Cat S. (catscritch) reviewed Detained and Deported: Stories of Immigrant Families Under Fire on + 158 more book reviews
While reading this quick-paced, information packed book, I kept thinking what a great story as Regan laid out one fascinating character after another, walked me through streets that Id never venture on my own and informing me of near medieval punishments that the U.S. allows to perpetrate policies to protect the American way of life.
Then I realized these arent stories. These are people! Individuals caught up in the harrowing trap of trying to better their lives, escape unimaginable circumstances and just attempting to be families. After reading this book, I realized this is a problem that needs to be addressed yesterday!
This book contains many different voices that flow together to allow the reader to understand the situation from a different perspective. The haves against the have nots. The unnecessary barbarism inflicted on men, women and children that get caught up in the continuing struggle of life in the U.S.A. A must-read for all Americans whose ancestors were riding the waves of migration back when it was a free for all.
