Abstract:
In June 2012, President Obama's executive order enforcing parts of the Dream Act and the Supreme Court's decision to block components of Arizona's draconian immigration law propelled the immigration debate back into the headlines once again. Based on oral histories, individual testimonies, and years of research into the lives of ordinary migrants, Living ?Illegal" offers richly textured ?stories that often get lost in the rhetoric" (Gainesville Sun)?of real people working, building families, and enriching their communities even as the political climate has grown increasingly
