An iceberg only shows half of its mass above sea level. In much the same manner the illegal immigration problem is much more than people entering the United States. While it is a huge problem, the complexities of it make it easy to look at it without a face, much less a name, a family, a dream.
In this volume, Mr. Ankarlo takes a comprehensive look at this phenomenon from angles both expected and unexpected. From actual interviews and research inside Mexico and the U.S. we are shown the flesh and blood reality of what is happening, who is being affected and even an in depth view of how we got to this point in history.
Well documented and for the most part well written, we are given viewpoints both pro and con of what this situation means and where it could end. Taking the risks to get the real story, Mr. Ankarlo lets you hear the firsthand accounts of not only those who are taking the chance to reach for the American dream, but those who make a very good living for themselves by assisting them to break to our laws. While as always, each reader must decide for themselves what to do; there is ample referral site listings for those individuals who wish to dig even deeper and/or continue to stay informed.
I would urge everyone to read this book and come away much more informed about the complexity and size of this problem. It will not go away until we face reality and act.
