meganzc's review against another edition
4.0
Straightforward prose and generally well-argued thesis that immigration is "part of an interconnected global system that has been shaped by history and economics" and is the issues associated with immigration are better resolved through policies that work towards a more equitable global system than through aggressive border patrol or anti-immigrant laws. Occasionally the author seemed to get off on a tangent or did not connect her arguments back to the myth she intended to debunk, but more often than not she succeeded.

A great, easy to read book that concisely dismantles many myths about immigration. I probably won't retain the specifics, but still a worth-while reminder not to believe everything you hear.
