Publisher Description

No One Is Illegal debunks the leading ideas behind the often-violent right-wing backlash against immigrants, revealing their deep roots in U.S. history. This vital book highlights the history of white vigilante violence in the U.S., drawing parallels with today's Minutemen Project; examines the role of U.S. corporations in the Mexican economy, and the role of immigrant labor in the U.S. economy; reveals how patterns in U.S. immigration policy and campaigns to scapegoat immigrant workers are shaped by the needs of business and politicians; and offers an insightful analysis of the most recent battles over immigrant rights.

The authors also remember the long tradition of resistance to vigilante and state-sponsored racism among immigrants organizing in the factories and the fields, and chart a course toward justice and equality for immigrants in the U.S.

"amazing easy to read book about the history of immigrant struggles. it was amazing to me how a certain group would be vilified at one point only to be embraced later when another group was hated. this happened wit the chinese, japanese, filipino etc etc etc..."

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I'd say 3.5 stars, mainly because I felt that many parts of the book were too brief, and that, overall, the tone, though justifiably outraged, just didn't seem "scholarly." To be honest, my feelings on this matter are conflicted and complicated, but I"ll just leave it at that. "
