Illegal: How America’s Lawless Immigration Regime Threatens Us All Audiobook (Free)

A political scientist explains how the American immigration system ran off the rails — and proposes a bold plan for reform

Under the Trump administration, US immigration agencies terrorize the undocumented, target people who are here legally, as well as threaten the constitutional privileges of American citizens. How did we get to this point?

In Illegal, Elizabeth F. Cohen reveals our current problems has origins in early twentieth century white nationalist politics, which began to reemerge in the 1980s. Since then, Snow and CBP have acquired bigger finances and more power than any other law enforcement company. Now, Trump has unleashed them. If we want to invert the increasing tide of abuse, Cohen argues that we must work quickly to rein in the forces of the current immigration program and revive saner strategies based on existing law. Going beyond the news, Illegal makes obvious that if we don’t work now all of us, citizen and not, are at risk.
