In this young readers’ adaptation of his adult memoir Dear America, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and undocumented immigrant Jose Antonio Vargas tells his story, in light of the 12 million undocumented immigrants currently in the United States. Jose Antonio Vargas was only twelve years old when he was brought to the United States from the Philippines to live with his grandparents. He didn’t know it, but he was sent to the U.S. illegally. When he applied for a learner’s permit, he learned the truth, and he spent the next almost twenty years keeping his immigration status a secret. Hiding in plain sight, he was writing for some of the most prestigious news organizations in the country. Only after publicly admitting his undocumented status—risking his career and personal safety—was Vargas able to live his truth. This book asks questions including, How do you define who is an American? How do we decide who gets to be a citizen? What happens to those who enter the U.S. without documentation? By telling his personal story and presenting facts without easy answers, Jose Antonio Vargas sheds light on an issue that couldn’t be more relevant.

The issue of immigration into the U.S. from Mexico has become a difficult subject for Americans and Mexicans to discuss civilly; however, if approached from a historical perspective, we can see that there are two very different points of view. Most people in the U.S. seem to think that there is only one answer: The Mexicans are invading our land! They conveniently ignore the fact that the land Mexicans are being accused of invading was, at one time, a part of Mexico. Mexicans lost half of their land due to illegal immigration coming from the United States. This huge loss for the Mexicans became an immense gain for Americans in general. These facts should be known and taken into consideration when deciding future immigration from Mexico into the United States. The "Big Stick" diplomacy of the past simply won't work today. It's time to find new ideas that will adapt to the needs of today, and benefit both countries.

The most comprehensive collection of essays on undocumented immigration to date, covering issues not generally found anywhere else on the subject. Three fascinating volumes feature the latest research from the country's top immigration scholars. In the United States, the crisis of undocumented immigrants draws strong opinions from both sides of the debate. For those who immigrate, concerns over safety, incorporation, and fair treatment arise upon arrival. For others, the perceived economic, political, and cultural impact of newcomers can feel threatening. In this informative three-volume set, top immigration scholars explain perspectives from every angle, examining facts and seeking solutions to counter the controversies often brought on by the current state of undocumented immigrant affairs. Immigration expert and set editor Lois Lorentzen leads a stellar team of contributors, laying out history, theories, and legislation in the first book; human rights, sexuality, and health in the second; and economics, politics, and morality in the final volume. From family separation, to human trafficking, to notions of citizenship, this provocative study captures the human costs associated with this type of immigration in the United States, questions policies intended to protect the "American way of life," and offers strategies for easing tensions between immigrants and natural-born citizens in everyday life.

In "Coming to America"The untold truth about living and working in America as an immigrant, award-winning author Muchina, says it's time that someone finally told the biter truth about what it's like to live and work in America as an immigrant. Over a million people migrate to the United States every single year. What most of them don't know is that life in America is completely different from the America they see in the News or movies or American TV shows. In "Coming To America" Muchina talks directly to new immigrants as well as those planning on migrating to the United States in the future. With well-researched statistics and figures, he details the income of an average immigrant as well as the true cost of living and the sacrifices required in order to have a decent life while supporting family back home. Close to a million immigrants become undocumented every year. Muchina dedicates a few chapters to speak to those that may end up overstaying their visas or falling out of "Status" for various reasons. The challenges faced by undocumented immigrants are many, but millions of them find ways to get jobs, buy cars, rent apartments and even start their own businesses. The question is "How do they do it?" Those answers plus alternative documents the government makes available for undocumented people to open bank accounts and pay taxes to states that offer driver's licenses to undocumented residents; all found within the pages of this book In the final chapters of the book, Muchina shares his story of how his obsession with the pursuit of the American dream cost him everything he owned and nearly destroyed his life in the process. He tells his compelling poignant story as a warning to others whose desire to make a lot of money may lead them down the wrong paths with dire consequences. Mostly, with his deep understanding of how the American system works, he brings the wisdom of knowing "What not to do" as well as what aspects of life one must protect in order to build a decent and fulfilling life in America. In his own words, Muchina says 'This book is everything I wish someone had told me when I first came to America" So, If you're planning to migrate to America, this book will help you answer some of the most important questions you may have such as What are the 5 top myths about America? What are the top 5 mistakes most immigrants make? Is “The American Dream” possible for an immigrant? What will your host expect of you when you get to America? Where should you settle in and why? How are you expected to behave in America? How is America different from where you’re coming from? What are you going to love about the country and its culture? Will you be able to get a job? What kind of documents will you need to get a job? Will you be able to get work documents if you have a non-immigrant visa? Will you be allowed and able to get work if you have a non-immigrant visa? What happens if you overstay your visa? What kind of job will you be able to get as an immigrant? How much are you likely to get paid for what job? How much will it cost you to live in America? How much does housing cost? What can you or can’t you do? What kind of bills will you have to pay? What kind of taxes will you have to pay? How much money will you be able to earn per month? How much will you be able to save per month? If you wanted to start a business; could you? What kind of rights will you have as an immigrant? How do undocumented immigrants get jobs? What kind of work do undocumented immigrants do? What jobs pay better than others for immigrants? What rights do immigrants have? Do undocumented immigrants have any rights? What’s a social security number and why does everyone need one? What if you can’t get a social security number because of your immigration status? How do you get a driver’s license? If you go out of status, will you be able to get a driver’s license? Where can you get a driver’s license if you overstay your visa? What can you expect from friends and relatives when you move to America? How should you deal with relatives back home? What’s a FICO credit score and how does it determine your success or failure? What mistakes are you likely to make that could ruin your life in America? Will your foreign university degree get you a job in the United States? In part 4, you'll hear the story of the author, an immigrant whose life was nearly destroyed in America due to the lack of information such as found in this book. In his pursuit of the American dream, he made all the wrong mistakes, just like so many immigrants and citizens make. He hopes to spare you from the same fate so you have a chance to succeed and get yourself a piece of the American Dream.

