Illegals is a novel about a subject that has always been very polemic. The author creates the characters trying to make them look real and human. They are all bonded by one same common situation: forgers of documents, a good lawyer, the coyotes and an immigration agent as well as the different reasons for them to be illegals, a struggle which brings them together until the end of the book. The characters and their own stories are a work of fantasy of the author, however many people may have lived similar situations or may know someone who has experienced them. In fact, many persons experience this, not only in the United States but also in other countries. Many of them were forced to leave their families and their home countries for different reasons. For those humble workers who come without any malice but with one only idea, which is to work honestly, everything is more difficult. Especially when the only arm that they have is their innocence, which sometimes they loose to become cunning in order to run away from the authorities and the people that exploit them and take advantage of their naivet.

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,7, University of Tubingen (Seminar für Englische Philologie), course: Illegality in Theory, Fiction and Film, language: English, abstract: Writers, screenwriters and directors are magicians; they can carry us off to the most mythical and enchanted worlds, they can make the sweetest dreams come true, and they can make us dream and hope. But sometimes they are advocates, even more than they are magicians; they make us see invisible things, while they are showing us the real world and, in some cases, the real world is far from a sweet dream and without hope. "To reveal the invisible [...] not only changes the way we see the world, it changes our responsibilities in it" (Hovet, The Invisible London). That is what they sometimes need to do, make us feel responsible. For that reason current authors and directors show us the invisible world of illegals, they give faces and stories to ghosts that often are misused from politics and media to create fear. Fear that is needed to justify the state of exception and the state of exception is needed to maintain or expand political power. This paper is concerned with the film Dirty Pretty Things directed by Stephen Frears, and the novels Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah and A Distant Shore by Caryl Phillips. It uses them as representatives of the attempt of writers and directors to give voice to the group of illegal immigrants who do not have a political voice by themselves. As Frears phrases it, "Asylum is a huge political issue and the government doesn't handle it very well. [...] There's no attempt made to explain the problem, to explain that these people are serious." (Lucia, Interview 9) Thus, the authors try to explain the problem and they have obviously another point of view than their governments. To what extent the self-appointed advocates defend the interests of illegals and in how far they can change prejudices, distorted images and, at l

"The simple truth is that we've lost control of our own borders, and no nation can do that and survive." ?Ronald Reagan America is under siege, facing a hostile invasion on its own soil that most of its citizens know nothing about: the invaders are illegal immigrants, their battleground is the U.S-Mexico border, and what's at stake is the money, security, and freedom of all Americans. In this chilling exposé, investigative journalist Jon Dougherty contends that today's unchecked immigration is destroying the very fabric of our culture and endangering American lives. With alarming new evidence, Dougherty argues that illegal immigrants are brazenly turning America's welcome mat into a doormat and our reckless policies and lackluster restrictions are allowing criminals, drug lords, and even terrorists to take advangtage of our freedoms. "If 9/11 can't get us to secure our borders," says Dougherty, "nothing will!" Featuring compelling real-life accounts from the people who engage in the battle on the border every day?Border Patrol agents, local residents, and citizen-enforcement groups?this book shows definitively how illegal immigration costs taxpayers greatly and threatens the lives of all Americans, native-born and otherwise. It also proves once and for all that our government is doing nothing to stop this ever-growing crisis. This is the untold, unnerving story of life on the U.S.-Mexico border?how illegal immigration is quicklly making us all strangers in our own country.

AMERICA’S MELTING POT IS BOILING OVER. Millions of illegals strain an overburdened system. Crime rates skyrocket. From the Valley of the Sun to the halls of Congress, debate rages. All the while, murder and mayhem reign along the U.S.-Mexico border. Speaking into the fray at a timely juncture, radio talk-show host Darrell Ankarlo delivers a gripping, beyond-the-headlines look at illegal immigration: its victims, its perpetrators, and its toll on the heart of a nation and the will of her law-abiding citizens. From the hot-button state of Arizona, Ankarlo dared venture to the epicenter of the battle for America’s southern border. Now he dares you to absorb the heartbreaking stories and eye-opening discoveries he brought back from his undercover journey without finding yourself shaken, inspired... and compelled to act. Endorsements: “Instead of complaining about the “border problem,” Darrel Ankarlo set out to do something about it—he went there and lived it! In Illegals, Darrell provides a real and raw ‘boots on the ground’ look at our increasingly lawless southern border. This edition . . . will make you shake your head and say ‘no way’ as you’re presented with true stories and experiences about life along the border. This book will enlighten you and at times frighten you, but in the end you’ll know better than most politicians what’s really happening at the border.” —GLENN BECK

