United States, where they settle, and how they have adapted to the often confusing patchwork of local immigration ordinances. This revealing narrative takes us into Southern churches, onto the streets of major American cities, into the fields of Florida, and back and forth across different national boundariesfrom Brazil to Mexico and Guatemala.
A new preface by the authors frames these stories in light of recent policy developments, as well as the 2012 elections and possible shifts ahead. An unmistakably relevant, deeply humane book, Living Illegal” will continue to stand as an authoritative guide as we address one of the most pressing issues of our time.