This book describes the experiences of undocumented migrants, all around the world, bringing to life the challenges they face from the moment they consider leaving their country of origin, until the time they are deported back to it. Drawing on a broad array of academic studies, including law, interpretation and translation studies, border studies, human rights, communication, critical discourse analysis and sociology, Robert Barsky argues that the arrays of actions that are taken against undocumented migrants are often arbitrary, and exercised by an array of officials who can and do exercise considerable discretion, both positive and negative. Employing insights from a decade-long research project, Barsky also finds that every stop along the migrant’s pathway into, and inside of, the host country is strewn with language issues, relating to intercultural communication, interpretation, gossip, hearsay, and the challenges of peddling of linguistic wares in the social discourse marketplace. These language issues are almost always impediments to anodyne or productive interactions with host country officials, particularly on the "front-lines" where migrants encounter border patrol and law enforcement officers without adequate means of communicating their situation or understanding their rights. Since undocumented people are categorized as ‘illegal’, they can be subjected to abuse and exploitation by host country officials, who can choose to either tolerate or punish them on the basis of unpredictable, changeable, and even illusory or "arbitrary" laws and regulations. Citing experts at every level of the undocumented immigrant apparatuses worldwide, from public defenders to interpreters, Barsky concludes that the only viable policy to address prevailing abuses and inequalities is to move towards open borders, an approach that would address prevailing issues and, surprisingly, provide security and economic benefits to both host and home countries.

In development as a television series from Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine production company and ABC Studios! This hilarious, poignant and true story of one teen's experience growing up in America as an undocumented immigrant from the Middle East is an increasingly necessary read in today's divisive world. Perfect for fans of Mindy Kaling and Trevor Noah's books. “Very funny but never flippant, Saedi mixes ‘90s pop culture references, adolescent angst and Iranian history into an intimate, informative narrative.” —The New York Times At thirteen, bright-eyed, straight-A student Sara Saedi uncovered a terrible family secret: she was breaking the law simply by living in the United States. Only two years old when her parents fled Iran, she didn't learn of her undocumented status until her older sister wanted to apply for an after-school job, but couldn't because she didn't have a Social Security number. Fear of deportation kept Sara up at night, but it didn't keep her from being a teenager. She desperately wanted a green card, along with clear skin, her own car, and a boyfriend. Americanized follows Sara's progress toward getting her green card, but that's only a portion of her experiences as an Iranian-"American" teenager. From discovering that her parents secretly divorced to facilitate her mother's green card application to learning how to tame her unibrow, Sara pivots gracefully from the terrifying prospect that she might be kicked out of the country at any time to the almost-as-terrifying possibility that she might be the only one of her friends without a date to the prom. This moving, often hilarious story is for anyone who has ever shared either fear.

Approximately 11 million people live in the United States illegally, having crossed the borders without permission to find a better life. Many Americans are calling for reform to the nation's immigration policies, although there is substantial disagreement about what reform should look like. Trapped in the middle of the often angry rhetoric over immigration reform are an estimated 5.5 million children, who are either undocumented or live in "mixed-status" households. This book informs readers about the experiences of these children and teens. Although America is the only home most of these young people have ever known, they face many difficulties and risks because of their own or their family members' immigration status. Gripping text provides facts about the issue and puts a human face on the immigration debate.