The experience of Central Americans in the United States is marked by a vicious contradiction. In entertainment and information media, Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, and Hondurans are hypervisible as threatening guerrillas, MS-13 gangsters, maids, and “forever illegals.” Central Americans are unseen within the broader conception of Latinx community, foreclosing avenues to recognition. Yajaira M. Padilla explores how this regime of visibility and invisibility emerged over the past forty years—bookended by the right-wing presidencies of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump—and how Central American immigrants and subsequent generations have contested their rhetorical disfiguration. Drawing from popular films and TV, news reporting, and social media, Padilla shows how Central Americans in the United States have been constituted as belonging nowhere, imagined as permanent refugees outside the boundaries of even minority representation. Yet in documentaries about cross-border transit through Mexico, street murals, and other media, US Central Americans have counteracted their exclusion in ways that defy dominant paradigms of citizenship and integration.

"J. P. Bone's novel ILLEGALS is a rarity in contemporary literature - a story which boldly and vividly presents a piece of contemporary history, told through characters who cannot fail to move you with their anguish and their courage. I am reminded of Upton Sinclair and John Steinbeck, who did not hesitate to confront the most urgent issues of their day through their fiction. ILLEGALS is a political novel that touches the heart. I hope it is widely read." Howard Zinn, Historian, author of A People's History of the United States "ILLEGALS is a rare uplifting literary work. It cites chapter and verse the details of the exploitation of working people from Latin America by the corporate colossus up north. It paints a bleak picture of immigrants' plight, yet offers inspiring hope for those who dare to work together in solidarity." Studs Terkel, Pulitzer Prize Winning author, historian "J. P. Bone has not only produced a novel worthy of reading on its literary merits, but his ILLEGALS is also an extraordinary story which captures the human drama of the everyday struggles experienced by Latino immigrants in their quest for survival and social justice." Carlos Muñoz, Jr. Professor Emeritus, U. C. Berkeley "ILLEGALS is, in a way, everyone's story. As a nation of immigrants, most of our families had to find a way, by hook or crook, to get into this country. It wasn't always pretty. Most have forgotten how it was that we happened to be Americans in the first place. A book like this reminds us that the struggle to enjoy the 'freedom' promised in America is exactly just that - still a struggle, still not available to all. I encourage you to read ILLEGALS not just for its powerful commentary, but because it's a damn good read!" Michael Moore, Academy award winning director, author "J. P. Bone proves that where there is a will there is a way and that in the midst of pain, struggle, and sacrifice, no human should be 'illegal.'" Jesse "Chuy" Varela "This moving and intimate story drawn from personal accounts takes you to the heart of the struggles of people fleeing Latin America. By following them with powerful empathy through burning sun, terror and courageous battles to survive, this novel should change forever the way we look at immigrants from south of the border." Bob Schildgen, Author of Hey Mr. Green! and Toyohiko Kagawa, a bigraphy of a Japanese reformer. The first edition of ILLEGALS by J. P. Bone, was published in 1996.The author made many important revisions to ILLEGALS in 2012, and again in 2014. The new second edition includes those revisions.

This book addresses an issue whose actuality is recognized by almost the entire spectrum of American society, yet no administration has been able or eager to resolve for decades -illegal immigration. And while the problem remains the bargaining chip for politicians for future negotiations, and the agitated American citizens' rage with indignation, millions of unwelcomed aliens have to live in a suspended state. But how long can one wait in standby mode, for decades, for a lifetime? Is it wise to rely fully on the prudence of those in power? The Illegals is one Eastern European family's candid tale of how they stumbled into illegality and how they stumbled back out.
