Summary:

"Just when I thought America could never have a civilized discussion about immigration, along came this wonderful book. Thomas Jefferson would be so proud that many knowledgeable people spent time together wrestling with this highly charged political issue and sharing their thoughts in writing. I wish I could mandate that NO ONE could debate about immigration untill they read this book and passed the test!" Pat Schroeder, Former Congresswoman from Colorado. From the bookjacket.
