Denied, Detained, Deported

Written by Ann Bausum

History books often show us the timeline of groups of immigrants arriving in the United States. These groups of immigrants came from all over the world for a variety of reasons. The overall picture is that of a nation with open arms welcoming anyone who wanted to immigrate to the United States. For some immigrants, this picture is an accurate one. For many others, the picture is like a palm tree in a desert, a mirage.

Denied, Detained, Deported is a great book to start conversations or debates on immigration. There are a few biographies to highlight different immigration scenarios. These personal biographies are the real gems of the book. However, statistics and histories of the subjects give a broader picture of the situation.
