1. Beyond Smoke And Mirrors
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of U.S. immigration policy and its impact on both American society and the people who migrate. It critically examines the historical development of immigration laws and enforcement, debunking common myths and misconceptions with empirical evidence. The author argues that current policies are ineffective, often exacerbating the problems they aim to solve, and proposes a more humane and rational approach to immigration. By exploring the economic, social, and legal aspects of the issue, the book offers a clear-eyed view of the complex realities behind the rhetoric, advocating for policies that reflect the values of fairness and opportunity.
