Granted the Digital Book World QED Seal for quality in eBook design How can we be sure terrorists aren't entering our country? What does it mean to be a citizen? Do immigrants help or hurt the economy? What's wrong with calling someone an illegal immigrant? In this Skeptic's Guide™ Dale Hanson Bourke sheds light on key terms and concepts, historical events and current concerns that drive the immigration debate. Such a complex issue offers no easy answers, but with charts and photos, facts and quotes, this dynamic guide sheds light without adding heat to the most important questions-a hallmark of the Skeptic's Guide series, making it a valuable resource for individuals and groups.
"The careful reader will be better informed and able to enter the debate with intelligence about the consequences of particular positions. It is possible to take a complex subject and break it down for better understanding of what is at stake in the debate. This is Bourke's gift and she has done a masterful job. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be more intelligent about the fate of immigrant neighbors."

"The legislative battle over immigration reform has become so deeply politicized that it has become commonplace to find facts tossed to the side. Immigration picks the facts back up and places them front and center. Dale Hanson Bourke offers the most thorough explanation of our current immigration system that I have ever encountered. In fact, this book answered questions I didn't even know I had. And that's the kicker: You'd think a book full of facts would be boring, but it wasn't.I just kept turning the pages. Like an expedition, each page offered new things to see and understand, and I left with a deeper appreciation of the need for and challenges presented by immigration reform."
