January - America We Need - Discussion Group

America We Need: Will devote its next two sessions to the important topic of immigration policy, one of the most consequential issues in the last election. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have struggled to address this growing humanitarian crisis. Immigration policy reflects our moral values, racial biases, economic interests, and social welfare, while also impacting our global standing.

Jonathan Blitzer’s Everyone Who is Gone is Here explores U.S. immigration policy’s history and evolution through the lives of those trapped in immigration limbo across Mexico, Central America, and the U.S. Hailed as one of the year’s best books, it is both informative and highly readable.

Please read Part 1 & 2 of the book and join us for the discussion.
